This guy is a moron. Ryan was unqualified?!? How about the idiot sitting in the White House!
The "idiot sitting in the White House" is IN the White House. Ryan's never been anything more than budget chair; he's an good ideas guy but he's not lead successfully on pushing his plans through. That matters for someone coming from the House.
Paul Ryan was a very risky choice and I listed off why immediately on hearing he was picked. I was attacked on FR for being too negative.
I thought Ryan performed poorly on the stump (and likely said so on FR). He didn't connect, he didn't come across as warm and likeable. He was wonkish and scripted. He may have had good chemistry with Romney but that didn't come through the camera.
Losing two million voters vs. McCain suggests Romney should've "gone big" with a running mate. He could've used someone with foreign policy experience but someone who made the ticket something other than two white guys because those optics mattered to voters .
I think after Obama got elected the idea that anyone ever again would be deemed “unqualified” went out the window.
“This guy is a moron. Ryan was unqualified?!? How about the idiot sitting in the White House!”
My thoughts EXACTLY. The word “unqualified” lost all meaning when BHO was elected.
