Paul Ryan 2016: 12 Noteworthy Tweets About GOP Presidential Hopeful

The camp that wants Rep. Paul Ryan to run for president in 2016 has not yet ramped up its social media campaign, but that doesn't mean the Twitterverse is silent on this Republican presidential hopeful.

In August, Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, deferred attention from his own possible run in support of his 2012 running mate Mitt Romney. For now, the Twitter name #paulryan2016 has little to say, but those who oppose Ryan’s tax and budget plans have plenty to tweet about.

Here are 12 tweets reacting to his policies and his chances should he decide to run in 2016:
