He ran for Speaker against Boner.
Got memory loss?
Oh brother. What a dang liar. Nobody ran which is why they had to offer all kinds of goodies to Ryan to take it. You must have been asleep or deemed it or something. Paul said he needed to ensure he was able to go home every weekend or he would not take the position. He was offered other things to make him take the job which he did not want at all. They did a good job forcing him to take it though.
To be fair, I wanted to send you one of many articles showing Ryan was forced. Poor guy. I would hate to be forced to take a job I wouldn’t want. He said he did it for the country. No word of Gohmert wanting it or even interested.
