Paul Ryan and Maxine Waters

I know Ryan is weak.
I know he cow tows
I know he prob wants a media or lobbyist job after retiring.
But, this thing with Trump and Waters has gone far enuf.
Ryan as Speaker has a responsibility to defend all House members from such attacks.
Ryan needs to publicly, or at least privately, tell Trump to knock it off.
It’s beyond the pale for a Prez and a leading member of the House.

They know what and who Trump is more than any of us.
It’s how they respond to him that will set their legacy in the history books.
Turning a blind eye for tax cuts, deregulation, and conservative judges is no longer a good excuse.

all of these people are willing to close their eyes and ears to everything. There's no accountability and certainly no ethical line they will not cross. Ryan's hoping to get out of DC alive. He could care less about who the Trumpster trashes.
