      1. Marco Rubio called Donald Trump a "con artist" but in truth Paul Ryan is an even bigger con artist than Trump.

      2. Trump is a down market con artist, Ryan an upscale one. Trump targets white working class, Ryan centrist elites.

      3. There's a certain type of establishment type (conservative, centrist or liberal) very hungry for "reasonable" "policy oriented" GOP

      4. Ryan's con is that he's a policy wonk who doesn't just froth against Democrats but knows how to budget & cares about governance.

      5. Ryan's actual policies are usual GOP plutocracy (tax cuts for rich at expense of service to ordinary citizens). But he's polite.

      6. Ryan even conned the con. He convinced Trump that he knew how to pass Obamacare repeal. A sucker born every minute.

      7. Tangentially: big mistake of Clinton campaign was to contrast "reasonable" Ryan & "unfit" Trump. Should have tied Trump to Ryan.

          I think Clinton was assuming she'd have to work with Ryan.

          Clinton's mistake? It's not more than Trump's genius. The American people made chose, they owned the situation.

          This was obvious at the time and misjudgments like this make me wonder about HRC competence
