BREAKING: A New Candidate May Have Just Entered The Presidential Race Time and time again, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has maintained that he was fundamentally against running for the seat he currently holds. He has also shut down rumors about his desire to run for president. Now, it looks like his promises may not be as certain as they appear. In September of last year, The Hill asked Ryan if he would run to replace Boehner. No, Ryan answered firmly. Because I dont want to be the speakerThat is a job for an empty nester. South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy stood behind Ryan in his opposition, claiming that he knew from a one-on-one conversation that what Ryan was saying was true. I ask him a while back if he would consider being the speaker, Gowdy claimed. He put his hands on my shoulders and said, I love you guys, but not enough to be your speaker. Now, hes making similar claims about being the president. In October, he stated his clear refusal to run, stating, While I am grateful for the encouragement Ive received, I will not be a candidate. His personal spokesperson backed up that statement in an appearance with NBC, and another spokesman later said, His position has not changed, and I cannot predict if it will. As we know, Ryan eventually gave into the pressure of establishment politicians to run. Its hard to see how he would turn down pushes to enter the presidential race. What do you think? Should Ryan run for president?
