New Slogan for Ryan as Veep: "Paul Ryan--The brains of Dan Quayle, the compassion of Dick Cheney"

I think this sums his vice presidential qualities, though I also thought "Paul Ryan--A Spiro Agnew for the 21st Century" also captured the candidate's essence.

I am sure there could be other good slogans.

I'm not sure Dan Quayle was ever as extreme as Ryan is, though son Ben certainly is, and Cheney, to his credit, at least supports marriage equality.
