Former House Speaker John Boehner says that current House Speaker Paul Ryan would be the perfect guy to be the Republican presidential nominee. Never mind that nobody really cares what Boehner thinks anymore, or that Ryan hasn't even been able to unite House Republicans to pass a damned budget.
At the Republican convention, anybody can be nominated, Boehner said at a conference in Boca Raton, Fla.
If we dont have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, Im for none of the above, Boehner said. "They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So Im for none of the above. Im for Paul Ryan to be our nominee.
You know, I haven't given any thought to this stuff," Ryan said Tuesday night in an exclusive interview at the Capitol. "People say, 'What about the contested convention?' I say, well, there are a lot of people running for president. We'll see. Who knows."
