Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) dodged a series of questions Thursday morning about Mitt Romney's expected attack on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, saying, however, that "everything is fair game" until a nominee is chosen.
"I know Mitt feels strongly about this election, and he's going to speak his mind," Ryan said on "Fox and Friends," adding that Romney is a GOP leader who's "worried about the future of the party."
"I'm gonna keep my powder dry. I am the Speaker of the House, therefore I'm neutral in this race. I'm the chair of the convention," Ryan said in declining to offer his own thoughts on the speech Romney is scheduled to deliver Thursday morning at the University of Utah. Romney is expected to rip Trump as a "fraud" and "phony" in those remarks.
Trump, meanwhile, has unloaded on the 2012 GOP nominee ahead of the address. Trump called Romney a "failed" candidate who "begged" for his endorsement in 2012.
"If you're the nominee of the party, you want everybody's endorsement. That's just how it works," Ryan said Thursday. "We don't have a nominee yet. This thing still has a ways to play out."

Oh yeah.....Trump is gonna be LIVING in your district stumping for whoever primaries YOU!!
“I am God to you peons!”
Yes only djt supporters are allowed to have an opinion. Remember if you disagree you are a loser and low energy and maybe even a traitor.
And here is the difference that Americans are waking up to. There is a candidate who “feels strongly about this election, and he’s going to speak his mind,” Ryan said on “Fox and Friends,” adding that Romney is a GOP leader who’s “worried about the future of the party.”
And then there is a candidate who is worried about the future of the country.
“Everything fair game”: Lying, Cheating, Stealing . . . .
You can have any opinion you want.
Fair Game..Like his removal?
oh yea, accuse him of racism, lie abut him, demand taxes when no one cares and then think everything is OK.
Well Paul your plan backfired.
I was for Ted until today. I am now for Trump and screw you elitist turds.
Please send Cruz a big thank you for installing this POS as speaker thru his minions in the Freedom Caucus.
Ryan appeared heartfelt in his denunciations, which were plainly aimed at Trump’s failure to disavow David Duke over the weekend, as well as at Trump’s casual use of his mighty twitter feed to promote the rantings of racists. And Ryan deserves credit for doing this, just as he deserved credit for denouncing in unequivocal terms Trump’s call for a temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims from entering the United States. There’s little doubt that Ryan personally finds Trumpism to be horrifying.
Bullcrap, you've already joined in the Trump KKK nonsense.
And here I thought only Obama was an a*shole, now Ryan and the rest of these buffoons are earning the name.
He’s a leader? What is his title? P. Ryan, why are you listening to a man that does not have a title instead of listening to the “majority” of the American voters? I would think millions of voices should outweigh a single man.
Trump has pretty much every POS in DC mad at him. I guess the GOPe think people like them or something.
Yes, Romney has every right to make an ass of himself and demonstrate his lack of party loyalty.
And, in my opinion, Ryan should have responded saying, “Romney should have declared himself a candidate last summer if he wants to be nominated by the GOP. So, in my opinion, he will NOT be nominated, now or any time in the 2016 campaign.”
“Oh yeah.....Trump is gonna be LIVING in your district stumping for whoever primaries YOU!!”
What a COMPLETELY STELLAR IDEA! Donald should give direction as President, then “wear out” AF1 (that is if Obola doesn’t beat him to it) visiting the districts of all of his GOPe detractors in two years!
“I am the Speaker of the House, therefore I’m neutral in this race”
If somebody pulled 1% of the crap on Ryan in an election that has been pulled on Trump, Ryan would be crying like the little weasel weenie he is.
