and governor romney at 45 percent. tell me what you will. harry reid foiled a sal vo about governor romney s taxes. harry reid won a campaign in 2010 against sharon angle and he believes that there are no limitts . given paul ryan and the prevalence of africa-american. i believe the aggressiveness of reedd puts nevada and incred the southwest more firmly in the democratic camp. what appeal does ryan have. the older voters and a lot of the people retiring and look at men pennsylvania and florida and if medicare is the issue, there will be questions. and real quick.
as i mentioned earlier, he wants to talk about the economy. that is the strongest issue here. that is what people care about. if obama has a vulnerability, it s on economy and not on medicare. heather: and biggest flash pointed in the entire ryan plan even massachusetts governor mitt romney has cut some distance from it. how do you expect him to reacted moving forward, governor romney? governor romney is going to say, look, we have tough choices to make as voters. and we saw with scott walker and mitch daniels, voters are willing to make tough choices as long as you give them a plan and explain it in how it s going to make america better in the future. the goal at the end of the day, the goal is future and getting americans back to work. in a lot of ways it ties into the economy and that will be trick for the romney-ryan ticket moving forward. look at the numbers you just
dollars on the backs of seniors. medicare will be in a death spiral. he didn t cut medicare, he stole $700 billion to fund obamacare. if any person in this entire debate has blood on their hands in regard to medicare, it s barack obama. he is the one that is destroying medicare. heather: so is medicare suddenly the name of the game on the political panel. let s bring in our political panel thank you both for joining us. thank you. so congressman frostly begin with you. is the ryan plan really a death spiral for seniors or is that a bit melodramatic? it may be a death spiral.eigw
romney-ryan ticket to say we wanted to preserve medicare for the future. president obama has no interest in doing that. if they can win this debate in moving forward and talk about the future on top of the present. then they push their ideas toward the economy they are going to win this election, but they cannot win this election without winning ohio and florida, two states with high population of seniors. that is something tha is weighing on back of their minds. heather: what about that messaging when it comes to explaining the changes in ryan plan when it comes to medicare, wouldn t paul ryan be a plus doing that? he can talk all he wants about it. seniors like medicare. that is what people are missing here. you ask seniors if they approve of medicare, if they think it s a great program. they want to have medicare and they say yes. anything that threatens that is a problem. i think the last thing in the world that romney wants to do is to explain paul ryan s plan.
put up on the screen. public doesn t want to change medicare. they likes medicare. they don t want to do what paul ryan wants. it s a very interesting sales job they are going to have. congressman frost, the key is for the ticketed to say anybody over 55 whatever plan we put forward, this does not affect you. going the same way is a failed way and america is going suffer. we have to move forward. we have to think about the future. heather: polling numbers whether medicare is good deal, 45% yes, and 30% no. thank you. win or lose, paul ryan is making history at at vice presidential candidate. how does he stack up against past candidate s choices. we ll take a look. questions. when you re caring for a loved one
