"I think you need to run for president if you're going to be president, and I'm not running for president," Ryan said. "So period, end of story."

So tht leaves Cruz and Trump, the only two running.

Kabuki theater.

Yep. GOPe has been getting hammered on Colorado and Trump is benefiting. This is just a little you know what in Trump’s punch bowl to get the news cycle on something else.

Great.

I hope he sticks to this and is not just waiting for the GOP leadership to beg him, then reluctantly agree to accept the nomination.

[lodi90]

He may be positioning himself for 2020 though.

Forget 2020. Ryan has a primary challenger. He’s been posturing to not get Cantored lately. Going tough on Obama’s amnesty, etc. This is just more of that and trying to get Colorado off the news. GOPe is getting absolutely hammered by that.

honestly selected through votes of actual ordinary citizen voters.

Who are you kidding? The GOPe doesn't believe in that.
