From “Adding Some Prudence to Republican Principle,” David Wessel, WSJ:
“Republicans, he [Paul Ryan] said, need ‘more Jack Kemp,’ a reference to his mentor, the late former quarterback and GOP congressman who styled himself as a champion of the poor and social mobility. Mr. Ryan is clearly prepared to provide just that.”
Paul Ryan — champion of the poor? Someone’s delusional, and I don’t think it’s me.

Maybe the Republican Party is coming around…???
Maybe I’ll become Queen of England…
Watching Meet the Press yesterday, I almost choked on my breakfast when I heard Paul Ryan say with a straight face, “Immigration is a good thing.”
Those GOP strategy meetings last week must have simply encouraged Republicans to start saying the opposite of everything they have said for the past 20 years or so. Not a bad strategy in my opinion, but America already has a party for liberals.
Immigration is a good thing, if we get the right people — people with the education and skills we need, people with great ideas and $ to start businesses.
That sounds about right from Ryan’s perspective.
I felt a need to expand on my earlier comments today:
