The shadow
There is hope for the GOP.
Paul Ryan, a Mirage Candidate, Wages a Parallel Campaign
Even I would vote for Paul Ryan. Not saying I would or will. I just would be very pleased to have the choice.
I hate the idea that Hillary Clinton would be President by default.
Any campaign involving Trump or even Cruz would be an embarrassment at best. Trump because he is a blatant asshole and Cruz because he lacks the time in the saddle to justify his aims.
Ryan, on the other hand, has experience. He knows how to be a professional politician rather than a vanity candidate. He is also a true Middle West Republican. A model for the sub-species.
And I have to say that he looks the part. That chin. He has an abundance of sex appeal which has always lurked as an important quality for a candidate. Yes, even Jimmy Earl Carter had some of it.
I believe in the Two Party System.
It is foundational to our success as a nation.
For one half of the System to break down badly would be bad for the country. It would also be bad for the Democratic Party which needs a loyal opposition.
So.
It is an interesting campaign year.
