Asked by Chris Wallace whether his experience as Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate made him think differently about what it would take to be on the trail for two years as a presidential candidate. Instead of deflecting the question, Ryan went on at length about what a positive experience it was to be a national candidate.
“Actually, I enjoyed the experience,” Ryan said. “It made it more realistic in my mind.”
He said he and his wife Janna were talking about this the other day. “We look back at it as a very positive experience. We actually enjoyed it. We got to meet hundreds of thousands of people who care so much about their country. We learned a lot, just about the greatness of this country. How hard-working people want to get ahead and make a difference. So I actually found it a very pleasant exercise to be candid with you.”
