Paul Ryan has put himself in an impossible position.After withholding his support for Donald Trump for weeks, the speaker of the House endorsed him at the exact moment many others were stepping away.Ryan endorsed Trump in his hometown newspaper just days before unveiling his own vision of what the Republican Party platform could look like in an effort to bring the presumptive nominee on board and in line with congressional republicans who will all be running their own races.

This post originally appeared on Slate.An IT problem has never escalated faster than the president s Rose Garden speech Monday addressing the problems with Healthcare.gov. He could no longer outsource responding to user complaints. At first, the White House had said the headaches signing people up for health care coverage were just technical glitches, but now the sheer number of those glitches defies that explanation. Reporting about deeper systemic problems suggest that fixes will not come quickly. As my colleague Matthew Yglesias explains, adding more bodies to the problem adds more complexity, which may exacerbate the problem.

But almost a week after the election, it is now becoming clear just how lopsided President Obama s victory was in some cities: in dozens of urban precincts, Mitt Romney earned literally zero votes.The Phildadelphia Inquirer reported today that, in 59 precincts in inner-city Philadelphia, the GOP nominee received not a single vote.
