House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested Tuesday night that he could reach for the Republican presidential nomination during a contested convention in Cleveland.

Entirely agree, and if elected their first job should be to go to war against the fat cats in positions of party leadership. The country club politically connected who look down on the voters should end their careers as greeters at Wall Mart, and have to trade their Cabernet and Kobe beef for Budweiser, Slim Jims, and Cheese Whiz.
Can you believe this Paul Ryan guy. NO ONE VOTES FOR HIM.
He gets SELECTED to run for VP by Romney
He gets SELECTED to be House Speaker by a relative handful of Republicans
He now wants to be SELECTED to be a presidential candidate
Other than a half-baked House district, just what has he won on his own.
I wonder if Paul Ryan will come out with an endorsement in the next three weeks considering Wisconsin has a primary on April 5th.
What makes you think the delegates will be Trump or Cruz supporters ? They are not picked by the candidates — they are picked by the local party hacks, ie. the GOPe.
The RULES bind them to vote for Trump or Cruz on the first vote but they are not bound to vote against “rules changes” that hurt Trump and Cruz — like tossing out Rule 40. And they are not bound to vote for Trump or Cruz on a second vote — they can vote their “conscience” and hand it to whoever the GOPe tells them to.
We could theoretically see a second vote where Trump and Cruz get only a few hundred delegates and JEB gets 2,000.
After the whipping Rubio took, you would think Ryan would wise up, but these clowns just do not have a clue what is going on. If Ryan jumps in, he will crash like Cantor.
If these GOPe people think they can just walk in and take the nomination from Trump then these people are completely delusional. More so than I thought they ever were.
“a Trump/Cruz ticket is assured”
I like Senator Cruz, but I think Supreme Court Justice would be a much more appropriate position for than Vice President.
Cruz is extremely intelligent and would be a good addition to the Supreme Court.
Add Ryan to the list of folks I’ll never vote for.
I’m pretty sure you have never participated in delegate selection and so have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
As it should be.
Rules were made to be broken...and Trump and Cruz are breaking as many as they can.
No need to stop now.
And Racid Pubies should be fired for allowing CaseBitch to remain.
They may just more anti GOPe and Trump is the only option. Trump is more 3rd party than GOP. The GOPe has shot themselves in the foot/arms/crotch. Not much left.
Cruz no longer has an anti-establishment cred!!!!!!!!!!
Cruz is hemorrhaging.
Rubio is out.
Trump will make an easy target of liptwitch mailman (Soros backed) Kasich.
GOPe rinos have thrown everyone and the kitchen sink at Trump and he is the unsinkable Molly Brown.
And, the Republicans will suffer the worst, most embarrassing defeat ever recorded in the history of this nation.
But, that’s what they want.
Ted Cruz, a natural born CUBAN citizen born in CANADA is not eligible to the office of president (Article II, Section 1, Clause 5) or the office of vice president (Article XII the last sentence).
GET OVER IT! Stick a fork in him, he’s DONE.
hehehe
"...Joe Biden, who gave a moronic debate performance and made a grinning fool..."
I still don't understand to this day why Ryan didn't turn to him in that debate and call him out for giggling like a pompous lunatic. He could have shut him down right then and there.
Yep, let’s go with Trump/Cruz 2016
Go for it Paul. One tweet from Trump and the GOP is destroyed.
