Paul Ryan has let the supercilious dolts in our Party--those who did not celebrate when Donald Trump demonstrated that Republicans in general did not cow-tow to "political correctness," destroy a promising future. It is very sad, because he showed real potential before his losing run for Vice President, and his serious ineptitude in dealing with Joe Biden's antics in the Vice Presidential debate.

In fact--and I guess this makes me sound as stupid as the "Never Trump" dolts in the Party--I was ready, this morning, to post a piece advocating Ryan as Trump's running mate, as a way to bring the Party together. My theory was two-fold: That Ryan would bring the establishment towards accepting the new dispensation; and that Trump's strong defense of traditional American values would free Ryan to return to the image he cast before he was the pathetic VP nominee in 2012.

I confess to my error to make another point. We are all capable of doing something stupid. What we must never do, is pretend that stupidity is a virtue; or that trying to rationalize stupidity can ever do more than simply compound it.

I sincerely hope that Paul Ryan will come back to the society of the rational. That is a hope, not necessarily an expectation; certainly not something anyone can rely on.

Not likely, isn’t Romney his mentor?

No....Ryan has ALWAYS been an open borders, cheap labor psychopath. He was working against protecting our borders as far back as the 90s.
