Very Little 2016 Buzz for Ryan

“Not so long ago, a Paul Ryan visit to Iowa would have set off bells and whistles among the Republican activists who hold sway in the nation’s first voting state. Now, it merits merely a ripple of mild interest,” according to Real Clear Politics.

“Among many Iowa conservatives, there is a prevailing sense that Ryan did himself no long-term favors in the 2012 contest, and there is little palpable excitement over his return to the Hawkeye State. Meanwhile, a host of other prospective 2016 White House GOP hopefuls seemed to be generating more traction there.”
