You might say that Ryan was born a generation too late. Instead, he made it to the summit of the Republican Party when the rank-and-file turned on everything he claimed to stand for. Today, I don’t think there’s a single elected Republican who can say that. I’ll admit I’ve got a soft spot for Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, because he’s smart and sane and clearly detests Trump. Knowing what you do about the president’s character, do you think this is at all likely?
