Former Speaker John Boehner endorsed Paul Ryan for president today – the day after Donald Trump won 4 of 5 states in Super Tuesday 2.0.
The elites don’t give a damn about the Republican base and this is more proof.
The Politico reported:
Former Speaker John Boehner said Paul Ryan should be the Republican nominee for president if the party fails to choose a candidate on the first ballot.
“If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above,” Boehner said at the Futures Industry Association conference here. “They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee.”
Wading into the GOP nominating battle for the first time since leaving office last fall, Boehner said that “anybody can be nominated” at the convention in Cleveland this summer.
Boehner, who now splits his time between Florida, Ohio and D.C., had long whispered to friends that he believes Ryan could be the party’s political savior if it came to that.
But Boehner never said it publicly until now.

These people are truly criminal.
This is The Onion, right?
As a chica just said on FBN
“this is why John Boehner is no longer Speaker”
Forgive me, but I will cheer the death of this repulsive sub human.
Called it, I said they would enlist Ryan to take on Trump.
Indeed
Because the self parody is too thick for this to be real.
Yeah I thought it was a joke too, but it’s real.
Yeah Super Boehner to the rescue.
I don’t think you will be alone.
Oh yeah he is ready to go to the Fox News debate.
This is even though he will have 0 Delegates.
They need a review of the wording it is NOT.....
THEM, The People.. forming a more perfect union..haaaa!
The Republican Party:
Of the elites, by the elites, for the elites...
No surprise here, except for the fact that most other RNC higher-ups would probably prefer Romney or Jeb.
Instincts of a tiger that one...
John, just go away!
I agree with Boehner. It makes much more sense crowning as our nominee someone who nobody has voted for, vs someone who by then will have about 1000 delegates. What could go wrong? /sarcasm off.
Boehner and the GOPe had best be careful for what they wish.
Back dooring the primary and giving Ryan the nomination would (not could) destroy the GOP (period).
A relative was listening to Rush on the radio in the car yesterday & said Ryan came up. I looked up the transcript & actually, Rush was thinking that Jeb! is the one the establishment still wants to cram down our throats. Snerdley disagreed and brought up “Ryan”. Rush was saying Ryan had said ‘no’, but that was before the latest when Ryan appeared open to being nominated.
Ryan is more “attractive” than Jeb! ... physically & otherwise, but he is a non-starter with “we the people”. Jeb! is also a non-starter, as evidenced by his pathetic “candidacy” if you can even call it that (more like spendfest with donor money). The GOPe did not believe the first shot across the bow with Cantor being thrown out & they continue to ignore the warning signs .... more ‘beat down’ coming if they try any Jeb! or Ryan stunts.
