Report: Paul Ryan disavows ‘Draft Ryan’ movement

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/271839-report-ryan-disavows-draft-ryan-movement

“The Speaker has not, and does not, explicitly or implicitly, authorize, endorse or otherwise approve of the organization’s formation or activities, and he is not involved with the organization in any way,” said Timothy E. Kronquist, whose firm is representing Ryan, in a letter to the Federal Election Commission obtained by NBC News.

“Speaker Ryan has repeatedly announced publicly that he is not running for president in 2016. It is the Speaker’s sincere hope that donors and supporters are not confused by, or misled into supporting, this organization.”

Reports emerged late Thursday evening that the “Committee to Draft Speaker Ryan” had filed official paperwork with the FEC. Agency records listed David Satterfield as the organization’s founder, but gave no further details about its mission or purpose.

It's already in the cards but if it happens it will happen at the convention

It's also a signal that the candidates - the front men - are not in control here.

The Establishment calls the tunes.
