    This was always my problem with Paul Ryan fandom. He was best when he was trying to find compromises with the center-left on things like health care. He wasn't suited to be an executive or speaker where he needed an opinion on everything. He wasn't a generalist.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1302034759313428487 …

    Maybe the @billjamesonline observation that has stayed with me the longest in the most contexts is that successful organizations find what role people can do, not focus on what they can't. I always try to apply this to political coalitions & parties.

        I always thought that he was someone who should be in the room, asking hard questions about entitlements, because both parties have their head in the sand on this But he was never someone whose ideas, which were brutally unpopular, should have been adhered to

        For the record, social security I think is eminently fixable. Medicare is another thing entirely. I don't like that any questions on entitlements lump the two together as the same thing.
