Shallow thinkers shouldn't be LOLing around a forum .it is not becoming. And I don't know what your "disqualify" comment is about disqualify for what? And it wasn't just ONE answer in ONE debate - it was Paul Ryan's biggest moment, and he fed the big lie that turned the election more than any other lie - that BUSH and REPUBLICANS were the problem with the economy. The percentage of people who believe that is almost exactly the percentage of people who voted Obama ..ON THE DING DONG NOSE.
So I stand by my very correct assertion that Ryan and Romney blew the debate about what liberalism would do, because our economy was already proof positive of that in 2012. But they were not man enough to try and fight that fight. They thought they could niche their way to 270 electoral votes simply because Obama was a "nice guy who was over his head" when it came to fixing Bush problems.
That debate had nothing to do with the election loss. Zero.
