I love Twitter. Real time takedowns of Paul Ryan as Joe Biden unleashed HELL and more on the poor twit. And most importantly - the damage has been done. One of the key and overriding things about Paul Ryan was the regard he was held inside the Beltway as one of the GOP's most serious thinkers.
There is a deeply held Beltway myth of Paul Ryan, Man of Big Ideas, and it dies hard. But, if there is a just god in the universe, on Thursday night, it died a bloody death, was hurled into a pit, doused with quicklime, buried without ceremony, and the ground above it salted and strewn with garlic so that it never rises again.
Joe Biden just beat the crap out of Ryan on the national stage. The general populace saw this man deliver one of the most atrocious Convention speeches ever and now has seen him as part of the Imperial tandem sans clothing. Romney is tied to Ryan - the GOP base loves him. Most of America probably sees him as a boy in over his head. Oops.
CONGRESSMAN Ryan has a budget named after him. The RYAN Budget is something that almost all the House Republicans voted for. Every Democrat should make that a priority over the next week: You voted for the Ryan Budget.You know, the one with the magical math in it.
Paul Ryan took a huge hit, the damage has been done.
Mitt Romney is next. Joe Biden just set up President Obama to hit that smary used car salesman over the head with Taxes, 47%, Medicare, and Lies...
Okay Mr. President, finish the sale to the American People.
