2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe choice is clear. Elect Mitt and we get Paul Ryan's disastrous budget rammed thru Congress.
Now, we are truly at an inflection point, between the Barack Obama and Paul Ryan approaches to government, National Review editor Rich Lowry wrote recently, treating the elevation of the chairman of the House Budget Committee over the presidential nominee as his partys standard-bearer as so obvious it requires no explanation. We dont need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget, says anti-tax enforcer Grover Norquist. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. In any case, Romney has shown no inclination to challenge Ryan, praising him fulsomely and even promising him, according to The Weekly Standards Stephen Hayes, hed enact Ryans plan in the first 100 days. Republicans envision an administration in which Romney has relegated himself to a kind of head-of-state role, at least domestically, with Ryan as the actual head of government.

It doesn't matter who they chose, because he's going to be a rubber stamp for a Republican Congress.
