Watching Ron Johnson is like "watching a temper tantrum by a 2 year old."


How dumb is Ron Johnson? Intolerably so I guess.
Ron Johnson is expected to fire most of his Washington, D.C., legislative staffers in an effort to refocus his office on political messaging, according to Roll Call … described Johnson's conflicts with his staff as "one of the worst-kept secrets in Washington" in recent months.
Another of those worst kept secrets? He's full of himself, and wrong on the issues. 
“He’s an interesting case study of someone who has talked more than he has listened, lectured more than he has developed relationships with his colleagues, and now he’s having a tough time because of that behavior in advancing his policy goals,” one senior GOP aide told Roll Call. “It’s kind of like watching a temper tantrum by a 2-year-old in the middle of the grocery store.
Just in case that wasn’t bad enough, Johnson seems to be in complete denial. In fact, he’s employing the “say the opposite” tact Republicans have been using way too often.
“We’ve had incredibly low turnover in my office,” Johnson said.

RollCall: He put a staff together like “any other Senator” but quickly realized that the day-to-day grind of legislating was not his forte … former staffers had indicated the Wisconsin Senator was frustrated with his operation in the days following the election and informed his staffers they would not be coming with him to D.C. 
The less we see of this panicky guy, the better. Isn't if funny how Paul Ryan and Johnson speak almost breathlessly about the end of the country? Anyone else see something extremely off kilter here?
