You know, I'm a Democrat, but I got to say that Paul Ryan gave a very civilized and good interview. He came off as a normal man who remains positive regardless of the results of the election. He still doesn't have my vote though lol
ye cuz you guys are partisan assholes who vote not based on policy, but party. and then you lose it when dickheads like trump flip the entire board on its head
This guy wants to destroy social security, slash medicare and medicaid and, supported the illegal Iraq war, therefor because of actual policies and not just words, Trump is better. This is from a Left wing POV, how democrats embrace Iraq War supporters is beyond me.
"Oh, golly gee darn. I just wish I could curse on TV so I could truly express how angry I am that Romney and I looked so stupid on national television."
They lost because they didn't come across as easy to get to know and approachable. I mean, until they became candidates, I never saw either of them be friendly and helpful towards ordinary people.
I just thought about this.. It sort of sucks that Mitt Romney is leaving Paul Ryan to talk to the media and answer these questions. Mitt Romney bailed out hasn't really spoke with anyone.. unless of course they are big donors.
I went through all the comments, and am amazed nobody picked on a teeny amusing tidbit. In his answer to the question on how HE would have run the campaign, Ryan starts off with,"Oh Gosh..." And then he realizes what he's about to say, and figures it would be spitting in Romney's face...so he pauses, does some verbal gymnastics, and ends up with "Campaign of Ideas", hoping nobody harps on the "Oh Gosh...". That was a very telling "Oh Gosh", lyin' Ryan. You need to practice harder.
When the Republicans win it's never becasue it's the will of the people. It's always becasue of gerrymandering or the system was rigged or the Russians tampered with the election or whatever. Can't you Democrats ever accept the fact that you don't win everytime? There is a reason you lost in 2016. Hillary Clinton did not deliver a winning message.
Dude, in a country of 330 million, a few million votes apart is a close election. Let me put in percentages: Obama got 51 percent, Romney 47. That’s not close? Lastly, without L.A. and NYC, Democrats would never win a presidential election.
Reasons you lost. 1. You ran on the economy when everyone blamed Bush for the economy. 2. You insisted on prioritizing corporate interests, after Bush showed that stratey didn't work.
so much of the media said that Obama won the middle class. That is a bogus idea. If you look at the map, the middle class voted overwhelmingly for Mitt Romney. Obama won the vote of the urban dweller, poor, and the very rich. This just goes to show that the middle class is, indeed, shrinking.
RYAN's the clear fore-runner for the GOP in 2016? What a difference a year makes-nobody's talking about him. Besides, Ryan did so great in the election that the last 2 weeks they had him visiting little towns of 20,000 people-they didn't let him near the big cities. The Romney campaign was trying to hide Ryan, LOL.
"The polling, the data, all the smart people who watch this stuff - they had a pretty optimistic view on the night". Seriously, Paul? Two words: Nate Silver.
Finally, I was just making the point before when I was under the impression, you were a Republican, that Ron Paul, should be elected as the next presidential Republican candidate to have any chance at winning in 2016, and not telling you how to vote. Moreover, I have never stepped foot into America. However, I did study American politics in high school and so I pay close attention to American politics and the political spectrum as it can effect both legislators in Australia, and our economy.
Maybe Texas will finally follow thru with their pathetic secession threats and actually leave - GOOD RIDDANCE, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Texans would come back begging for re-admission to the union in less than 2 weeks when they quickly realize what a huge mistake they made.
Im a Retired Federal Marshall..what were you saying about putting a bullit in someones head?...Do you want to go to jail? after Newtown we are not going to put up with your threats!...You are falling into a trap you are not going to bullshit you way out of....Do you have automatic weapons...or plan on harming anyone or your self?...answer my question.!
Unfortunately, seniors did vote for them. About the only ones. It is amazing how the Republicans keep trying to sabotage Social Security and Medicare year after year, yet white seniors keep voting for them year after year. It's like the minorities and young people have to save the white seniors from themselves.
Ron Paul has about as much chance to win the presidency as Allen West. Give us a break on the Ron Paul crap. Voting him in would just be handing the White house over to the Koch brothers. Wake up!
@@cruzloera4931hold on just stop dude. Stop it right now. We were not in a bad place in 2016. The only reason Trump won is because he told people everything they wanted to hear. He decided he wanted to scrap with china over nothing and they intentionally unleashed covid on the entire world because of Trump although they deny it. We can’t have lunatics like him in charge of the USA. What’s he going to wake up one morning in a bad mood and go and attack some country he doesn’t like? The republicans don’t care about the average man or small businesses that’s their MO. The only reason Trump may win in 24 is because of malcontents in society like you who feel a certain way without cause. The inflation you are all mad about is the result of Trump not Obama or Biden so next time a cart of groceries costs you $400 blame him. A good man could have turned this around had they been the republican nominee in 16 instead of Trump
We are not in trouble because we don't pay enough in taxes. In fact if every dollar made in the us was paid in taxes, we would still be in debt. No, the problem is the government spends too much. We have to cut and yes taxes will have to be raises, but across the board, not just for the rich. I wish all the fools who think the rich paying more taxes would help would stop and take a basic course on economics and then they would know that would not work.
Just because I'm not Republican doesn't mean I can't be for a Republican president. I'm not Democratic either. I'm for whoever can do our country the most justice, which certainly isn't Obama. I know Mitt wouldn't be our lord and savior (definitely not), but he'd be a huge step-up from what we have now.
Coming from a family in which virtually every generation has served in the military, I can tell you that saying he doesn't care about veterans simply is not true. He was talking about how to win an election, not on who his policies will help and hurt. I agree with most of Romney's comments on that matter. There is no use trying to convince a liberal Democrat to vote Republican, just like there is no use trying to get a conservative Republican to vote Democrat.
Paul Ryan is DONE. Please let's stop pretending he has any kind of political future. Remember when Sarah Palin was "the future of the Republican Party". See how that turned out...
I do not agree with all of Obama's policies....but Romney did not offer any suggestions or options that appealed to me....Romney still wanted to continue the patriot act and Romney did not suggest us getting out of Afghanistan quicker than Obama has proposed.
The former Speaker Ryan has been served as Governing leadership for very longtime and accumulated much of leadership experiences. I feel sorry about that why he decided not campaign his continued governing leadership to serve our country America’s greatness again. I believe that he is absolutely capable to govern for sure. I wish him and his family the very best always. I remember that the former President Bush said that listening to others what we don’t know to understand what we don’t know. I guess that makes sense. Let’s forgive each other this time and unite together again by our generosity forgiveness and kindness nature toward each other’s service and mistakes, reunite together again by our getting important things done quickly together and govern by our country America’s own established principles afterward together again.
That's true. People with Parkinson's disease or other bad stuff (I know an accountant who cannot work due to that condition) deserved to starve to death according to Romney & Ryan.
I, may be a proud Australia citizen and you may argue I have no right to comment about American Politics. However on the contrary. I also have a vested interest in American politics as it has an inherent influence on the world economy thus; linking my vested interest to American politics. Furthermore, if I was an American citizen than I would be a conservative Democrat and therefore would like to question you about your false allegation made against President Obama on fraud?
I voted for Obama last month. While I hate Hillary, if she had been the Democratic nominee in 2012 I would STILL have voted for her over Romney & Ryan. Chances are I will vote Democratic again in 2016, as I cannot see the Republicans in a mere four years getting away from their insane, right-wing-radical ideas. I just don't. Maybe by 2020 they might though. But the Republicans have an awful lot of fence-mending before I can ever stomach them again.
sorry ryan. mccain is not from wyoming. and it does not matter. if wyoming was happy with your performance, they would have gone against the trend and voted republican.
Where did you get John Fund out of this? Wtf? You haven't even talked about anything I just said. And BTW, if you live in America, just say so already. Otherwise, don't tell me how I should live.
I respect Paul Ryan for getting out of politics when he did. I disagree with him on virtually everything politically, but this man saw the writing on the wall and DIPPED when he realized how corrupt his party was becoming. Mad props to him for having the balls to stand up and walk out on Trump.
Buyer beware of the A. R.M, so many buyers lose, or have lost their property,due to ,Adjustable Rate Mortgages!!!

Only divided if we chose it to be so. I've been listening to Obama and his critics since 07. He is not nearly as divisive as his critics are. Obama bashers calling O divisive, need to look in the mirror.

Paul Ryan did pretty well in the first two years of the Trump Administration. He did about as well as one could have hoped for..

Hello person from 10 years ago
I just thought about this.. It sort of sucks that Mitt Romney is leaving Paul Ryan to talk to the media and answer these questions. Mitt Romney bailed out hasn't really spoke with anyone.. unless of course they are big donors.
Those interviews are like putting salt on wounds...
Where is Paul Ryan today ??
His policies weren't popular
I went through all the comments, and am amazed nobody picked on a teeny amusing tidbit.
In his answer to the question on how HE would have run the campaign, Ryan starts off with,"Oh Gosh..."
And then he realizes what he's about to say, and figures it would be spitting in Romney's face...so he pauses, does some verbal gymnastics, and ends up with "Campaign of Ideas", hoping nobody harps on the "Oh Gosh...".
That was a very telling "Oh Gosh", lyin' Ryan. You need to practice harder.
Close Election What Planet Were You On? And The Only Reason The Teapubicans kept The House Is Very Good Gerrymandering
Typical Democrat excuses.

"The smart people who watch this stuff" are you kidding me?

Hillary Clinton 99% chance of winning, according to the Huff & Puff (Huffington Post) and MSNBC
"oh, gosh!" haha now he has plenty of time to wash clean pots and pans in soup kitchens

That's some beautiful hypocrisy. "The parties should work together" immediately followed by "I won't raise taxes for anything"
"The polling, the data, all the smart people who watch this stuff - they had a pretty optimistic view on the night". Seriously, Paul? Two words: Nate Silver.
Nate silver proved he’s a hack in 2016
Romney was decimating Obama amongst independent voters in all the polls. Problem was lack of enthusiasm.
He lost his home state. They know him better than anyone .
Finally, I was just making the point before when I was under the impression, you were a Republican, that Ron Paul, should be elected as the next presidential Republican candidate to have any chance at winning in 2016, and not telling you how to vote.

I don't trust Ryan at all.
His new Pro-Amnesty position, his raising of the debt ceiling, his shifty eyes and glibness.
The GOP needs a Ronald Reagan.
I kinda wish they'd won because then there'd be no Trump
They lost because gay rights people vote, people who want marijuana reform vote, and the poor/working class vote!
LOL !!!! I am not American !!! I just live here and I love it !!!
How smooth must be the language of a politician when they can make right look wrong & wrong look right. - Native American proverb
Is this what happens when Burt Ward grows up to be a politician.
One simple reason: romney can't connect to voters the way reagan and Clinton did
The fact is, Romney was so hateful and so repulsive that even guys like me voted for Obama.
Ryan is no Ronald Reagan, that's for sure.
Maybe Texas will finally follow thru with their pathetic secession threats and actually leave - GOOD RIDDANCE, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Texans would come back begging for re-admission to the union in less than 2 weeks when they quickly realize what a huge mistake they made.
Yes let them put Paul Lipless Ryan in 4 years. That will be another Democratic win. Reps never learn.
