Maybe Ryan should have read attorney Alberto Gonzalez’s Washington Post article defending Trump’s right to question Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s objectivity. Instead, Ryan -- once a Tea Party darling -- couldn’t wait to deride Trump’s comments as racist. This is why people like me -- reluctant Trump supporters -- will vote for him and enthusiastically defend his comments regarding Judge Curiel.
