Paul Ryan declares his candidacy and makes a few public appearances, basically mentioning Reagan several hundred times and saying phrases like Morning In America and Happy Warrior. After he gets a mixture of yawns and disgust from his own side, he gives up.

Everyone goes through a stage of trying things to see if they will work. I did a lot of that crap between age 13 and 25. After 25, I was able to generalize from those failures. When I got an impulse to try something new, I could
predict accurately whether it would work or not. I didn't need to spend weeks or months miserably failing.
How come these two dudes are still unable to generalize and predict at age 45 and 67 respectively? What's wrong with them?

Later thought: There is a good side here. In previous years the Repoof cheerleaders were unwilling to yawn and puke at poor candidates. All candidates were welcome, as per (yet again) Reagan's 11th commandment. Now it appears that the cheerleaders have finally grown tired of empty Reaganolatry, and have started to provide error-correction signals to shitty candidates.
