Why is anybody in the Media still talking to Dirty Harry? Who cares what he says? He was one of the nastiest politicians ever.

Any small “fix” and Trump will own it. Let the whole thing implode!

The comment is from 2013, in a rare moment of candor from Reid.

To the “if he changes it he owns it crowd” do you really think the media will give him a pass if the system collapses and he does nothing?

He could be giving Ryan enough rope to hang himself.
There was an article in the Boston Globe speculating that Trump is playing Ryan.

Off-topic ... should the title read 'Try To Fix It', not 'Try And Fix It'??
