IF, as many of us strongly suspect, Ryan expects to be crowned at the convention after they suddenly change the rules and make the convention wide open, he won’t care about losing his seat in Congress.

The best thing we can do now is make sure that we WILL NOT ACCEPT crowning a scummy little king-boy. If they think that we’ll turn out for Lyin’ Ryan, they’ll be surprised with how many millions of people let him twist in the wind as the world’s biggest loser! (Hint: Romney times 10.)

Letting the nomination be awarded to the loser Ryan will not be a “twist in the wind” moment — unless one counts the Tyburn Tree displays around the country, holding the last earthly remains of the ‘string pullers’. It would be an act of war.

I know the pro-Cruz delegates coming from the 3rd District in Georgia and their Alternates. They are Cruz supporters, but would never put up with a Ryan putsch. The top vote getter's brother was a delegate last time, and he withheld his vote after he was not allowed to vote for anyone other than Romney (he was supposed to be a Ron Paul delegate).

I believe they are representative of pro-Cruz delegates throughout the country, who combined with the Trump supporters, EASILY form a majority. With 17 candidates, we got to see home many are really Establishment voters. The answer is about 25% at most (John Ellis Bush and Rubio being the bulk).
