WOW! Speaker Ryan will "speak out" if The Donald "disfigures" conservatism! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

“If I see episodes where conservatism is being disfigured,” Ryan said, “if I see ideas and comments that mislead the people as to who we are as Republicans, I’m going to speak out on those.”

Ryan noted that he’s twice broken his silence on 2016 -- both times to address comments from Trump -- and he said he would continue to speak out when conservatism is being misconstrued. But he also said he’s not worried about not condemning every controversial statement the orange-tinted real estate tycoon makes.

When he was asked how he could reasonably work with Trump considering they are on the opposite sides of most policies -- Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich, leave entitlements alone and is opposed to free trade -- Ryan ducked acknowledging their policy disagreements.

“We’re going to speak out for who we are and what we believe. We’re going to run on our beliefs, we’re going to run on our ideas,” he said. “I’m just going to leave it at that.”
