For John, BLUF: I like Ryan for the big job. Nothing to see here; just move along.
I like Congressman Paul Ryan and here in The Washington Examiner is an example of why. He has the big picture.
Congressman Ryan makes the point that political progress is because a number of groups get together to achieve some common goals. If we were in Europe there would be a number of different political parties and they would form coalitions to achieve whatever they could agree to. We are blessed with a two party system and thus the coalitions are within our two parties.♠ We need to be looking for friends, not heretics.

♠ Yes, there are fringe parties, but they are at the fringe and while they provide a refuge, they don't provide political power.
Sadly, when Ryan says "invaluable," in the post-Citizens United world we live in, he means the GOP can't afford to tick of the big money donors funding the crazy.
ReplyDeleteI always imagined, if I was to become a whore, I would be a high fallutin' one. That doesn't necessarily mean I'd go to the highest bidder. There's also the notion I would maintain some class, ... while selling myself.
That's, imho, what our Speaker was getting at.
Sort of like the group Progressive Change Campaign Committee?

I discount the denials. This will not necessarily be a cake walk for Ms Hillary Clinton.
