Trump's allies are backing him against the judge

[oberliner]

Hard to believe, but check out some of the headlines from the right-wing "news" sites:

Donald Trump Is Correct To Hit ‘La Raza’ Judge For Latino Identity Politics

Trump U judge's group tied to National Council of LaRaza

Judge Presiding Over Trump University Case Is Member Of La Raza Lawyers Group

Former attorney general: Trump right to question judge’s fairness

Alberto R. Gonzales: Trump has a right to ask if Judge Gonzalo Curiel is fair

And from Pat Buchanan:

First, Trump has a perfect right to be angry about the judge’s rulings and to question his motives. Second, there are grounds for believing Trump is right.

I won't link to the unsavory sites, but I just thought folks should know that the Trump spin machine is working to justify him even under these circumstances.

1. Panel on Anderson Cooper was arguing for Trump against judge

Several of Cooper's panel (3-4) Monday night were arguing that Trump was right about the judge. Anderson seemed genuinely shocked and strongly challenged the panel.

2. I'm seeing it all over the place

I honestly did not think Trump would have so many surrogates going to bat for him on this one.

They are comparing the judge belonging to a Latino group to his being a member of the KKK.

8. He ordered his surrogates and supporters to do attack the judge. nt

3. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”

Lindsey Graham calling for his colleagues to join him in "un-endorsing" Trump:

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,” Mr. Graham said. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”

None of Trump's earlier behaviors kept Graham from endorsing Trump for POTUS, but this same old/same old is somehow too much and he's bailing? Whatever.

Maybe what's happening is the MSM have taken all the profits they dare from Trump and are now themselves in the process of "bailing" from their creation? THAT would be a yoooge watershed moment, if it's happening.

4. Yeah, some "mainstream" Republicans are saying things like that

But there is also a strong flank of people that completely have his back on these comments 100 percent (like Hannity and his ilk).

5. Seems as if there's a lot less of Trump's face on TV,

tthough, but I haven't been watching much and don't really know. When we arrived back in Georgia, where we have TV and cable (eager for some long hours of political babble), it seemed like Trump was on all day and I ended up leaving it off.

Over the past few days I've watched a bit more, not enough, and seen some aggressive pushbacks against him from the press. Fewer of their dishonest claims of what an incredible "genius" he has for manipulating them. Makes me wonder. They created "Candidate Trump," and survival would be tough if they turned on their creation.

6. He was on the phone with Hannity yesterday

They did an interview where Hannity supported his comments about the judge.

7. Schmucks. Wonder how long it'd take them

alone in a room together before Trump's attempted bullying and dominating pushed Hannity into declaring war. Lol.

9. Such is what allies do.

I don't think there's much to be surprised about here. Sad, but not surprised.

10. good to know that alberto gonzales is still on the wrong side of everything
