When Republicans have a severe communications mishap, all conservatives should be concerned about getting the situation righted as soon as possible.
If someone seeking to speak for all Republicans commits a seething unforced error, it must be addressed promptly so that voters know they can expect better moving forward.
I am referring, of course, to Paul Ryan.
Sure, Donald Trump could have been more precise in his complaint about Judge Gonzalo Curiel. Something like this: The Judges ethnicity poses no problem in and of itself. But there is an appearance of impartiality based on racial politics the judges membership in a pro-amnesty lawyers association is in direct conflict with my campaign policies.
What would that take, ten seconds? Fine-tuning Trumps phraseology is easy. Far more pressing is the issue of key Republicans choosing to lie about our presumptive nominee.

Trump has expressed this, and it's simple enough that it should take a legal expert to explain why Trump is wrong, not why he is right. The lead plaintiff in the case dropped out. Trump moved to have the case dismissed. The judge ruled the case could proceed.
Good summary of the legal minutia, which disagrees with Trump's conclusion, but at least gets past the sound bites.
I think it's pretty funny that the press slams Trump for accusing this judge of bias; and then the press turn around and slams the judge in the Stanford rape case.

One can only imagine what it would be like without the Internet and Talk Radio and being completely dependent on the Commie MSM for so called news
Nope
Sorry; the whole incident is a tempest in a teapot.
Whatever Trump says is going to be ‘misconstrued’.
Another FOOL trying to make excuses for Trump when he doesn’t need any.
Trump doesn’t speak PC. All these so-called conservatives still do. They are so worried about being PC that they just don’t understand Trump. The PEOPLE do.
Trump said nothing WRONG. Only in a PC world would anyone think he did.
The DEMS candidate is under FBI investigation YET they have circled the wagons and WON’T BE BUDGED!!! Our side on the other hand are a bunch of COWARDS, these PU$&y$ ALL NEED to get a SPINE, this is EXACTLY WHY we want Trump WE put a FIGHTER on the ticket this time and these BASTARDS can’t even back him up!!! JUST PATHETIC!!!
