This guy might just stay in because he’s a bit delusional–From the Capitol Fax
During two morning radio interviews, an afternoon press conference and a television interview last night, Ryan continued to maintain that he had never said that there was nothing embarrassing in his legal files.
But that simply was not the truth. Ryan said “I don’t think so,” when asked
during a pre-primary radio interview whether the files contained embarrassing
material. He told a Daily Herald reporter “No,” when pressed with the same
question following a candidates’ debate. Before the primary, when news first
leaked that something very bad was in the files, Ryan cranked out thousands of
robocalls urging Republican voters to “ignore these false attacks.”
It may not be so much stupidity as chemically-induced bravado and short-sightedness. There is speculation that JACK! has a substance abuse problem, and to me this seems the best explanation of why a sexual compulsive would run as a social conservative.
Hell, if I were Jack! I’d be sexually compulsive, too.
