"“What happens is the judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great. I think that’s fine,” Mr. Trump said."

Really? Then why bring it up at all?  It's the same stuff over and over again.  He's not going to call Lying Ted Lying Ted anymore.  He doesn't believe Hillary killed Vince Foster but some people do, so he's not going to talk about it.  The schtik has become quite old.

Exactly.  (We need a "like" emoticon.)

But his latest wife never will, once she is over 40 he will find a replacement.

If Trump treats the presidency like he treats marriage then part way through his first term he'll leave and find another country to run.

Well If Gingrich is VP, he has talked about impeaching judges....


Impeach the judge on what charge?? He hurt Donald's little feelings??

Trump is no Marxist. Or Stalinist. Or Fascist.

Trump is a warlord, pure and simple. He uses whatever works for his benefit.

He has made statements that are nationalist, and he has made statements that are mildly socialist.  I'll leave it to the discerning reader to consider the plausible line of reasoning.

Mexican, Mexican-American (which might be the proper term at least 30 years ago), Chicano (don't hear that one anymore), Hispanic, sorry, these terms are almost interchangeable.  Not sure if it is racist in that regard.

The issue is the fact of the description, not the tenor of the description.  The race of a federal judge in a fraud case is not relevant to the case, in fact I don't see that it's relevant to anything.

I don't believe Trump is a racist.  This is his usual ad hominem innuendo approach to every issue, but in this instance he chose to make the ad hominem one based on race, so he has opened himself up to charges of racism.

It was an incredibly stupid thing to say.

Trump may not be a racist (I'm not convinced), but he knows a lot of his followers are.  So that's why he brings up the judge's race.

It's all about selling, and he wants to lock down that us-versus-them vote every time he speaks.

You think it is ok to call someone out on their ethnicity then?  What is yours?  Anytime I see a comment from you I'll say Hi, Mechanicos. You're a xyz, not that there's anything wrong with that.  Whether it bothers you or not, would it be appropriate?

Hell yes when the odds are his race is the reason he was nominated by Obama. AKA an AA Hire in PC world.

If one recalls, this is generally similar to what Trump said about Jeb Bush's wife who is a true native born Mexican: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba_Bush

That many Latinos don't like Trump is evident.

Too, I've seen those signs "Latinos for Trump" at the rallies.

If Trump had said the judge had a Hispanic heritage perhaps that would have been acceptable. I see this in ways just being another case of the crass nature of Trump's words.

Oh, so a conservative Mexican would have been appointed because he's Mexican to be an AA hire?

Here's exhibit A of what I was talking about upthread.  A typical Trump follower.  No Mexican-American can be viewed as a legitimate judge because of his race.

The Kennedys; at least Teddy may have had sympathies to the IRA, is it wrong to call out their Irish heritage? To say they are Irish? Really not.

Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges in this case.

Just like Obama too, has apparently been anti-British and he was called out for it, rightfully because of his background as well.  And I've never called Obama a Kenyan but some do; I don't necessarily jump to the conclusion that is a racist thing to say.

What's the point?  When someone highlights another person's race in a negative way, it's usually racism.

So, anyone who says that Ted Kennedy may have had sympathies to the IRA because TK was Irish is probably a racist? Thanks for the laugh.

No impeach him because hes an Obama liberal activist.

So what exactly is the impeachable offense here?  What action did this judge take that is contrary to his oath of office and proper jurisprudence established under the Constitution of the United States of America?  Please be specific.

He was appointed by Obama, that excludes hes conservative, that hes pro-American etc. We have Obama's other picks to look at, all are liberal activists.

It was pointed out to me yesterday that highlighting this clear and obvious truth happens to be frowned upon on this forum.  It is 'truth' nonetheless.  But hey, Trump has huge rallies . . .

Yes, but you said "Hell yes when the odds are his race is the reason he was nominated by Obama. AKA an AA Hire in PC world."  So which is it? He was nominated because he's a Mexican and therefore filling out an AA slot, so it's ok to call him out as a Mexican?  Or he was nominated because he was a liberal and so it's ok to call him out as a Mexican?

If he was considered for the nomination because he was a liberal and got bonus points because he happens to be Mexican then call him out as a liberal.  Why defend Trump for playing the race card when we conservatives hate the race card being played?
