Yet another reason why the “Paul Ryan Plan” was such a useless, stupid exercise. Needlessly giving Democrats a signature issue to hurt the GOP with seniors, all for an issue we could never, ever get through the Senate or President.

Sadly true.
Barack Obama is president partly because when the stock market crashed in ‘08, his opponent acted first and rashly suspended his campaign. Obama sat on the sidelines doing nothing... and was rewarded.
Now, the Repubs have acted first again without thinking through all the consequences, and the Dems are reaping the benefits, for nothing.
It’s time for Conservatives to go on the offensive, and drop all the earnest attempts to “save the country” stuff. Addressing entitlements is much too difficult (and politically dangerous) a task for inarticulate squishes like the current Repub leadership.
