He is running on a republican vote, therefore he needs to adopt the republican platform. He can't deviate from an original statement or else he loses credibility. He can't argue with a man who is dying or else he becomes a heartless bastard. He can and did remain silent to support himself in the only way possible.
If you want to bring emotions into an emotionless game then go ahead, but you won't win. All that matters is reputation, respect, and public appearance. He's going to lose your vote, but he's going to keep the ones that matter - the majority.
