Speaker Paul Ryan not interested in GOP presidential nomination
Chicago Tribune ^ | 03/16/2016

House Speaker Paul Ryan's spokeswoman says he is not interested in the Republican nomination for president.

The possibility of Ryan possibly securing the nomination at a contested Republican Party convention started when he said in a CNBC interview "there are a lot of people running for president. We'll see. Who knows?"

Former House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday he would support Ryan if Republicans can't nominate any candidate at the convention.

But Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong tried to move quickly to quash any talk of Ryan becoming the nominee.

Sure Ryan is interested, just as Hubert Humphrey was.

Paul Ryan is the only hope left for the GOP political aristocracy.

Trump , who is being assailed on all sides,simply needs to beat Cruz like a drum, and America needs to know that if Trump is not supported overwhelmingly
by the electorate, then Hillary wins and puts America into darkness and confusion for decades.

We need to have The Donald’s back. Lets make it so.

It is good that Ryan does not make a stand because as usual, he will fail to take the correct one: Endorse Trump and stand 100% behind him. That does not take even one brain cell to understand.

Well well, there it is, Ryan throwing his hat in the ring.

As in “I don’t want to be speaker”

Exactly. Color me skeptical. This is the same guy who repeatedly claimed not to be interested in being speaker of the house. Right before he became that. Brer Rabbit, anyone?

That’s good because we’re not interested in him, either.

Lyin’ Ryan needs to be Cantorized.
