More racist rhetoric from drumpf re "Mexican" judge presiding court case re Univ of drumpf lawsuits

"I have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump, a hater. He’s a hater. His name is Gonzalo Curiel. He is not doing the right thing. And I figure, what the hell? Why not talk about it for two minutes?

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

NOTE: This is MSM, notice

also

Republican nominee Donald Trump erupted (in) a racist rant against the American-born judge in the Trump University case and destroyed any chance that the GOP had of passing him off as anything less than a deranged, self-serving, racist.

1. There's a strategy behind the racist rants.

Trump is attempting to goad the judge into responding or remarking on his inflammatory statements. And if the judge took the bait (he didn't), then Trump's counsel could move to have the judge removed from the Trump U case, which is what Trump really wanted in the first place.

But this little episode only reinforces his disdain for Hispanics and they certainly aren't fooled by this conniving liar. He'll never have their support and they're a substantial percent of the electorate.

Give him just enough rope to hang himself.

it may be helpful shoring up support with his cultivated base of racists and xenophobes, but by now i think he already has their votes. i'm sure at this point any and all advisers would be asking for him to tone the racism down a bit for the general. bummer for them if he's gotten so used to rousing up his base with racist rhetoric that this gem just kind of slipped out.

Hopefully they are a dying breed of insane angry white men that never have enough ammo or guns and pretends Jesus was Rambo and Reagan was a founding father. Trump supporters are very low information voters.

This is why I keep saying he won't have the numbers to beat the Dem nominee.

We don't get off that easily. It's just going to be harder, far less pleasant, working more for less, and getting to explain to our grandchildren how their books describe what the world was like when we were children--before we trashed it.
