HuffPo:
So this is basically Paul Ryan trying very hard to be very nuanced in his positioning - he's trying to peddle nuance to voters who've been trained for 35 years to reject nuance as something weak and wishy-washy and all like Libtard-y and icky.
I sure hope Hillary's bunch knows enough to make Trump stick to every Republican in every race. Every Dem candidate should be calling out every GOP candidate, constantly pushing them all to declare publicly where they stand.
You take one of their favorite tactics - the False Dichotomy Fallacy - and you use it against them. "It's all and only one way or it's all and only the other way" - "You're either with Trump or you're against Trump" - "You can't have it both ways" - "It's all or nothin' at all".
Go get, 'em guys.
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had harsh words Tuesday for Donald Trump‘s comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, calling out the presumptive GOP nominee for racist comments while simultaneously reaffirming that his endorsement of Trump stands.
At an outdoor press conference set up to discuss the rollout of an anti-poverty plan, Ryan was asked if Trump’s repeated statements that Curiel should be disqualified from overseeing a Trump University case because of his Mexican heritage had made him regret his recent endorsement of Trump.
“I disavow those comments. I regret those comments that he made,” Ryan said.
“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” Ryan said. “I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”But Mr Ryan has decided to stay with his endorsement of Donald Trump, even as he condemns what Trump said for being something very typically racist.
