Ryan will probably make a push for entitlements this time in 2018

Right before the midterms? That's risky.

Yes. It will be interesting to see how the left finds a way to attack this though.

The same way the right did by attacking Obama's deficits after years of Reagan and the Bushes driving the debt through the roof.

Of course Democrats have Bill Clinton's legacy as proof they can balanc a budget. Republicans have Eisenhower for those who still remember him.

Luckily Ryan is Very Stupid, so he might take the bait.

Unfortunately the Democrats are also Pretty Stupid so they might try and do a bipartisan Smiley deal.

At this point, aren't they both equally irrelevant to now?

Fair enough.
