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 dont have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, Im for none of the above, Boehner said. "They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So Im for none of the above. Im 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."

Exactly!
These establishment Republicans aren’t thinking of the entire ballot.
If I’m mad because they stole the election, I’m less likely to vote for my RINO congressman (that’s all I have right now) if I have to write Trump in.
He still hasn’t sobered up.
He was run out of office in disgrace.
Bonehead was part of the problem and that is why we are at this point in time..............GOP needs to learn their strings are cut and they not long can pull things the way they want
ROFLMAO. Still just as much of a giant orange crybaby a-hole as he ever was.
nope
You are as wacky as Boner
Imagine the fallout if Trump goes into the convention having won the majority of states and the most delegates, but not a clear majority and the nomination goes to someone else, someone who didn't even participate in the process. The GOP will lose the WH, Congress and state Houses and Governorships all across the country. It would be an epic disaster.
............and have a drink.....................
Boehner really IS that stupid, isn’t he?
WOW, you talk about stuck on stupid!
What a surprise from a failed leader.
If the GOP nomination is stolen from Trump, the GOP is dead!
I saw that actor in a movie over the weekend, playing bad guy fake FBI agent. He got a bullet in the forehead at the end.

I saw that movie.
Good one. Shows you what money can do to people.
Wouldn’t they have to change rule that the nominee must have win 8 states?
This is the actual plan now. They would destroy the Republican party right there. Actually, this isn’t funny, they actually are thinking this way and the GOPe consists now of losers who are now going dangerously mental. We need to remove them from their power before they start plotting with the enemies of Democracy to attack America globally.
Yea, and the American people "could" come up there, frog-march you all into the streets and decorate some lamp posts.....
Yes and for years I've been saying "let those lying weasels have it". The rest of us should just form a party of our own and let the GOPe spend the rest of their lives going to cocktail parties and stammering about how they were betrayed and how they ought to still be in office somewhere.
