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."

If Cruz would drop and join Trump, GOPe would be suicidal. It’s truly for the good of the country.
I’m thinking sensible voters for Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and other drop outs will vote for Trump in order to avoid a brokered convention. It only makes sense. Their guys can’t win.
Kasick is not going to win the nomination and should drop out. The Cruz odds are looking slimmer after last night.
The delegate numbers:
Trump 656 (has won 47% of allocated delegates)
Cruz 408 (29%)
Rubio 172 (12%)
Kasich 138 (10%)
Trump needs to win 55% of remaining delegates (including 60 left from last night) to reach 1,237 magic number
Cruz needs to win 79% of remaining delegates (including 60 left from last night) to reach 1,237 magic number
Kasich needs to win 104% of the remaining delegates (including 60 left from last night) to reach 1,237 magic number
Bonehead: That pledge we made Trump sign means nothing to us. We won’t honor it.
just get rid of Ryan next election cycle. F’em.
In fact we need a list of Senators and Congressman that are done... RINO meat and list the ones that need to be voted out from 1-10(whatever) and focus our votes on the top 2-3 to just let them know that voters have had it with their BS.
Boner, along with Romney, pining for the fjords.
