[Paul Ryan did his job. He was supposed to lose to that brain dead hack, so he did. That year the GOP was the designated loser. The uniparty always has a plan and what we see is just theater performance ... until Trump showed up.]

That’s giving Ryan credit where credit isn’t due. He was in the VP slot because he wanted a shot at the presidency. He wanted to beat Biden. But he lacked the political antenna to see that he was losing the debate, and losing badly. Because debates aren’t about policy - they’re about who can lie most convincingly in a relaxed and confident manner. Biden was leagues ahead in that respect. In a just world, that would mean he not only lost the debate in the sense of having voters turn against the Obama campaign, but was dropped from the ticket due to the sheer egregiousness of his deceit, ending his political career right there and then. Instead, he got an opportunity to be the oldest candidate to win the White House ever.

Paul Ryan is an autistic personality who could only win inside his district. The tax cut he designed cost the GOP its House majority. He’s a freak of nature, a guy with no political instincts whatsoever who became Speaker because he was the most inoffensive guy running for the spot. And it was because of this lack of political instincts that he’s no longer even Minority Leader. He jumped before he was pushed.

Paul Ryan had married into a big Dem family.

There's an older photo from the beginning of President Trump's first term, showing him at his desk and Ryan leaning over his shoulder from behind.

The look on Ryan's face is "we're going to stab you in the back and you poor simpleton, you'll never see it coming."

Looking forward to seeing Ryan in Gitmo with the rest of the Dems.
