GOP savior? Rep. Paul Ryan has been pretty quick and pretty adamant to squelch any talk about him running for Speaker of the House, since Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy threw the House into mayhem by pulling out of the running. Even McCarthy told National Review on Thursday, “I personally want Paul Ryan.” But almost as quickly — within the hour — Ryan’s office blasted out a statement saying thanks, but no thanks. "While I am grateful for the encouragement I’ve received, I will not be a candidate,” he said. That might be changing. BREAKING: BOEHNER IS PERSONALLY ASKING RYAN TO STEP UP AND BE SPEAKER, have spoken twice today by phone... — Robert Costa (@costareports) October 8, 2015 Boehner has told Ryan that he is the only person who can unite GOP at this crisis moment.
