Ugh. Maybe he should at least get a job at like Sonic for the summer or something, so he would have had even a little bit of experience working in private industry.

LOL!

Romney of 2016 just in case Romney himself doesn't run.

This is going to have the same confusion of 'Paul' for low information voters that it did before, of course.

#StandWithRand is going to prove to have been a really good idea, since there isn't (yet) another 'Rand' running..

Ryan's definitely got the national exposure due to being the Vice Presidential candidate in 2012. Not sure whether this is done just to keep him in the limelight or he's serious, but he'd be tied to Romney way too much. Also, you'd just have to replay the debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden to see how he works in debates.

Romney said in interviews he's done with politics.

Ryan isn't my first choice and I won't be voting for him in a primary, but if he was to be the nominee I will vote for him. I think he would do at least some good as president.

Ryan will not be the nominee. This is a 3 horse race - Rand, Rubio and Christie.

I would support Rand.

Otherwise probably go Libertarian.

Such as adding to the deficit, voting for NCLB, bailing out corporatists, intruding on people's privacy, and advocating for war.

Yeah, some good he would do.

Ryan is a neo-conservative.

One thing you can say about the neo-cons, they love to have as many candidates as possible in Presidential races.

So the elites and Fascist corporations are setting the candidate field for 2016. Don't you find the timing a bit usually that within 48 hours, the establishment mouthpieces are conditioning the dumbass voters? Of course the article was carried by all the major 4th branch of government-corporate propaganda Media. They even invite Ann Romney on their shows to spew the 'electioneering 2013-2016'. A wife of a two bit criminal elite has say in 2016 politics? More Idiocracy Gong Show Politics

Ann Romney this morning gave her first solo interview since the November election, weighing in on the recent scandals hitting the White House, as well as 2016 presidential politics, saying she and husband Mitt Romney are “very partial” to his former running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

“There are some great candidates out there and I think Mitt and I always are very, very partial to Paul Ryan, but we don’t even know if he’s going to run. But there are some good candidates,” Romney said on CBS News’ “This Morning.”

Go ahead, Ryan.

Rand could brutally expose him in the first debate.

Assuming the moderators don't shut Paul out as was with his father a few times.

That Paul Ryan dude looks Presidential just for the way he moves his hands:

If it comes down to Rand Paul or Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and the GOP establishment will be trying to pass that off as Reaganesque.

Bailouts, foreign aid to Al Qaeda, unbalanced budgets, and military intervention in Libya is very Reaganesque.
