House Speaker Paul D. Ryan stepped in front of cameras Tuesday and delivered just the sort of high-minded, clear-eyed, aspirational message that has made him a Republican Party standard-bearer.
”This party does not prey on people’s prejudices; we appeal to their highest ideals,” he said. “We believe all people are created equal in the eyes of God and our government. This is fundamental, and if someone wants to be our nominee, they must understand this.”
Moments later, asked what if that nominee were in fact Donald Trump — who days before had balked at denouncing the Ku Klux Klan — he was forced to retreat from the moral high ground. ”I plan to support the nominee,” he said.
When he was drafted into the speaker’s chair four months ago, Ryan acknowledged the job would be difficult. But, thanks to Trump, it has become much worse than that. He has come to embody the party establishment’s existential conflict: deeply wary of Trump’s divisive antics but reluctant to reject him entirely.

I would put him in jail, so he is getting off easy.
The Washington post is a bad joke.
Ryan probably thought they were going to ask him about all his time at the gym.
A fool searching for a clue.
We can only pray that it is true. Bye bye Ryan RINO.
The concern trolls at WaPo.
....even though he had denounced them a couple of dozen times before....
I would too. Along with anyone who supports foreigners breaking our laws stepping across our border without required documents permitting them to enter our country.
Whatever, Speaker Ryan. I’m supporting Trump/Cruz because I want my children to be free from the slavery of Islam and I want my nation’s borders to actually mean something.
If you can’t handle that then find another line of work.
Seriously, Speaker Ryan, I expected better of you than this.
I would like to see him primaried in his home district,
as a lobbyist. then he could join the ranks of the unemployed , or get a job
