Former House Speaker John Boehner Wednesday endorsed current House Speaker Paul Ryan to be the Republican presidential nominee.
At the Republican convention, “anybody can be nominated,” Boehner said at a conference in Boca Raton, Fla.
“If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above,” Boehner said. "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.”
Over the last few months, Boehner has privately said that he thought Ryan would be a good candidate to heal a fractured party. The former speaker — who splits his time between Florida, Ohio and D.C. — has said in casual conversations that he thinks Ryan would be a good option if the party has not coalesced around a GOP candidate before the convention. Ryan's staff has recoiled at the notion, saying it was an "incredibly remote scenario," and the "speaker has no interest in it."

Here’s your sign.

As if we needed MORE evidence of a corrupt GOPe that needs to be destroyed by Trump.
Good luck with that.
Now go play some golf.
Bring it on. Two can play at this game. Would be pretty rough down ballot for the GOP if millions of Trumpers take a powder on the GOPe in the general.
Yeah, and anyone can be Speaker of the House. You don’t have to be a Member.
Wow! This is huge! Endorsed by the head Oompa Loompa, himself!
Where do I sign up????
Gee. Wonder what Wonder Boy Kasich thinks about this?
By definition, Boner is a member. A BIG member...
Will that be another double on the tab, sir?
Go ahead, Boehner. Make my day.
They really believe they own the party, dont they? And that the voters just arent part of the equation whatsoever.
This moron, this wet-noodle crybaby, has just proven beyond a shadow of a doubt why it was a good decision to get rid of him.
Ryan? No f’ing way! The first thing of import that he did after becoming speaker (which he got because he promised up, down and sideways to fight Obama) was to give Obama everything that he wanted in a gigantic omnibus spending bill. Again, NO F’ING WAY!!!!!
Thank you Ted Cruz for taking the one and only shot we have at saving the country and its’ constitution from destruction at the hands of the globalists away from us. I will not forget that when it counted you sided with the globalists over the people.
Trump said “ RIOTS!”
interesting.
No surprise here. Ryan was always the ‘brains’ behind the misbegotten Boehner Speakership anyway.
Somebody better alert CW. This is a perfect candidate for it to support! GOP, Hack and most importantly A Loser!
Goooo Trump
