Paul Ryan’s Problems Are Just Beginning

New York Times: “If Mr. Trump is defeated on Nov. 8 — as Mr. Ryan has all but conceded — but Republicans maintain their House majority, it will fall largely to Mr. Ryan to piece the rubble of his party back together.”

The Republicans’ crisis would have an early reckoning with the House decision on whether the speaker should be Mr. Ryan — whose beliefs in free trade, tolerance toward immigration, changes to entitlement programs and conservative governance have long been Republican orthodoxy — or a new brand of leader who embodies Trumpism.”

They are a despicable lot.

They destroy everything they touch.

A) Hillary wins with democratic House, or

B) Trump wins with a republican House (because Trump won't let him be Speaker).
