Attention Bernie and Hillary supporters: More popcorn please!
Oh, what a tangled web the Republicans weave.
From Political Wire:
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) “has one goal for this year: to form a conservative policy agenda for the Republican presidential nominee to embrace. If that nominee is Donald Trump, that may be a waste of time,” the New York Times reports.
“Panicked Republicans question whether Mr. Trump will be able to unite the Republican-controlled Congress that would normally be expected to promote and promulgate his agenda, an internal crisis nearly unheard-of in a generation of American politics. On nearly every significant issue, Mr. Trump stands in opposition to Republican orthodoxy and his party’s policy prescriptions — the very ideas that Mr. Ryan has done more than anyone else to form, refine or promote over the last decade.”
