When I read Jeff Flake's Enough OpEd for the Washington Post on October 24, I thought it should be mandatory reading material for every civics class in America.

Zero Humility by Nancy OhanianBefore Trumpanzee started demanding Ryan call his tax bill, "The Cut Cut Cut Act," Chuck Todd had reported that House Republicans were facing a major disadvantage with their tax plan, even before they delayed the rollout of their bill until today, namely that "their plan starts out underwater, according to
