If the ticket flops, Cruz can always claim it was because he, a "true conservative" wasn't #1, & run again in '20. <br />As for Ryan, I suspect he'd give up the Speakership if he thought his odds of winning the general were decent - which they probably would be, given the media's idiotically benign view of him & given his absence from the R primary slagfest.CHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409212720220729669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-56712680987178600732016-04-01T05:05:46.057-04:002016-04-01T05:05:46.057-04:00"how the overall process works in a simple, e..."how the overall process works in a simple, easy to understand format," - it had better be simple...

If Ryan wants the insider position to It's His Turn 2020, Veep to someone like Cruz sends any number of Wrong Messages, including his losing not just the election, but that status, massive gobs of good will with the party establishment OF WHICH HE IS NOW CLEARLY THE UNQUESTIONED LEADER, and any and all power platforms within Congress.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-24716198797920439292016-03-31T15:44:47.184-04:002016-03-31T15:44:47.184-04:00I think there's a pretty good chance they'...I think there's a pretty good chance they'll successfully sidestep Trump and end up with a Ryan/Cruz ticket. If so, I'd wager that by and large, the R base (including the vast majority of Trump supporters) will fall into line within a month at most. As for the November outcome in such a case, let's just say I wouldn't bet the farm on HRC (assuming the D's remain hell-bent to nominate her).
