by NoahThere are actually people who will try to convince you that Paul Ryan is not a fan of Señor Trumpanzee. The photo for tonight's meme puts the lie to that in an instant. Just look at that adoring expression on Ryan's face. This is a man with his idol, a puppy with his master. It's also a picture of a pair of mangy disease carrying rodents that are the faces of the Republican Party. I wonder what was discussed the day this photo was taken.
Monday night Breitbart leaked this Paul Ryan tape from last October, a kind of a pep-talk going into the final lap of the 2016 election. We all read about it when he said he wouldn't be defending Trum now or in the future and that Trump is, intact, indefensible. But hearing it brings it home even more powerfully. And no, I'm not one of those who believes Trump will give a damn.
How many times have you heard your friends say something like, "Maybe he won't turn out that bad; after all he was a liberal Democrat his whole life. He's on record supporting Choice, supporting single payer, protecting Social Security and Medicare?" Forget it. Just forget it. He didn't let Pence talk him into appointing Georgia anti-Medicare fanatic Tom Price Secretary of Health and Human Services to do anything but destroy the health care social safety net. Trump doesn't believe in anything but winning-- at all costs...
Yesterday, Greg Sargent started the news cycle rolling at the Washington Post with a simple question: Will Donald Trump really go through with all of it?.
We just spent over a year explaining why Hillary Clinton, an avatar of the status quo, would be a terrible nominee for the Democratic Party. But that isn't what this post is about. This post is about why Donald Trump is a terrible choice of president for the United States of America. Kellyanne's quote above gets into it a bit.
