Have never been particularly impressed with Paul Ryan and was never impressed with Eric Cantor. They both come across like stiff, ridgid senior auditors from the IRS. We need a speaker who is at least somewhat personable and definitely an effective communicator.
We haven’t had that since Newt Gingrich and he did manage to accomplish some things through persuasion and being able to speak out effectively on the issues. About all we’ve had since is a bunch of insider players with near zero skill as effective public spokesmen. Ryan looks like more of the same.
“We haven’t had that since Newt Gingrich and he did manage to accomplish some things through persuasion and being able to speak out effectively on the issues”
Gingrich is the only effective GOP Speaker in 100 years.
He comes from the South, which is no coincidence.
No more Northerners need apply.
