Could Paul Ryan Become The Republican Nominee? Forecasters expect Ted Cruz to win the Wisconsin Primary on Tuesday. Donald Trump leads in the delegate count by a wide margin. So why is everyone talking about Paul Ryan's chances of ending up as the GOP nominee? A new report by Politico's Mike Allen has sparked plenty of conversation among DC's media and political circles.

"And I said it last night on television, and I would hope that they will not use that word and they'll take it down."
