House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has spent a lot of time denying any interest in the presidency.
Last week, when his office put out a 43-second video, the Drudge Report tweeted an all-caps siren reading “Paul Ryan launches first campaign ad?” Despite the video so resembling a campaign ad that even NPR’s Steve Inskeep joked this morning that he got choked up by the swelling music, Mr. Ryan’s people have aggressively swatted down speculation that the Congressman and unsuccessful 2012 vice presidential candidate was indeed waiting in the wings to be drafted should a consensus not be reached on any of the candidates who have been working to earn the votes of Republican primary voters over the last year.

If they shove Paul Ryno down our throats in Cleveland, they better plan on staying in the convention hall for a few weeks until the outside crowd settles down.

He said he wouldn't seek or accept the nomination. I'm pretty sure most FReepers had already said that after the November 2012 fiasco, and several more times after Ryan returned to work in the Senate. He's in NYC to undermine the primary process, in particular Trump's overwhelming lead in NY state.

If they put Ryan on the ticket hopefully he gets primaried out of his House seat and also never becomes president or VP

Lets get real. Ryan will be lucky if he retains his seat in the US House of Representatives. I plan to send his opponent a contribution.

He didn’t say he didn’t want to be Vice President.

Gee... When do I get invited to a secret donor meeting in Manhatten? I'm sure I would have some advice to contribute. Alas, advice is probably the last thing they're seeking.

He may or may not run but he’s going to the meeting for the big bags of money being passed around.
