why you oughta believe Paul Ryan
If we go ahead and assume that Paul Ryan would really want to be one of those “Presidents”…
… and, as evidence, we might point to the fact that he tried to be vice-president four years ago…
you have to know that the way to not do so is to win out in a brokered and bitterly divided convention, of modern historical anomaly, where he wasn’t even an option going in…
… hell. Better to be the Republican vice president this time around, coming out of that thicket. See Roosevelt, circa 1920.
Something like the luck Mitt Romney had in not winning the nomination in 2008, even if 2012 didn’t work out for him either.
