Even though Ryan's old plan would leave it untouched for current seniors, it puts them on the defensive having to explain the minutiae of the plan, while Democrats get to just scream "they're getting rid of Medicare!" All those "Keep your government hands off my Medicare" people can be convinced it's the Republicans who are now coming after their Medicare. This will be the biggest blunder for the GOP and will cost them the midterm.

..And things like this is why 2018 is likely to be a shellacking for the GOP, at least at the House and state level. Donald, aka the guy who ran as a populist, working with Republicans to implement many of their anti-populist plans is going to look awful.

Which is why it's puzzling looking at Ryan act all giddy, thinking he has a mandate to enact his Ayn Rand vision of America. If Trump rolls over like some kind of pussy and lets Ryan run the show, he will have betrayed all those working class folks who voted for him. How does he think he'll win reelection?
