Paul Ryan is one of many ‘trial balloons’ whose names will be floated ahead of the convention ‘fix’.

Its they’re throwing ‘RINO excrement’ up against the wall to see if it will ‘stick’.

Actually, Ryan is working hard to be the nominee in spite of what he says just like he lobbied to be Speaker while insisting he didn't want to be Speaker.

Never forget, Octavian became the first Roman Emperor by constantly insisting he didn't want the power he carefully arranged to have others bestow on him. It's one approach to gaining power. There are others, but when there's several people who at the moment have no power openly fighting for power, someone with power playing the, "please don't ask me" game hides a lot of maneuvering because the splashy stuff is focused on those who are openly seeking power.

Now that he's seen how lobbyists and others scrape and bow before Mr. Speaker, do you really think he's not working to be Mr. President where he doesn't have to put up with the same rules to the game that now limit him?
