Illinois Rep. Gov. Rauner will NOT support Trump!
« on: June 08, 2016, 05:34:40 am »

Gov. Bruce Rauner says he's "disgusted" by Donald Trump's comments....In a statement Tuesday, Rauner says Trump's remarks... "do not reflect the values of America" or the Republican party.

Rauner's aides have said he won't endorse Trump and doesn't plan to attend this summer's Republican National Convention.

He should also renounce his membership in the GOP.

If the GOP nominates a thug like Trump, then I would not choose to be associated with such a party.

Maybe.  Is it not possible to disavow Trump and still continue to work for real republican values?

Republicans have maximum leverage over Trump right now.

They should FORCE him to apologize over the remarks he made about the judge.

And if he doesn't?  Pull your endorsement.

Trump will never apologize, according to him his words were misconstrued.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Of course. I still find it rather hard to see how the accusation that a judge is biased because he's Mexican can be construed as anything other than an ethnic slur.

Because only Bigots think all Mexicans are of one ethnicity. And no hes right so should not apologize. This La Raza Judge is Pro Reconquista aka Pro Mexico anti-American Judge. But you knew this. However the political side that argues for reasonable gun control argues Mexican is a race.

So...you are categorically supporting a candidate who IS trying to garner public approval with bigotry to offset his offenses and has previously stated that the DEMS have got it right about assault weapons.  Got it.

I've been saying that since around 1992 or so (when it became apparent that Bush 41 was a RINO and not going to continue with the Reagan tradition). How about you?

Question: How's that worked for us so far?

The way the primaries are set up makes it possible for a minority to choose the candidate.  And some of the voters who may have voted for Trump earlier on may not have voted the same way had they known all the things he'd say/do later.

The solution is to not vote for this guy in the general election, and nominate a better candidate next time around.  Not take your ball and go home.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but I'd point out that Sonia Sotomayor openly stated that she would expect someone's ethnic heritage and gender to affect how they view issues as a judge.  So if you take what she said as accurate/acceptable, then I don't think it would be fair to criticize Trump for essentially just taking her statement to it's logical conclusion.

Of course, I think her statement reveals bias/bigotry on her part, so it's not a defense for Trump.  But I think it takes balls the size of basketballs for the Left, who supported Sotomayor and generally saw nothing wrong with her statements, to get pissy because Trump linked ethnicity and the role of the judiciary.  They can't have it both ways.

The solution is to work hard for the election of down-ticket GOP candidates and work just as hard to see Trump denied the nomination or, barring that, defeated in an historic landslide. 

Only a swift and sure rejection of this man will allow the GOP and the conservative movement to save face.

How do you know the judge is pro-Reconquista?

I have met Rauner and have had a couple casual and shallow conversations with him.  That said, I like him.  The budget showdown he is having in Springfield with Mike Madigan (Illinois House Speaker) is becoming epic.  I pray he doesn't blink - as in Scott Walker.  Time will tell.

Rauner is said to be a billionaire, certainly worth 100's of millions. 

I doubt Trump can win Il..the Clinton machine is entrenched in No Il..it would be a miracle for Trump to win here.

Here is how the 101 counties voted in the last Gubernatorial election in Illinois.  It took several days to confirm the vote and to get Quinn to concede.  Cook County (Chicago) is a big nut to overcome.

Do you not have any misgivings about your presidential candidate using his campaign pulpit as a platform to try to influence opinion regarding a private lawsuit he's involved in?
