Politico’s Arena asked whether Paul Ryan will help Mitt Romney in the polls. My response?
For most voters, the election is still just beginning.
In the coming weeks and months, Americans will learn the facts about how the Romney-Ryan budget would end Medicare as we know it, privatize Social Security, gut Medicaid and raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans – all to pay for more tax breaks for the already-rich AND raise the deficit.
Ryan certainly helps Romney with his unenthusiastic base. But it will hurt him with mainstream voters, just like the Romney-Ryan plan will hurt America.
