If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

Here he is already making excuses,and they haven't even started discussing it yet.

Gee,I wonder if this is a hint on how it will go?

Well, to me Ryan seems embarrassed. I really don't think he believes it, but the word has come down from the PTB that this is the next abomination to be rammed down our throats, and after all, who are we?

I think Ryan is a true believer.

I think he truly believes his amnesty plan is not really amnesty.

The disconnect with Ryan is that he seems to have concluded that the public should be willing to give the politicians one more chance to get it right.

But there's no rational basis for that conclusion.

His trump card is, "If we fail after 5 years, we'll revoke everyone's legal status."

He's playing an extremely weak hand.
