Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) in an interview on Monday rejected any interest in seeking the GOP presidential nomination.

“I do believe people put my name in this thing, and I say, 'Get my name out of that,'” he said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show." "If you want to be president, you should go run for president. And that’s just the way I see it.

He also “rejected” speculation that he would run for SOH.

Yeah, right.
That’s why he has been giving stump speeches for the last four months.
That’s why he is hoping no candidate gets to 270 so the election can get thrown to the House.
Where nobody will vote and he gets the job by default.

He isn’t ‘rejecting’ it. He is perpetuating the ‘idea ‘ of it to see who salutes as it is raised up that flag pole over voters’ wishes. A f@cking, conniving duplicitous snake.

Took words out of my mouth. He did reject speculation that he wanted to be Speaker. What happened?? Well, somehow he became Speaker in spite of his denials in any interest in that job..............

Ryan is a snake and a liar.

He pretends his words are true.

And we pretend to hear his words.

If this wasn't the plan he would say "If nominated I would refuse. I'm closing that door right now." Of course he would still change his mind. But like it or not this is the establishmnt plan.

They don't want Trump because a Trump victory means the status quo is over. An outsider actually bypassed the power structure of the parties and beat them at their own game. Trump is NOT bought and sold and doesn't recognize or acknowledge any control over him or his actions by the parties.

There is NO other candidate that can make that claim...especially Cruz.

Are you speaking of the process of choosing a president by the House of Representatives, if no candidate gets 270 electoral votes in the general election??

You beat me to it. I was going to make that very same point.

Paul Ryan couldn't beat Joe Biden in a debate- what makes anyone think he can beat ?

This is an exact replay of the speaker election.

I guess he thinks he is George Washington.

I have voted in every election including and since and including that of 1952 for Dwight Eisenhower.

I have never seen so much corruption, cheating.....

It makes the elections of Kennedy and Nixon look admirable.

DC has become a cesspool of crime and corruption and the only way to end it is to elect people who will cut government down to bare bones and that would in turn dry up 90% or more of the lobby people and their dirty money.

From the guy who didn’t want to be Speaker, from the guy who gave Zero his budget. Sure, Ryan.

If you want to understand Ryan, look at his eyes and his mouth.

Never met a man with a face like his who can be trusted.

Rat face Ryan.

They all say that. I just called my republican Congressional people and told them to not even consider Paul Ryan. We do need someone else and a hanged convention may be the way to do it but not Ryan. Call your Congressional Representatives and deliver the message now. Burn the phones!
