On the eve of the Wisconsin primaries, top Republicans are becoming increasingly vocal about their long-held belief that Speaker Paul Ryan will wind up as the nominee, perhaps on the fourth ballot at a chaotic Cleveland convention.
One of the nation’s best-wired Republicans, with an enviable prediction record for this cycle, sees a 60 percent chance of a convention deadlock and a 90 percent chance that delegates turn to Ryan — ergo, a 54 percent chance that Ryan, who’ll start the third week of July as chairman of the Republican National Convention, will end it as the nominee.

You are assuming they would not be fine with Hillary running their globalist criminal enterprise.
I'm not assuming that about "them". I just don't think there's enough of "them" to control the convention. They just might let Cruz take the nomination and then push HRC, hoping for another 50 years of "See what happens when we nominate one of your guys?" like they pulled after Goldwater.

This is simply the rumor of the day; something to fill 20 column inches of newsprint.... and line the bottom of birdcages.

Most politicians either are, or eventually become, professional liars. Words are their stock in trade. They don’t do much of anything else other than talk. ;)

Cruz is being used to block Trump. He doesn’t understand he’ll NEVER be in their club.Even Stevie Wonder can see this.

There is too much of it from many many sources now. Denial is comforting but not reality.

doesn’t matter it seems how many facts are faced in front of them.
they just can’t see straight right now due to their hatred and bitterness of losing to trump.
I don’t want to see one of them on here acting surprised when cruz is stabbed in the back.
they voted for this, they wanted this and they get what they deserve.

again you spout the usual crap and yet you can’t answer the question.
When ever has the front runner stepped down to let in the first place loser anywhere.?
Put up or shut up and grow up, because people like you make this place looking more and more like DU.

Paul Ryan showed in 2012 how weak and inept he was - a negative on Romney's Ticket. So far in Congress Ryan has done nothing impressive except go along with Obama. Ryan is even for importing more Muslims.
Ryan would be a sure loser - to be chosen only if the GOP once again wants to throw the election. He had nothing going for him.

RE:”

If Trump doesn't like the RNC rules he shouldn't have committed to them, then to break them .
Unless his whole plan was to elect Hillary.
Prove you love this country Don, support Cruz!
