Mistake

I thought choosing Paul Ryan for VP candidate was a mistake. And I don't think he'd make a good presidential candidate, in the sense that I don't think he improves the GOP's chance of winning an election. (I also don't think he'd make a good president for our country's sake either, obviously.) People overlook that his unfavorables are very strong, unlike Romney's. Romney had large unfavorability numbers, but they faded a lot once he became the candidate of choice because people merely sort of didn't like him; they didn't strongly dislike him. But people strongly dislike Ryan already. It's actually possible that Ryan couldn't win his home state of Wisconsin, which is often viewed as one of the swing states.
