EXCLUSIVE: Paul Ryan to Attend Secret Donor Meeting Next Week in Manhattan

The Observer ^

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has spent a lot of time denying any interest in the presidency.

Last week, when his office put out a 43-second video, the Drudge Report tweeted an all-caps siren reading “Paul Ryan launches first campaign ad?” Despite the video so resembling a campaign ad that even NPR’s Steve Inskeep joked this morning that he got choked up by the swelling music, Mr. Ryan’s people have aggressively swatted down speculation that the Congressman and unsuccessful 2012 vice presidential candidate was indeed waiting in the wings to be drafted should a consensus not be reached on any of the candidates who have been working to earn the votes of Republican primary voters over the last year.

[Iowa David]

Remember you promised.

[Don Corleone]

The more the pols deny it the less I tend to believe them.

[Neu Pragmatist]

So you’re a GOPe hack , enlighten us on how it is going to play out ... is it going to be Cruz/Ryan , Ryan/Cruz, Romney/Cruz perhaps ?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

I will work against him, if he is selected...

[vette6387]

“LOL! A Cruz-bot defending and covering for Ryan...Priceless !”

Duplicity on parade for all to see!

[ripnbang]

If it’s on FR, it’s not secret.

It’s Eric Cantor at Amelia Island all over again.

So much for learning from history.

[ripnbang]

How would he like to lose by 20% in the general?

[Neu Pragmatist]

I love it ...Cruz’s campaign just ended today and the Cruz-bots are in a panic ...let’s enjoy it

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Truth is, I won’t vote for who they pick for me. I will write in. And to hell with those I hear will vote for Bernie or Hill ‘out of spite’.
