Paul Ryan Won't Rule Out Accepting GOP Nomination: 'We'll See'

I've been expecting this since the day he became Speaker.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Tuesday he wouldn't categorically rule out accepting the Republican Party's presidential nomination if it came to that in a deadlocked convention.

Asked about the possibility in an interview with CNBC, Ryan said, "I haven't given any thought to this stuff."

"People say, 'What about the contested convention?' I say, well, there are a lot of people running for President. We'll see. Who knows," the Wisconsin congressman said.

The remarks were published as frontrunner Donald Trump further consolidated his lead with decisive primary wins in Florida, North Carolina and Illinois.
