That's exactly what I was thinking. What a little punk Ryan is--to believe that he can try to cover for Romney's disgraceful release of only two years of tax returns.

Ryan will be destroyed. What a terrible career move for Ryan. He's hitching his wagon to a large, destructive asteroid--not a star--and it's all going to come crashing down on him.

Ryan can't save this campaign. He can't save Romney. He can't stop Romney from being an unrelatable fool with whom most Americans don't connect. Ryan may excite the 20 percent of radical wingnuts out there, but he offends everyone else. The party wingnuts would have shown up to vote against Obama anyway. It's the Independents that decide it, and Ryan's budget offends many Republicans and most Indies.

Romney will lose in November and Ryan will be forever tarnished because he will always be associated with this train-wreck campaign.

And this supposed to satisfy everyone demanding that Romney release his taxes? liberal N proud Aug 2012 #1
