Republicans Chew Gum. Walk? Not So Much. - by Gail Collins
Tough times, concerned citizens.
For a while, it’s been easy forming opinions on current events. Since the election, all you’ve had to do is walk around shaking your head and moaning. But now things are getting more complicated. This week, the Democratic leaders and Donald Trump were besties. He made a big deal with “Chuck and Nancy” to keep the government running and pay for hurricane relief, ignoring the howls from his own alleged party.
Since the frustrated Republicans can’t get rid of Trump, they’re talking about deposing the House speaker, Paul Ryan. What do you think?
A. Hasta la vista, Paul!
B. God, the next person would probably be worse.
C. In my priorities of things to worry about, this is somewhere behind cancellation of “The Vampire Diaries.”
Let’s try to work some of this out. It’s a super-heavy news time, and all the stories no longer involve the president saying something incredibly insensitive. You’ve got to keep up on everything from hurricanes to Hillary Clinton’s book.
