Ryan channels Sherman
"If nominated I will not run," Sherman allegedly said, or words to that effect. "If elected I will not serve."
House Speaker Paul Ryan will not accept the presidential nomination of the Republican Party if GOP leaders seek him as a savior candidate amid a contested convention this summer, an aide said Wednesday.
“The speaker is grateful for the support, but he is not interested.
"He will not accept a nomination and believes our nominee should be someone who ran this year,” spokeswoman AshLee Strong said.
The statement comes after an avalanche of speculation about Ryan as a possible compromise candidate for GOP establishment leaders concerned about Donald Trump’s march to the party nod.
Ryan is a deep dyed conservative chosen to succeed John Boehner and placate the House Republican radicals.
You know, the people who want to shut everything down, default on the national debt, and impeach Obama for his fake birth certificate and for being such a commie rat fink.
Ryan opposes ethnic cleansing and supports a pathway to fully legal status for all those illegals, though not to citizenship because that would effectively reward the illegal entry, turning it into a kind of line-jumping.
And he is a strong upholder of free trade who urges cuts to earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare.
He has opposed slamming the door to Muslims and has condemned Trump for not denouncing the violence at his rallies or quickly condemning David Duke and the KKK.
In short, he is just the sort of Wall Street conservative from whom Trump is taking away the Republican Party.
The guy whose views are closest to his own who "ran this year" was Marco Rubio, and Trump has just flushed him out of the running, crushing him even in his home state.
