Does anyone even know what Paul Ryan’s budget is?
During the 2012 vice-presidential debate, Paul Ryan had more than an hour of primetime television to explain his vaunted budget and why it would be so wonderful for America if it was enacted, yet all he did was stand there the whole time and let John Biden throw pies in his face. No wonder the Romney/Ryan ticket couldn’t even win Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin.
Only two candidates have the hutzpah to counter effectively with opponents in debates. Not Paul Ryan, not Jeb Bush, not Romney (most cowardly of them all), not Santorum, not walker, not Pence, not Kasich, and not Perry. Some others have the intellectual capacity such as Jindal & Rubio but lack forcefulness.
So that leaves 2 others who can get in your face and are never afraid to present an EFFECTIVE counterpoint. Christy and Cruz. But Christy has too many issues I consider as too liberal for my taste. I am hoping it will be Cruz versus Hillary in final debates. A champion debater from Harvard versus “what difference does it make” Hilda, the expert at making a fast buck in options trading.
