Trump fumes over … It was a confident smile: Given what he knew about Republican politics, given the energy in Columbia that weekend, given the hunger he saw for unity and aspirational politics, he was going to lead the charge to vanquish Trumpism and deliver the GOP into a new era.Donald Trump didn't show up that day. As a congressman, Paul Ryan shamelessly ran cover for Trump. Paul Ryan is pulling Trump left as evidenced by Obamacare lite (i.e., Ryancare) and his proposed BAT. In Trump's first couple of months Paul Ryan has done nothing of the sort. The Ryans shifted away from their tailored image with ‘Have You Ever Loved Somebody’ (1966) and ‘Keep It Out Of Sight’ (1967), penned, respectively, by the Hollies and Cat Stevens, but such releases were less successful.

We beat the paleocons in the early '90s; they’re beating us now.Of course, Mattis and Kelly and Tillerson served at the pleasure of the president. Most Republicans have chosen the latter, even if they might regret it later. Adios, supposed “Budget Policy Genius.” Farewell, “Boy Scout Midwestern Nice Family Guy.” Gone are the aw shucks and the backward baseball cap dad people want to chat up at the local track meet.That question on Ryan’s soul, however, appears settled.
