I think people are over-reading the situation. Ryan doesn't have to bone up on facts and figures, he has that already at hand, all he has to do is harken back to his rural Wisconsin roots and present his points in the language of common sense. Let Plugs emote all he wants, it doesn't make him right, and it opens him up for a perfect smackdown..."I admire the Vice Presidents passionate defense of yadda yadda yadda but in this case his emphasis on blah blah blah is entirely misplaced and where compassion is really needed is for working Americans who the Obama-Biden Administration keeps burdening with regulations and inflationary polices, and it will get worse for the middle class when their tax increases take effect.", stuff like that... I think Ryan can rope-a-dope a dope and land several knockdowns.
