Trump Comment Called Out As Racist By Republican Leaders

Let's start at the beginning. I think Mr. Trump is bad for America. I don't think he'll end America, I just think he'll damage our national standing until the next President comes along. Is he a racist? I actually think he's kind of like a lot of West Texans.

BOOM! Went your head. Well, it's true. Trump and a lot of West Texans say racist things even though they don't really have hate in their heart. No one ever taught them how to respectfully treat a person of a different race.  Then again, I ask myself. If Trump was in a lifeboat with ten people, five white and five Mexican, I don't think there is any question that we'd have a Latino overboard. So maybe he is a little racist.

GOP leaders have called Trump out for comments saying he didn't think he could get a fair trial from a Mexican judge (because he intendeds to build a wall).

This is what Speaker Of The House Paul Ryan said,

"Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,"

Damn Paul! Here's the funny thing though. Ryan said that he would still support Trump. Are you kidding me? You FLAT OUT call his comment racist but you "stand behind" the guy? Wow, that takes huge balls. Some other Republicans are saying that they can't support Trump at all.

Anyways, GOP, you called the guy out. That's the first step towards making amends with Latino voters. Good job.
