Paul Ryan's main goal - don't get in the way

Good column about the main thing that Paul Ryan wants to accomplish this year as Speaker of the (Dysfunctional) House:

Paul Ryan's tricky balancing act is working - so far, anyway

Quote:

"Ryan’s single most important objective is to keep his House from doing anything over the course of the next eleven months that will make it less likely that a Republican wins the presidential race. Because if the GOP nominee prevails, with Congress still in Republican control they’ll be able to have anything and everything they want — tax cuts for the wealthy, slashing the safety net, more military spending, making abortion all but illegal, maybe another war or two, and yes, actually repealing Obamacare."

See what I underlined?  That's the problem.  We need to be very, very wary.
