Amid extraordinary Republican infighting over Donald Trump, the word from House Speaker Paul Ryan is nope, he's not running for president.
The professed lack of interest from Ryan, R-Wis., came Friday in a letter from a lawyer representing him to the Federal Election Commission. The note by Timothy E. Kronquist disavows the Committee to Draft Speaker Ryan, a political action committee that filed papers with the FEC on Thursday.
"The speaker has not, and does not, explicitly or implicitly, authorize, endorse, or otherwise approve of the organization's formation or activities, and he is not involved with the organization in any way," the letter says. "Speaker Ryan has repeatedly announced publicly that he is not running for president in 2016." ...

He and Mitch are too busy trying to stop Trump (and Cruz) without getting caught.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people? If you wanted to stop Mr Trump you should have started in June when he did. The fact that you dismissed him and took him as a joke until you had to start counting the body bags of your failures is your fault. Too freeeeking late losers deal with it.

Yeah, he wasn't interested in becoming speaker of the house either.
damned liar.
And the superpac formed for the purpose of securing him as the republican presidential candidate for 2016 is a damned coincidence too.
I have had enough of this bullshit.
To: Olog-hai
That’s because he’s going to be Mitten’s VP pick at the brokered convention he is helping engineer.

They wanted Trump to slow Cruz early, and, as you say, figured he would just fade out.
Now Trump and Cruz are the Party’s top two candidates.
That’s truly an ‘epic fail’.

Ryan could campaign on amnesty for illegal immigration, continued chain immigration and cutting benefits to retired veterans.

That’s because he couldn’t get arrested much less nominated.

I remember his long list of demands to become Speaker. His presidential list would be staggering.
