..he’s a politician—quick thinking and the ability to respond to rapidly changing circumstances is an essential part of the job

A bunch of us would swing by Turkey Hill (central PA’s Wawa) before away basketball games. Consumed on the bus on the way to the games:

- Half gallon of Turkey Hill Iced Tea (read: brown sugar water that would give flies diabetes)

Exactly! His desire to invest in infrastructure was far and away his best policy proposal during the campaign. Why the fuck would he cut here? Just kidding, I now understand why.

I’m aware Senator Hatch is after Speaker Ryan. But I doubt Paul Ryan gets caught in this. He’s much more pragmatic and clever (and less brazen) than Trump.
