Matt Lauer asked Paul Ryan who would win the Wisconsin vs. Ohio State football game on November 17,
Lauer: "I would like you to tell the people of Ohio who's going to win that game."
Ryan: "They spoiled us last year. We spoiled them the year before--Jane and I were at that game. It really depends on who has the better record is going to lose, because that's what happens."
Lauer: "Who's going to win the game, congressman? Tell the people of Ohio who's going to win the game."
Ryan: "It always depends on who's got the better record. It's up in Camp Randall [Stadium] this year. It's up in Madison this year. Home field advantage works well. But if we're doing better, they'll beat us, and if they have a better record, then we'll beat them. That's always how it goes between the Badgers and the Buckeyes. How's that for an answer?"
Lauer: "It's a terrible answer. It's OK, I'm out of time--you're lucky."![]()
Spoken like a true politician, not a policy maker, not a leader...
