It was much easier to admire Mr. Ryan before he voted for that debt deal.
It’s like when your favorite actor appears in a real stink-bomb of a movie. You just want to say: Couldn’t you tell how putrid that film was going to be when you read the script??
Ryan stands about #4 in the House leadership. He’s feeling his way. Even in the House, there is Cohen to consider. Cohen wants to be Speaker. I don’t know what Ryan wants. He might have run for the Senate in 2012 if the way had been clear. As for Governor, Scott Walker is there. He is young but not charismatic like Rubio. If I were any of the people now running for the nomination, I would pick him as VP.
