But for what it’s worth, consider the portrait of America Mr. Ryan
painted last week, in a speech to the College Republicans. For it was,
in its own way, as out of touch with reality as the ranting of
Donald Trump (whom Mr. Ryan never mentioned).

Now, to be fair, Mr. Ryan claimed to be describing the future -
what will happen if Hillary Clinton wins - rather than the present.
But Mrs. Clinton is essentially proposing a center-left agenda,
an extension of the policies President Obama was able to implement
in his first two years, and it’s pretty clear that Mr. Ryan’s
remarks were intended as a picture of what all such policies do.
