Paul Ryan would end his speech with an appeal to the American people to put partisanship aside and: "Let's come together for the sake of our country." Is he really serious in thinking that after his own party said that its goal was "to make Barack Obama a one term president" that his opponents will now, as if by magic, put the vitriol and the divisiveness of the past four years behind them and follow him, a guy who on the occasion of the most important speech in his political life would produce a soliloquy that only a politically ignorant listener could love.
