Paul Ryan, Donald Trump (Credit: Reuters/Carlos Barria) The day after Republicans pulled the plug on Trumpcare (or was it Ryancare?), the front-page headline of the tabloid New York Post asked: “Is There a Doctor in the House?” None were in sight, but there were plenty of quacks wielding butcher knives instead of scalpels as they turned the body politic into a bloody mess and left it gasping for life on the floor of the House. This is the Republican idea of governance? Based on the howls emitting from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, you might have thought they had amputated the president’s ego.
