The big news of the week is that Paul Ryan will not seek nor accept the GOP nomination in 2016. It has the pundits on the MSM stage jerking off at the prospects of speculation that they excel at during these times.
I personally, do not think that his denial is at all the final word….but I have been mistaken before and there is a possibility that may be the case with this situation.
The magazine, The American Conservative, does not agree with me and has cobered the fantasy of Ryan becoming the nominee….
Politico reports that Paul Ryan isn’t running a phantom campaign for president despite some appearances to the contrary:Ryan’s orbit firmly believes that, in a few months, everyone will look at him.
Speculation about Ryan’s intentions strikes me as little more than this year’s version of the 2012 fantasy candidate gossip that a few pundits indulged in last time. During the 2012 cycle, we kept hearing from Bill Kristol et al. that it wasn’t too late for the field to include more candidates, and one name after another was floated to stave off the boredom of Romney’s inevitable victory. This year the outcome is much less certain, but the desire to find a new candidate late in the process is still there. Ryan was the subject of such speculation in 2011 and again in 2014 and 2015, so it was probably bound to start up again now that it looks as if there really could be a contested convention. But it still doesn’t make sense, not least because Ryan seems genuinely unwilling to fill the role that is being created for him.

I can see why he might decline the nomination…..I mean if he accepted and was beat in 2016 then his chances for a later run might be sadly limited…..after all anyone self-centered enough to spend that much time body building would take a massive hit to his ego…..
Make NO mistake…Ryan wants to be president…he may not want to admit to it….but he wants it more than a bacon cheeseburger.
If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve….that is until the next time! dru
I agree with you. In 4 years he will likely throw his name into the ring, along with 37 other potential presidential wannabees in the Republican circus.
That will be why he may not run….if he accepts and loses then it will be twice a loser and the “faithful” will look beyond him.
Paul Who?….

Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
Ryan’s biggest problems are:
1) He’s the leftovers from a bad meal. Last time, he played 2nd banana to a soundly beaten Romney.
2) If he has half a brain, which is generous on my part, he doesn’t want to jeopardize his current good gig for a long-shot run against the Hillary-Tron 2016.
3) He sucks, but that’s never stopped anybody before.
No, they need a guy without a job to lose. They need a guy with solid name recognition. Or, at least a guy like who has scored some Delegates this year. But unlike Little Marco, that guy must have to have won his own State. Since Jeb! isn’t even going to the convention (like the idiot surrender monkey he’s become), the “least worst” option right now is…..K-Suck!
Well, next to Sedate Me, that is. He announced his willingness to accept the Republican nomination a day, or two, ago.
Ryan can bench press a VW but can he read a book?
Other than The Fountainhead? Probably not.
Ryan couldn’t bench press Sedate Me’s dick. (aka the Volks Shagging)
Select Sedate Me GOP Nominee 2016!
OOooo my gawd. THIS was just the perfect wake me up today. Sedate, you make me wish I’d registered as an independent instead of a Demo. I’m writing in Sanders, if it comes to that but Sedate Me as a write-in is almost precious! dru
No, I’m not looking to “Steal the Bern”. I’m just looking to steal the Republican nomination at the convention. Because whoever gets it, will have stolen it. It’s just a question of “How?”
So, it might as well be me.
hee hee hee. THANX! I’ll vote for you….how? dru
