Paul Ryan's ambitious plan...

He says he doesn't want to run for President and I am sure he means it for this election cycle. He understands that the odds against the Republican are great this time around.

However, Paul Ryan is looking at a bigger picture. He is laying the groundwork for a run in 2020. By simply having his name mentioned as a possible candidate in this cycle qualifies him for a run in the next election cycle. He is playing long-term politics. I believe him when he says he doesn't want the nomination this time around.

Ryan is far more dangerous than Drumpf or Cruz, because he "seems" reasonable.

When in reality he is not at all.

This country cannot and will not survive another 4 year term of a republican in the White House, no matter who it is, or isn't.

Ryan isn't off the field yet ... I am more an optimist ... this country WILL survive; the question is, will anyone want to live here.
