Donald Trump Keeps Up Attacks on Judge in Trump University Case

Discussion in 'Politics' started by ajensen, Jun 3, 2016.

  1. Meaning his comments are "misstated", or they disagree with him?

  2. Because however many voters Trump encourages to vote for him will be more than offset by the number of voters he encourages to vote against him.

    Donald Trump is the Ted Baxter of politics. Deal with it.

    They disagree with him, as do I.

  5. Don't expect it to be so easy. Trump has been silencing his naysayers (including me) for a while now.

    Trump is going to go into the presidential debate and when asked, actually expose that his position on this judge was probably correct, for all to see. And once again he will prove everyone wrong. He seems to thrive on controversy..

  6. That only works when preaching to the choir. Beyond that, he will get no traction. If anything, he's merely stoking his ego and repeatedly appealing to the same, unchanging base at the expense of burning bridges, one after the other. One can only hope that he continues in this manner.

  7. At some point Trump may learn that making provocative statements just for the sake of being provocative is counterproductive to his campaign. He may find himself stepping in a pile of crap that isn't so easily removed. Romney lost because he wouldn't open his mouth. Trump may lose because he won't shut his. Message to the Donald. You won! Give it a rest for a minute.

    I think we almost all agree at this point.
    At this stage save the attacks for hillary.

    I saw a cruz fiorina sign this morning in San Diego. That would have been an interesting ticket.

  9. I think it would have made for an interesting episode on The Munsters.

  10. Seriously, any halfway ethical judge would have recused himself voluntarily to avoid any impression of bias. This judge belongs to several hispanic first groups that have made no secret of their antipathy towards Trump. Since democrats claim that everything is dependent on race and ethnicity, and we have heard repeatedly that Trump has alienated hispanics, why is it so outrageous for him to think the judge is biased?

    And why is it racist? He isn't claiming hispanics are inferior, only dishonest. They are not a racial category in any case. Many are white, like George Zimmerman.
