Paul Ryan will not be the GOP nominee.

just a smokescreen until the brokered convention.



#ryan2016

He kept saying the same thing about being speaker of the house. I have to admit he played that perfectly. He said "No, no, no, no NO", and then "ok ONLY if these conditions are met : A, B, C, " and got exactly what he wanted.

I don't agree with the guy much but I think he would be the most level-headed guy that the GOP could nominate. If its not him, then it could be - ack - Mitt Romney.

Paul Ryan is *NOT* interested in the Speaker of the House position...oh wait. Lol at the naivete.

5 Times Paul Ryan Said He's Not Running for Speaker of the House - Breitbart

Paul Ryan isn't a moderate alternative to Donald Trump. He's not a moderate at all. - Vox

He is a lot smarter than he appeared during his attempt at the VP run. He seemed very childish or almost like a brat during that run.

He seems to have grown a lot and I suspect he is smart enough to know he's in a very powerful position. However that could all change if the Republicans lose the majority.

I think he will run the next go around, but I don't think he is dumb enough to want to get involved in the drama that would become of anyone who hasn't run stepping in to get the nomination away from Trump or Cruz.

Tje fact is the GOP has created a monster with all their anti govt and extreemism. They now have a radicalized base and their best play will be to wright off this election and try to tame the monster they have created.

The house elects the speaker of the house, and they can choose who they elect. There was no difference in the election. The speaker has no debates, no delegates, no votes. Playing coy bitch in that scenario is a political power move in a political setting.

The nominee is totally different. First, the nominee has to have won 8 states. That rule would need to be voted on, and changed for Kasich. Anyone else would require a complete rewriting of the rules before the vote. It would disenfranchise the voters, and undermine the whole purpose of the nomination as a public event. For Paul Ryan to successfully pull his coy bitch lying routine on actual voters? It won't work, and would probably end the party.

He is a smart man, and he is using the media the way trump does, to keep focus on himself for his 2020 run against Clinton, where he will be a very formidable candidate.

edit: apologies Crockett, I essentially repeated what you said except the last sentence

you're a fucking idiot pinko.

people are positioning themselves in the event trump is not in the race much longer. should the trump delegates become open delegates, someone has to stop Cruz. If Cruz got the nomination that is 5x more suicidal than trump for sure. the party would turn to Ryan.
