Paul Ryan: Everything 'fair game' until nominee selected
The Hill ^ | 3 March 16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 03/03/2016 11:52:42 AM PST by SkyPilot

Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) dodged a series of questions Thursday morning about Mitt Romney's expected attack on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, saying, however, that "everything is fair game" until a nominee is chosen.

"I know Mitt feels strongly about this election, and he's going to speak his mind," Ryan said on "Fox and Friends," adding that Romney is a GOP leader who's "worried about the future of the party."

"I'm gonna keep my powder dry. I am the Speaker of the House, therefore I'm neutral in this race. I'm the chair of the convention," Ryan said in declining to offer his own thoughts on the speech Romney is scheduled to deliver Thursday morning at the University of Utah. Romney is expected to rip Trump as a "fraud" and "phony" in those remarks.

Trump, meanwhile, has unloaded on the 2012 GOP nominee ahead of the address. Trump called Romney a "failed" candidate who "begged" for his endorsement in 2012.

"If you're the nominee of the party, you want everybody's endorsement. That's just how it works," Ryan said Thursday. "We don't have a nominee yet. This thing still has a ways to play out."

Indeed.
They are not attacking just Trump. He can move on and have all that money, but us voters are the ones being insulted and attacked and like hell will I ever forget today.

KKK, Mafia, taxes, lying about him, insulting him , even about the size of his hands, tan, hair.

Little Bit#### they are and hopefully we all send them a message in future elections.

Yea I was on the fence since the last debate, but seeing what I have seen and hearing what I have then I felt I had to.

Thank you too for no insults and being gracious.

Romney worried about the party vs Trump worried about the country.

Nice contrast.

All I ask of everyone is to vote your conscience and be sure you vote. God wins every election.
