He starts out with an unintended enthymeme... by responding .."What I can tell you is...
But what we hear is there is something that you are privy to that you can't tell us. there is something that you are keeping from us that you don't trust us to know. "I am hiding somthing and therefore I can not be trusted."

Also, the look on his face plays a role in how his response is received. his brow is furrowed and he appears about ready to soil his $1,000 slacks. He looks stressed and uncomfortable discussing the issue at hand.

Next, Paul Ryan comes on looking smug and a bit condescending, like, yeah, I got this. He looks almost like he is doing his best to paste this look on as to appear unshakable...he fails...he looks like someone you want to slap...hard...twice.

Our commentator goes on to address a specific issue and suggest he offer an explanation to their proposed plan... Ryan simply nods and starts out with "The good news for us is..." I call that deflecting.
Who asked him what the good news was? He is merely suggesting that there is good news...and who is us? He stammers and appears to be avoiding any direct answers, thus perpetuating the feeling of distrust. Halfway through his face begins to show signs of frustration...eyes no longer bright and cheerful.

Question: "Don't voters have a right to know which loopholes you are going to go after?"
Response (as opposed to answer) "So, Mitt Romney and I think, because of our experience, that the best way to do this..."
which implies that we know best because we are smarter than you and our plan will be revealed when we say it will...Our terms not yours.     (And, starting with the word SO adds a hint of condescension to the feel of his response.)

Q: Why not say right now...
R: George, "Because we want to have this discussion  in public"...really making no sense...losing his cool...
he takes the tone and look of an unhappy parent addressing his child.

They both come off like elitist snobs.

You never see Ron Paul respond like this because he seems to have nothing to hide...
