Former House Speaker John A. Boehner said current Speaker Paul D. Ryan should be the Republican nominee for president if the party fails to chose a candidate on the first ballot at its national convention this summer in Cleveland.

    Yes, he is. That’s why he doesn’t want a Cruz presidency. All the more reason to get Ted in! Besides, he was all ready to hand Obama his Gang of 8 Bill to sign and Ted stopped it cold. THAT is really his complaint! McConnell & Boehner are truly democrats…not to mention the majority of others that side with them.
