House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is expected to hold a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters on Tuesday afternoon, where he will reportedly rule out becoming the party’s 2016 presidential nominee.
An aide said that Ryan will “rule himself out and put this to rest once and for all.”
Ryan will address the media at 3:15 p.m. at the RNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The speaker has repeatedly said that he will not seek the nomination at a brokered Republican convention.
Unless he does the LBJ “…I will not seek, nor will I ACCEPT…” speech, this changes nothing.
tg and I hope he means it because I want…
• ted cruz drop out.
i don’t want any libertarian like mitt romney, rand paul, carly fiorina, ted cruz, paul ryan, scott walker, jim gilmore, rick santorum, nor rick perry!
i had to vote against romney last election the last minute when he switched to libertarianism the last moment and got libertarian idealist paul ryan! i regret it, but i now would do it again if they repeat ryan or romney. i actually made the right decision. they’re two faced.
for the moment, im borderline on jindal, trump, and rubio. if they back or run with a libertarian like cruz, romney, ryan, or any of the above mentioned, im against them.
i like ben carson, chris christie, mike huckabee, george pataki, and john kasich!
i will support anyone that has them on their ticket!
john kasich, a real winner, gl!
Just like he ruled out the Speakership?
Weasel wording But are they TPM’s or Ryan’s weasel-wording?
Riiiiiight.
