Trump Decides to Talk About Judge Curiel Again
Remember six hours ago when Donald Trump said he wouldn’t comment any further on Judge Gonzalo Curiel and the Trump University lawsuit? Well … he’s talking about him again:
Trump admitted to host Sean Hannity he does not care about the judge’s nationality, a significant walkback from comments made over the past few days that U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel could not oversee his case because of his Mexican ethnicity, even though he was born in the U.S.
“It’s sad,” Trump said, referring to how some have “misconstrued” his views on the judge. “I don’t care where the judge comes from. I just want to get a fair shake. We’ve had unfair opinions coming down and you wonder, what is going on?”
Don’t worry, GOP. I’m sure the new presidential Trump will be here any day now.

Well, something tells me he wouldn’t even notice the theme…. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8533/9002652869_beab4052bc_b.jpg
Given Trump’s proven propensity to turn on anyone who has anything corrective to say to him or about him and to rain glory on anyone who professes to like him and what he says, how can anyone trust that Trump will make choices for the Supreme Court judiciously. He is an egotistical, emotional windbag whose only consistency is his inconsistency. That is not to say that I in any way support the presumptive alternative. What I would truly love to see is a revolution in Cleveland where delegates to the convention demonstrate the wisdom we would all hope they possess. I have no doubt that in the coming weeks Trump will give us more and more reasons for that outcome. I would hope that those of you who express the sentiments DocJay did would support such an outcome.
