Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said there's "potential" for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to be drafted as a presidential nominee at a Republican convention because he is the one person who could unify the party.
"I think it's just natural that that speculation would happen because he's one of the great leaders here on Capitol Hill and one of the people who brings both sides, all sides together, I should say," Hatch told reporters Thursday.

Orrin, nobody will fall for that.
I think it might be a good idea to draft and run a true conservative candidate at the convention. But, Ryan is an open borders Rino. No way Jose.
Thus ensuring a Hillary/Bernie win when everyone who voted for a republican candidate in the primaries stays home on election day. BUT not all is lost the GOPe would far rather lose to Hillary than win with Trump or Cruz. The GOPe is far more closely align to the Democrats than to any conservatives.
People in UT will fall for whatever Orrin says.
How can he “unify the party” when neither Trumpsters nor Cruzers like Ryan? Ryans track record as a budget expert is disastrous. He night even lose his House seat and get Cantorized, God Willing. Get him outa here!
Try it...
I AM CALLING FOR A MARCH ON GOP HEADQUARTERS IF THEY DO
A few thousand bikers storming the front doors and emptying the place of furniture and personnel would be good.
Tell Rinse he is fired.
Translation: He keeps the vig rolling in and the goodies flowing.
Not true.
Reince said Tuesday night that the nominee will be one of the three currently running. IN addition to that the nominee has to have won eight states. That will most likely eliminate Kasich.
Reince mentioned two candidates who got the first vote 1237 when they came in at less than 1237.
Fox projected Trump to have around 1200 - and said there would likely be 150 unbound delegates. That means Trump could get 1237 on the first vote if 40 of the 150 vote for him.
Trump could very easily have 1237 on the first vote.
Reince specifically said the Ryan and Romney talk is complete nonsense.
Ryan or Romney would actually run worse.
Is he insane?
Is he insane?
No. Just senile. Old enough for some dementia to start showing up.
Weak candidate.
Orin “ruby ridge” Hatch is as a corrupt politician as you will ever encounter.
...but no way Ryan. Orin’s just getting on the record for his donor/lobbiest herd.
they have pills to help. i’ll send him a bottle.
I thought he was a stand up guy.
Ryan.
Is that the same Ryan as VP candidate who couldn’t deliver Wisconsin to Romney?
I disagree with the notion that Ryan could “unite” the GOP.
The GOPe already made a deal with the Democrats to sink Trump and get Hillary as president. Ryan is just the designated loser. Just watch.
GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.

Then we're in for some real fun. /s
...and the Republican Party could commit suicide.
