Trump Thread

[drone]

I find it amazing how much hope people attach to a politician as though the next one will somehow magically be the one to selflessly fight for all the issues that they want.

I think you have mistaken me for someone who actually believed Ryan's BS about fiscal responsibility, I never had much hope for the man in the first place. But for someone who railed against the overpowered executive, he acted like a freshman rep in one of the most powerful positions in the country.

Ryan got the first tax reform bill since Reagan through the Congress and did so by dragging Trump along and keeping the reactionary wing of the GOP under check. What more of a mark could he make as Speaker (especially having to work with THIS President) than that? It is not as though Gingrich, Hastert, or Boehner accomplished anything more significant or of greater appeal to GOP voters.

He got a tax cut, not a reform. Tip O'Neill got a tax reform bill passed, Ryan just raided the treasury.
