I like Paul Ryan better than everyone else in the race, but he's not running. His speaking tours are aimed at holding the party's majorities in Congress.

It's a prudent move considering the damage Trump is threatening. For the sake of the parties and the country the executive branch needs to be nerfed.

>And his office continued to beat back the not-exactly-library-voice whisper campaign favoring a coup at the Republican convention in July that would elevate Mr. Ryan to the top of the ticket.

He ain't gunning for the 2016 election, but he is setting the groundwork for his later career and possibly revitalizing the GOP.

Ryan isn't stupid, he's already repeatedly declined to run for the 2016 election because he doesn't want to get caught in that train-wreck. But you better believe he'll make sure to be standing in stark contrast of this circus by 2020.

Ryan won't run. He isn't stupid, and know it's not his time. He can't unite the party as it is and has very few brag-worthy accomplishments to his name. He will probably run later in his life though.

Make no mistake, there is no white knight establishment candidate coming to the rescue for 2016. Kasich won't get shit, and if he does the party will revolt. It's Ted v Trump this July.
