Rmoney is running on his 'business' background, so he picked someone that doubles down on trickle down? My mind is still blown over this choice. I would have bet hard cold cash against Ryan over someone who can shore up areas where Rmoney has even failed his own base (and trickle down is the one thing they do approve of).

Its Palin 2.0 - red meat to shore up the base that he should have had by default. Here's hoping history repeats itself on that strategy.
