“I’m almost hoping it is Paul Ryan,” John Fugelsang says, alluding to the buzz surrounding the Wisconsin congressman. “No. 1, I would love to see a national referendum on this Medicare scheme Paul Ryan is pushing. No. 2, if Paul Ryan is the vice presidential nominee … you will see Eddie Munster trend every day on Twitter until after Election Day,” Fugelsang continues.
