The new house speaker sums it up nicely.
Any other country he'd be a padded cell, in America, he's 2nd in line for the Presidency.
I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the pick.
It signals that the Republican Party will allow itself to be held hostage by the Trump wing.
There is a lot of time between now and the next election, so lots of things could happen, but unless something very dramatic happens, I would have to bet on Trump as our once and future President.
I find myself so often in agreement with Bill Maher. In a recent monologue, he described his observation that "truth" is just no longer part of what drives the American voter, with examples on both left and right. In a world where truth doesn't matter, the one who makes the most appealing lies will win, and that's Trump.
