How magnanimous! Maybe we’ll be blessed with him getting a good, swift kick out the door for GOOD.

Ryan really really REALLY can’t accept it, either, due to non-negotiable “family time”. Wonder how much of that he’s getting now?

He is now fighting to keep is seat in congress.
The funny thing is if he simply listened to The People back in 2010, he would probably be shoe in for 2016.
Now, he’s just another fool about to be thrown out of office.

We'd already ruled that out four years ago, but thanks for playing.

All that this does is draw attention to the idea of Ryan as a presidential candidate. He is really needy for attention.

OR it is a direct message to the GOPe that:

1) Ryan will not be a stealth candidate,
2) to stop scheming like real life is like House of Cards, and
3) to break out their checkbooks and work the grassroots to support Cruz - the only candidate that will stop Trump.

Mr. Ryan, since hopefully your going to be Primaried, we won’t have to worry about you after Aug 2016.

Yawn - a nother Trumpanzee fantasy. Even if Ryan is primaried, he will not lose. Cruz beat the tar out of the Donald in Ryan's congressional district. And local conservative talk radio in Milwaukee will support Ryan - bigtime.

Ryan also claimed he would fight Obama’s agenda yet he funded it. He’s a liar of the first order and the very epitome of Republican weakness.

So true, but a favorite of the Badgers!

Ryan had not yet been born when LBJ made the famous
Sunday night speech. He may be fully unaware of the speech.

Perhaps he knows what’s good for him?

He would go down in history as the last Presidential candidate to ever run from the GOPe party. What a great epitaph for Ryan, eh?
