Weird Week in (Internet) Politics: What Ryan’s Hat Was Hiding, Kasich Beard, Libertarians Pick Johnson

This week, John Kasich grew a beard. Speaker Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Donald Trump was hiding in plain sight. Here is everything you need to know about the Libertarian Convention and how it’s playing out.

A lot has changed since Kasich dropped out. For example, he now has a beard. Which is probably full of crumbs.
