The Future for Paul Ryan

Join in on the Morning Joe panel discussion that followed a report by NBC News political reporter Vaughn Hillyard from a town hall meeting in Janesville, Wisconsin, organized by high school students for Speaker Paul Ryan in his hometown. But Ryan declined to attend. Veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains: “Look it’s only anecdotal reporting that we just saw. It was good reporting, but the voices articulated at the town hall meeting that the speaker did not go to—that’s kind of a warning sign. That’s his hometown and it’s a coalition of youngsters, high school students who put that together. You would think that he would have gone, which lends credence to the rumors…that he may fold it up.” Watch the report here and listen to the conversation between host Joe Scarborough and Barnicle.
