He's a smart man.
Frankly, I have a great deal of respect for the guy. He and I are far apart on the issue of amnesty for illegals, but I certainly agree with him on most things. And, he's intelligent, articulate and above all... an American through and through.
But, he needs to stay out of the Speakership; now is not his time. The House Republicans have become dysfunctional and divided; they have no coherent platform upon which to stand and conduct business. It's a continuing battle of the establishment hierarchy vs. the American Patriots and, unfortunately, Ryan is identified as being with the establishment, whether he fits the category or not. What they need right now is someone who is a good leader, a uniter and not identifiable with either faction... someone who can successfully bridge the gap.
I think Paul would become a lightening rod for the establishment. Certainly, John Boehner would back him, and therein lies the rub; Boehner-style leadership sucks.
That having been said, I'm not recommending or endorsing anyone in particular.
Once again, the Republicans find themselves in a position to accomplish some really get things, but history shows that they will choose to shoot themselves in the foot as opposed to grabbing the torch of American leadership this country so desperately needs.
Come on, fellows... put the country first for a change.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
