Paul Ryan is playing right into Donald Trump’s master plan

Here we go again.

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has done it this time. His attacks on the Mexican heritage of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel clearly show that Trump's campaign is off the rails. The proof is that even prominent Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich have disavowed themselves from Trump's attacks on the judge. Surely, this is the beginning of the Trump campaign's self-destruction!

Not so fast my friends.

Let me rewrite the opening paragraph to represent the true Trump strategy here, one I don't endorse but still recognize for what it is:

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has done it again. His attacks on the Mexican heritage of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel clearly show that Trump's campaign is still following its uncharted but calculated path. The proof is that even prominent Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich have disavowed themselves from Trump's attacks on the judge. Surely this is the continuation of the Trump campaign's brash efforts to separate itself from the Republican Party — not so much in reality, but in voter perception....

The best thing for the GOP would be if Paul Ryan, McConnell, and all the other GOP traitors get an incurable cancer.

Have been hugely disappointed in Newt over this matter. It would have been easy for him to defer comment until after he had conferred with Trump.

As it is, he has lost any chance of a future with the Trump Administration.
