It is a fair question (one I answer with yes, I would trust him to do a better job than any of the other three major party candidates). Have they asked the same about Biden?
Yes - have they put Biden to this same level scrutiny, or even Obama himself? Compared to either of them Ryan has a much better resume' and record - certainly compared to Obama.
sure he could.
Shoots straight as an arrow...
Better question...Could running mate Ryan run the country as well as Obama? Answer: Hell yes.
Biden can run the Country? Sir you hit the nail on the head.
Paul Ryan could run this country far better than that interminable jackass Plugs Biden.
After nearly four years of Biden The Slow mumbling and bumbling through each day, they really deign to ask this question. Simply amazing.
And what in the world could Joe Biden run, except his mouth? No media outlet asked that burning question in ‘08 when he was selected to run with the First Dictator. Were he ever elevated to the presidency, Biden would probably start WWIII by playing with the red phone.
Could Biden find his way to the WH bathroom by himself??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is pathetic, but what do you expect from a communist POS!
———Polls show it’s the one that voters care most about in a vice presidential pick.———
There we have it. The reason McCain lost was because he chose a VP deemed unworthy of running the country if he died.
YES. Look at the idiot in the WH and his "room temp IQ" VP for comparison. Anybody, even a blind, hunchback midget with a club foot could do a better job than they are doing.
Ryan has a better concept of government than The One whose claim to executive experience was his running his own presidential campaign, after just 2 years in the US Senate.
The One lowered the bar so low that it is difficult for Dems to accuse anyone of not having the experience and knowledge to be president.
Hmmmm...wonder if this brain surgeon asked the same about the current President 4 years ago.....hmmmm....if I was a betting man...i know how I would bet on this one.....
It is laughable. They are trying so hard to lift up Biden to the level of Paul Ryan that they even have someone at "Thy Black Man" writing an editorial that excuses Joe's "chains" comment by saying it was a "well-scripted, thought through political set piece".
Link to FR thread: Dump Joe Biden Chains Talk, Just That. Talk.
Vice presidents are famous for playing only a small role in government beyond standing ready for the worst. But even in the absence of disaster striking the president, the job can be a staircase to the world's most powerful post. Based on history, statistician Nate Silver of The New York Times gives Ryan a one-in-three chance of winning an election to become president someday - if he and Romney can win in November...Having looked at the link, IMHO Nate Silver put his thumb on the scale by selecting a particular starting point for his data set which is probably congenial to the thesis that VPs become presidents. He also double-counts two-term VPs by counting the number of times they got elected VP, not just the fact that they were elected VP.News flash! Sitting VPs don’t get elected POTUS unless their patron with whom they first got elected to national office is a big deal. Truman’s election was really another(!) FDR win, GHWB’s election was really a third Ronald Reagan win, and LBJ’s win was really a second JFK win.
Had Eisenhower fully a appreciated that fact, he might have risked a bit of his prestige trying to get Nixon elected in 1960 - which Eisenhower never did. That could easily have changed history distinctly.
Hmmm, kinda makes me wonder if the Obama machine could pull off a Romney tax revelation forcing him to withdraw, and then Ryan decides to draft Sarah Palin.
Now I have faith in a proper leadership for the country.
Can anyone imagine the fireworks erupting at the Communist Party USA headquarters if even a fraction of this was possible?
Ryan/Palin 2012
Since when do we elect a president to “run the country? Did the author ever read the constitution?

Pay no attention to the commie Milwaukee rag - they really wanted to put an ‘i’ in and make it “ruin”.
