quiet and seemingly muzzled during any exchange like this before. I have no idea what CNN was trying to accomplish -- if the goal was to allow Ryan to take over twenty minutes of uninhibited talking time to pitch his "healthcare" bill without any strong refutations from Tapper -- well then mission accomplished. Ryan was speaking in full paragraphs when normally Tapper allows a sentence or two before breaking in with a question.

Even with all of the free talking time Ryan was still quite obviously trying to polish a huge turd.
