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.”
Late Tuesday evening, as results from primary contests confirmed Donald Trump’s victories in four out of five states, CNBC reported that Ryan had not ruled out accepting such a nomination.

NO F’en way
Plus he can indorse a sack of crap and it means nothing
Pin the tail on the jackass...
Get real it is TO LATE, and it’s a 2 man race now. Kasich will be dropping out soon, with only 1 win, just as Rubio just did. Simple math tells that story.
Besides Ryan is a stinking RINO.
At this point, Boehner endorsing someone is the kiss of political death.
It says a lot that not even Cruz is an acceptable alternative to the establishment.
GOP running scared. As they should be.
Why not Eric Cantor? /sarc
Everyone, please notice that Boehner is stating that the candidates get ONE ballot at the convention before the party does whatever the hell it wants.
I am not aware of a single instance where a single convention ballot was the limit.
The goal posts are moving once again. Will we, the voters, allow this?
Republican Party 1854-2016.
This is what many of the Cruz supporters don’t understand. If they can skip over Trump, they’ll skip over Cruz too. They best strategy against the GOPe is a Trump-Cruz alliance...Cruz attacking Trump gains him nothing at this point.
Can anyone answer this question:
Someone posted that people running for POTUS get paid the same as POTUS while they are officially running for POTUS. Is that true?
Republican Party 1854-2016. ~ R.I.P.
The important point here is that they’re putting pressure on the delegates.
We need to make sure our delegates know to stand firm.
Does the GOP think it can win the Election without votes?
