WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan vowed on Thursday to speak out against Republican presidential campaign rhetoric that could mislead voters about the party and its conservative principles, but stopped short of criticizing front-runner Donald Trump directly.

On a day when his former presidential running mate Mitt Romney denounced Trump, Ryan said he "laughed out loud" this week when Trump warned that the speaker could pay a big price for not getting along with him if he becomes the party nominee.

"Here's what I can control. If I see episodes where conservatism is being disfigured, if I see comments that mislead the people as to who we are as Republicans, I’m going to speak out on those," said Ryan.

The speaker has already admonished Trump for failing to disavow support from Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

1. Going for his gun?

7. Napoleon complex?

[Biki]

8. Nice

What an eye. Can't believe you caught that.

What is he doing anyway?

[yellowcanine]

10. Thanks. I had some good history teachers in school and I loved it.

Always remembered the pictures of Napoleon with his hand stuck into his vest.

2. This guy is a bigger asshole than Trump!

[Justice]

3. He is playing both sides of the fence as well.

[Trust Buster]

4. This coming from a guy whose irresponsible rhetoric paved the way for Trump.

We warned them for years about what their vitriolic rhetoric was doing. They ignored us. Now they find themselves drowning in a cesspool of their own s**t. Good on 'em.

[Plucketeer]

5. If there weren't so many of these GOP asshats

in power, I'd be laughing my ass off at their toilet bowl whirlpool. What's going on IS amusing, but it's also scary since they have a hand on SO MUCH of this country. And there's no telling what sort of shit they'll pull as their "party" performs a Hindenburg maneuver.

6. Yes

I know, a lot of people here seem to be rejoicing like it is the end of the party. Far from it, they control so many statehouses and I can't believe all the states that used to be solidly Democratic that have republican governors.


Peace

11. You are right

...and it's a BIG problem.

(We have to rebuild the party and the base. Who can do that?)

9. "Shhhh, Donald" says Ryan.
