A new video released by House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 56% has reporters chattering about whether or not it serves as a subtle campaign ad, as his supporters continue to whisper his name as a potential Republican presidential nominee in a brokered convention.
The video features footage from Ryan’s speech calling for a better brand of politics. That talk implicitly criticized Donald Trump’s brand of campaigning.
The video is the latest of a series of web videos produced by his digital communications director Caleb Smith to highlight the Ryan brand of politics.
Smith’s video includes multiple camera angles, a soundtrack, and shots of the audience reaction to the speech, which quickly drew praise from the digital community for its slick production. The video is also raising questions among journalists.
“The first ad of the Ryan 2016 campaign?” asked ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Twitter, sharing the video.
“Sweet campaign ad from the Ryan team,” noted Jacqueline Alemany from CBS News on Twitter after she saw the ad.
“Hmmmm campaign ad?” wondered Paula Faris from ABC News on Twitter.
“Speaker Ryan still not running for president but is making ads 10x stronger than the current candidates,” tweeted ABC News journalist Alex Mallin in response to the ad.

This is a GOPe putsch, a coup d’état attempt by the elite 0.1% against the Republican 99.9%. Considering how fat dumb and happy the GOPe have become they will fail spectacularly, but they aren’t giving up power without a dirty fight.
“Why must they always criticize conservatives more and harder than they do a crook like Hillary?”
Bingo!
If the GOPe runs Ryan, it is time to vote for Hitlery. Burn it down. The sooner, the better. Then we can rebuild from the ashes. Excluding any RINOs, assuming that they come out of the fire alive or unscathed.
while I agree someone nominated instead of these two would be wrong, it would kill the GOP permanently as we need to do.
The real target is not really the Presidency. No, the President can be controlled by Congress.
The current congress elected by the GOP voters have been horribly betrayed as it refuses to do its constitutional duty to reel in an out-of-control Executive branch.
The GOP will be history permanently if they stand against the voters on the nominee for President, and it will show all down the ballot box on congressional candidates running.
This is especially true if Ryan is installed.
they will turn into the Whig party.
So this was speaker.gov
Taxpayer funded :(
If this is a putsch, then we need to prepare ourselves.
you took the words from my mouth as I wrote post 43 prior to reading yours.
This jack ass is way over his pay grade.
My first glance I saw
“This jack ass is way over his gay parade.”
And don’t forget...CRUZ is complicit in this. Trump is exactly right...he’s a Trojan Horse. Cruzites get with the program....we are being screwed and CRUZ is helping them screw us.
If they do this, there will be no remaining doubt in my mind regarding the election process as a fully rigged ruse.
cannot support that line of reasoning.
cruz is the only true conservative standing.
and there is no question about it.
I have no intention of voting for anyone but Trump. I’m sick of their games. The party thugs have been running against their own front runner. The petty name calling by Trump pales in comparison to the dirty rotten all-out assault on trump.
That was dyslexia correct.
The ONLY way a Ryan can be inserted is with Cruz's cooperation. He is taking their money. He allowed his campaign to be taken over by the establishment. He has been bought off. His role is to keep suckering conservatives and convince them that Trump is bad news. He IS the establishment. And when his role is done he'll step aside and endorse Ryan.
nope, Trump is anti-establishment, but he is no conservative.
He is a celebrity who has spun some of the best lines of the campaign, but in no way shape or form can he be called a conservative.
He intends to tear down DC and install what? NY Values.
Cruz supporters are real suckers to think that the GOPe is going to give him the nomination!
I spent some years taking a deep dive into the nitty gritty of working the GOP internally. Was a delegate to local, state, and congressional district conventions; an officer of my local GOP club; a close friend of several GOP State Central Committee members; and I played an essential role in the events that sent Eric Cantor to K Street.
At every turn the grassroots found itself against an enemy alliance of Democrats and the GOP establishment. They had far more affinity for each other, up to and including what I believe was an actual Republican office holder facilitating election fraud in order to flip the governor’s election to McAuliffe, as well as the establishment loser of the GOP primary in that race turning around and backing the Democrat! That race was decided by a few thousand votes out of millions - their actions were decisive in handing the state to the opposition.
‘cannot support that line of reasoning.
cruz is the only true conservative standing.
and there is no question about it.’
That may be true, but if it is executed, his fingerprints will be all over it.
And don’t forget...CRUZ is complicit in this. Trump is exactly right...he’s a Trojan Horse. Cruzites get with the program....we are being screwed and CRUZ is helping them screw us.
Interesting timing of Video—same day as name Walker is emerging...So maybe RINORyan does want nomination after all and is sending signal...
nope, cruz is young and will still be a conservative standing firm when Trump is buried and goes onto the big casino in the sky.
Cruz has sold his soul for a mess of pottage, he will never be trusted again.
