Romney Surrogate Sununu Complicates Campaign’s Medicare Messaging
¬snip¬
The Romney campaign is charging that President Obama has cut $700 billion from Medicare. It has been less vocal about the fact that the Ryan plan, too, takes $700 billion from Medicare.
But one Romney surrogate admitted Tuesday morning that Ryan’s plan does make those same cuts.
John Sununu, the former governor of New Hampshire, said the $700 billion in cuts is one of the big differences between the Romney and Ryan plans.
Romney’s plan is “very different,” Sununu said. “When Obama gutted Medicare by taking $717 billion out of it, the Romney plan does not do that,” Sununu said on CNN’s “Starting Point” Tuesday. “The Ryan plan mimicked part of the Obama package there. The Romney plan does not. That’s a big difference.”
