I'm not arguing that you should vote for Trump. I'm just pointing out the lies and distortion. People should make their decision based on facts.

> Trump is calling bias here is because he knows that he antagonized people of Mexican origin

Doesn't matter. Even if Trump deliberately antagonized people of Mexican origin, he still deserves fair treatment in court.

> Re: Muslim ban/profiling

Muslim profiling is the de facto security policy in the United States and has been since way before Trump announced his candidacy. If Muslim profiling is equivalent to Nazi treatment of the Jews, I look forward to your spirited campaign calling for the resignation and charging of Obama. I agree on the Muslim ban: not a good idea, would have no effect on terrorism, and is contrary to the ideals of the country.

> You said that no one mentioned it. Apparently, you and I read different articles by sama then.

It's my fault, I meant no one mentioned it in the thread, and I didn't realize that you were referencing the articles reference. But again, I do think it's irrelevant to the point about the judge. Every argument should stand on logic and truth, otherwise we're just like the conspiracy theorists who put together 1 true argument, and 9 false ones, then point to the true one whenever someone points out the issues with the false ones.

> I'm sorry, but being a Trump supporter means you accept his positions on race, immigrants, and the economy.

I do agree with his position on removing illegal immigrants. They're a modern slave labor class in America that is being capitalized by the rich. They're mistreated, underpaid, and when I look at it the only two solutions I can think of to the problem are open borders or enforcement of the borders. Unfortunately Trump is the only candidate calling for the latter.

Why do you think he isn't getting it? Because he complains? You haven't followed very many court cases if that's how you judge judicial bias.

Or do you have actual concrete evidence from the court case itself to demonstrate bias?

True. Either remove them (and block more) or give those already here a way to "go legit" (and still block the border).

If Trump truly believed the judge was biased, why hasn't he instructed his lawyers to request him to be removed? From my understanding he has made no such formal request. The reason is because he is losing the case and those documents that came out a few weeks ago further solidify that.
Fox news Megyn Kelly actually makes a really good case on why attacking the judge is pretty outrageous, particularly for a presumptive presidential candidate. http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/06/07/megyn-kelly-forcing-tr...
