Plan B: John Boehner Endorses Paul Ryan for President

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner has endorsed current Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56% for president, in the event that no Republican candidate achieves a majority on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.

Politico reports that Boehner, speaking at a conference in Boca Raton, Florida, said: “If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above. They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee.”

So if the candidates actually running in the race don't reach the magic number, Boner thinks he should be able to force a candidate not in the race on us. And that makes it fair. I am hating this weasel more than I thought possible.

That very well may be the case and could have been the plan of these Democrat operatives posing as Republicans all along. This is THE most important election in this nations history, as Ann Coulter put it, this election will determine whether the country is saved or it turns into California forever.

The only explanation: GOP-e wants to make *sure* they'll lose the election to Hillary.

The endorsement of a drunk for a traitorous RINO. They suit one another very well.

Boehner still doesn’t understand why he was canned.

I understand the primary system is supposed to be open and democratic, but I find that it is such bullshit that candidates spend millions and fail to get the threshold, and then some johnny come lately can just pop his little head in there and take the nomination, having done squat to earn that right.
