Paul Ryan Emerging Out of Ted Cruz-Created Contested Convention as Nominee Dominate Wisconsin
Breitbart ^ | April 02, 2016 | JULIA HAHN

As Capitol Hill aides have explained, amongst Washington’s GOP political class Ryan is regarded as the “Republican Jesus.”

Indeed, National Review, which helped put the third world migration enthusiast Paul Ryan into the Speaker’s office, seemed to embrace the idea of nudging him into the Oval Office. National Review’s deputy managing editor penned a piece entitled,

“Paul Ryan for President!” writing: “One can imagine a case where Trump and Cruz control 60 to 70 percent of the vote between them, and neither one will budge, and no other candidate or boss will consider helping either one. Then it will be time for a respected and inoffensive candidate to offer a contrast to all the strong personalities in the Republican race, and Ryan is nothing if not Mr. Acceptable.”

“Speaker Paul Ryan is emerging as the Republican’s biggest counterweight to Donald Trump,” The Hill wrote in January.

Since Trump’s philosophy is so opposite of Ryan’s, if Trump were to win Wisconsin, it would be seen as a wholesale rejection of Ryan Republicanism. Losing Wisconsin would be politically devastating for Ryan and would make it exceedingly difficult for him to emerge out of the contested convention. As such, Wisconsin is a must-win for Ryan via a proxy of his policy viewpoints, Ted Cruz.

Paul Ryan and corporate media have sought to frame the GOP Civil War of voters versus donors and donor proxies (i.e. Fox News, Republican publications, and various corporate-owned radio networks) as a battle waged over something as frivolous as candidates’ “tone” rather than the substantive policy divisions between the electorate and the Party’s corporate funders.

“Ryan Republicanism” a.k.a “Globalism.”

Paul Ryan can go to hell.

The fact Lyin’ Ryan got a standing ovation at CPAC speaks volumes of how far that organization has fallen.

Paul Ryan, they may as well draft Bernie Sanders instead. They’ll have a better chance of me boting for Bernie then Ryan

Breaking News is weird today.

If 60 or 70% of the delegates are the type of people who are loyal to Cruz or Trump, then even after the first round, there is no way that these same people are ever going to vote for Ryan.

An editor's job is never done and good editing was needed here to express the author's take at the outset.

Despite her glowing for Ryan title, eventually she writes:...sought to frame the GOP Civil War of voters versus donors and donor proxies as a battle waged over ...[the] candidates’ “tone” rather than the substantive policy divisions between the electorate and the Party’s corporate funders.

From this once concludes that the author is seriously anti-Ryan and the whole movement. A better title would have kept this article from starting off sounding as though she is saying thank God for our Jesus savior Ryan.

I’m not sure you are entirely accurate in that. Just take a look at the poll coming out showing Trump with 37% of the Ind vote. Cruz might be getting some anti-Trump votes, sure, but I think Trump is stronger than is currently thought.

After Cruz pulls the RINO sled to a brokered convention we will get Ryan or Jebito.

I will write in Trump every election from now until death.

And my offspring will do the same.

And their offspring.

Not kidding.

I think it's Jeb Bush's turn to be designated loser.
