Of course, Ryan is now the 2nd biggest fake in American politics since Trump is now President-Elect. Confidence men understand other confidence men, which is one of the reasons these two dislike each other. Trump knows the marks will get really angry if Ryan starts messing with Medicare and Social Security and I think he will make it clear to our sleazy Speaker that those two things are off the table. In any event, I doubt that Ryan has much support for screwing around with these two entitlements even within his own caucus. Look what happened to the Cat Food Commission, after all.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-68489997245689204902016-11-11T11:40:30.410-05:002016-11-11T11:40:30.410-05:00They will try this approach, but I don't think...They will try this approach, but I don't think it will play. Trump sold himself as a man who can fix anything. He can't just whine. That's not being the Leader.

I don't care about appearing fair or grateful or any other gracious amenity the Clintons or their entourage think they have coming for their trouble. Others with better vision are ready to get to work. Progressives are going to have to start from scratch. At the office of dog catcher level. It's going to take years. If this party can't do it, another one will. The Republicans were out in the cold for 40 years. There is work for the new generation to do. Neoliberal, DLC, triangulating, "3rd-way" Clintons, you had your shot. Now please go away and stay gone. <br /><i>“Remember, no human condition is ever permanent.

They've trashed all their own others. So it's tear down Obama's approval or folks might start thinking the Ds are competent, and that just feeds unrest.<br /><br />It's all in 1984. They cite it for the same reason they cite Saul Alinsky: they've memorized those like playbooks.<br /><br />Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-73964173850185805452016-11-10T22:45:47.544-05:002016-11-10T22:45:47.544-05:00Next 4 years?
