With the battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton ramping up, getting more personal and pretty nasty on at least one side, the week wound up laying bare some landmines facing both major candidates.
For Nubbs, the goings on at Trump U. are a lot more serious than he's admitting. Bilking vulnerable people out of tens of thousands of dollars they could not afford in exchange for information of dubious worth is not good business. It's predatory.
For Hillary, her email crisis is the gift that keeps on giving.
These are topics for many future discussions. But something happened this week that to me was both saddening and chilling. And it made me lose respect for someone of whom I thought a great deal.
I don't usually agree with his policies, but House Speaker Paul Ryan was a man who I held above most politicians.

| So you thought I was the one politician you could trust to uphold principle, stand up for American ideals, and support like-minded conservatives. That's pretty funny. |
Paul Ryan was a man of beliefs and someone who lived by them...until yesterday.
Simultaneously to Nubbs publicly lambasting the judge in the Trump U. class action suit for bias because he's a Mexican, Mr. Ryan endorsed him.
Paul Ryan, man of integrity, endorsed a raging bigot simply because he's the GOP nominee.
Where's your integrity now, Paul Ryan?
Nubbs has even played you, and you've sold the country down the river.
You, a man of principle, giving your support to a nominee who behaves like a psychopathic bully-- someone who could literally destroy the world if he gets too pissed off. WTF, Paul Ryan?
Look, if we can't trust our most-principled leaders to do the right thing for our country, call demagoguery and bigotry what it is, and rise above party politics, we're on our way down. And we'll drag the rest of the world down with us.
I'm ashamed of you, Paul Ryan.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
