Donald J. Trump has some advice for panicked Republicans in Washington who are melting down over his most incendiary statements: Man up.
“Politicians are so politically correct anymore, they can’t breathe,” Mr. Trump said in an interview Tuesday afternoon as fellow Republicans forcefully protested his ethnically charged criticism of a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against the defunct Trump University.
“The people are tired of this political correctness when things are said that are totally fine,” he said during an interlude in a day of exceptional stress in the Trump campaign. “It is out of control. It is gridlock with their mouths.”
Even as he chastised Washington’s political class for a lack of backbone, Mr. Trump exhibited modest signs later on Tuesday that he was getting the message that some remarks — such as questioning the fairness of Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel because of his Mexican heritage — crossed a line.
While he did not apologize, he issued a statement that his comments on Judge Curiel had been “misconstrued.” In a final Republican primary night victory speech, he struck a more conventional tone — at least for him — giving a more disciplined address using the teleprompter he has mocked while promising to make the Republican Party proud in the general election campaign.
But anyone thinking that Mr. Trump is going to suddenly adopt a more cautious, strategic approach yearned for by election-conscious congressional Republicans is likely to be disappointed. He wrinkled his nose in disgust at the mere mention of the word “pivot,” though he conceded he wants to get on to broader discussion of the economy.
In his view, it is clear that his way has worked and the establishment’s has failed. After all, he vanquished every senator, governor or former governor who challenged him for the party’s nomination.
“I disagree with a lot of things I’ve watched in politics over the years, that’s why I’m running,” Mr. Trump said over a meatball lunch he barely touched in the restaurant of Trump Tower. “And that may make me less popular with politicians. But I have to be honest. I didn’t get there by doing it the way a lot of these people do it

Yes, his Twitter feed is great. I always check it when I load Twitter.
And as others have posted, his exchange with Hitlery yesterday was 100% real.

It is illegitimate to make that accusation in either instance, without a specific reason and one supported by evidence that it is true.

Your 100% correct. Illegitimate without reason. However, the judge is a member of a La Raza organization, to what degree I don't know), which is the reason he could be biased, in this case.
You must admit, if a white judge were a member of a pro-white racial organization (or bund), there would be a liberal shit fit goin on.

Graph: Trump's Historic 13 Million Primary Votes Compared To Every GOP Nominee Since 1908
Posted Wednesday, June 8th 2016 @ 11am by Hannity.com Staff
With victories in five states on Tuesday, GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump has now received over 13 million primary votes, more than any other Republican primary candidate since the party's founding in 1854. Trump surpassed George W. Bush, who previously held the record at just over 12 million primary votes in 2000.
For some historical context, here's how Trump stacks up against every GOP primary candidate since 1908:

Well, its a good start.

Let me get this straight. This genius is angry because Trump "wants to take my Mama's food stamps," but he is able to post a $23,000 bond? Perfect.
Wonder how long mama could have eaten for the cost of that hardware in his picture?
In other news, the GOP continues to squirm over Trump's repeated use of "Pocahontas" to describe Elizabeth Warren. Good! I hope it gives the RINO's terminal watery diarrhea.
From the MSN piece, another snowflake with a worthless study: "Stephanie Fryberg, an associate professor of psychology and American Indian studies at the University of Washington, said her studies have found that exposing Native American children to images of Pocahontas lowered their sense of collective self-worth."
Probably not nearly as much as spending time with a snowflake looking for a worthless outcome for her pseudo-science.

There was no cost. He stole them. Very much like the ass wipes in DC who steal from us.
Be safe.

Well, she was foolish enough to call him thin skinned and a fraud. We'll see if he can come up with a suitable response that incorporates her own fraudulent claims. I think he will.

I watched a Megan Kelly show last week, and she was still flogging Trump for his "racist" statements regarding the judge in the Trump University case. "What else can it be except racism to question a man's fairness based on his ethnicity? An American, born in Indiana!"-- was the general line.
She is smart enough to know all about that judge's connection with La Raza. And activities of his -- on behalf of illegals-- that clearly call his objectivity in question. But not a word about any of that, much to her disgrace. The good news is that her little show is tanking, and has gone from a former high of #1, briefly, to #3 now, behind Hannity.
Here is interesting info about the San Jose Chief of Police and La Raza. Again, the MSM will bury it.
