A Second Quote of the Day

Ben Weingarten, blogging at PJ Media, on the disconnect between the conservative base and the GOP leadership.

Conservatives are upset with the Republican Party precisely because they feel there is not a dime’s worth of difference between a Paul Ryan House and a Nancy Pelosi House, and because Republicans run on conservative principles and govern according to Democratic priorities.

True dat. For as William F. Buckley famously said, "A conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling  'Stop!'" He describes Cruz, not Ryan.
