Sometimes people don’t have ulterior motives. Sometimes people mean what they say. Sometimes people hold good values and make decisions on that basis. Sometimes these people are politicians.
I think Paul Ryan is such a person. He says he’s leaving office to spend time with his family, to be an onsite Dad. Why can’t people just accept that? Instead, pundits are speculating that the REAL reason is based on political considerations. Often, when politicians say they are resigning “to spend more time with my family,” we all know that’s not the real reason. But sometimes it is. With Ryan, I believe it is.
The guy wants to be a Dad. He talked about that before becoming Speaker, and he’s talking about it again. That’s a good thing to want to be, and a good example to set.
