Brown and Ryan both have objectively had pretty great careers, though. Neither of them became president but they've had better careers than 99.9% of people in politics. Ryan's Speaker of the House, which is an achievement in and of itself even if he's not a particularly good one. He's probably never going to be president, but I don't think he wants to be so who cares?

Brown sucked as a presidential candidate, but he keeps getting Governor of California so its not like he's an utter failure.

I'm surprised no one has said Anthony Weiner, yet.
Yeah you're certainly right. I was thinking more presidential in how everyone expected Ryan to seek the presidency only to become one of the most hated politicians today and how Brown just never got there and just had to take his old job back to stay relevant

Tisei isn't exactly a flop... The moment Ambitious Seth runs for higher office, that seat is his.
I was thinking mainly how polls predicted a tight race, but Moulton's final margin was higher than (at least I) expected
