The author thinks the Republican convention will be a brokered convention and that Ryan will be chosen by those in power in the Republican Party.

"Ryan seems to be the one Republican politician who has a chance of uniting the party behind him and presenting a credible challenge to Hillary Clinton in the general election."

This is the newest desperate scheme of the GOPe.

[Company Man]

Oh yeah, that’s really going to motivate the base to GOTV. Not.

[Vigilanteman]

Folding like a cheap tent to B. ObaMao is not the way to unite the GOP. Ryan has about as much chance of uniting the party as Ronald Reagan, D.D.Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln do of descending from heaven to do the same job.

does this need a barf alert or an easter bunny alert, or maybe both?

An ad on the radio for Pest World just mentioned cock roaches when I clicked on this thread.

Oh, God no!!

[Blue Collar Christian]

I think GOP voters are so fed up with the e that Ryan couldn’t beat the apparently almost on the ropes Broom Hillary.

[MCOAvalanche]

So then what is the point of the primary process? Just have a poll done at the convention if a non-candidate can be named the nominee.

presenting a credible challenge to Hillary Clinton

Designated Repub loser.

[txrefugee]

Hahaha...talk about desperation!

Well, he does deserve a reward for delivering Congress to Obama, much as Leslie King got the presidency for participating in the Warren Commission coverup.

[Rodm]

Wow, these guys at Market Watch must be smoke’n weed.

[ModelBreaker]

That is about as likely as Nancy Pelosi getting the nod for the Dems.

Only once in American history has the losing Vice Presidential nominee later gone on to win a Presidential election. That was FDR, who was the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in 1920.

If the party were to select a former VP nominee for their Presidential nominee, why Ryan? Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, and Bob Dole are available. George H. W. Bush is also eligible since he only served one term as President.

Man, the GOP-E is really losing it. They are approaching the Baghdad Bob realm.

[Tennessee Nana]

I’ve heard the same around Wisconsin — specifically from my cvery conservative Congressman who isn’t “in love with any of the GOP candidates”. He said that Mon. night.
