Romney: Clone Paul Ryan for Speaker, President


By    |   Sunday, 18 October 2015 05:35 PM EDT

Mitt Romney is so big on his 2012 presidential running mate Paul Ryan that he wishes there were two of him.

In an interview Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" Romney was asked about his comments that he'd like to see Wisconsin congressman become president one day.

"Does that ambition that you have for him make you think that speaker of the house would not be a good job for him to take?" host Jake Tapper asked.

"From my own standpoint, I see Paul as one of the people coming along that has the potential to lead our country. And if he became speaker of the House in the near term, that's also a crucial role," Romney said. "We need Paul in two spots at once."

"Sounds like you're coming out in favor of cloning Paul," Tapper told Romney.

"I wish we could," Romney answered.
