“Ryan sure acts like a man who has received an enormously large bribe, doesn’t he?”
I don’t think so. He acts like someone who’s only interest is maintaining the majority.
You and I might disagree about what will lead to majorities, but I am fairly confident as to Ryan’s opinion.
For me, if we are afraid to use our majority to role back the size of the government then just what good is it to control both the presidency and congress.
That’s an amazingly generous blanket excuse for any behavior whatsoever, and very conveniently couched in terms that make any objective assessment impossible.
I’m guessing that holding representatives accountable for their actions in office isn’t a big thing for you.
