Meanwhile, you find almost equally dark visions, just as much at odds with
reality, among establishment Republicans, people like Paul Ryan, speaker
of the House.
Mr. Ryan is, of course, a media darling. He doesn’t really command strong
support from his own party’s base; his prominence comes, instead, from
a press corps that decided years ago that he was the archetype of serious,
honest conservatism, and clings to that story no matter how many times
the obvious fraudulence and cruelty of his proposals are pointed out. If
the past is any indication, he will quickly be forgiven for his moral
spinelessness in this election, his unwillingness to break with Mr. Trump -
even to condemn him for questioning the legitimacy of the vote - no matter
how grotesque the G.O.P. nominee’s behavior becomes.
