Paul Ryan: Count me out from taking on Trump at a brokered convention 

Paul Ryan isn't going to play Republican party political savior twice in a year. 

The House Speaker, who begrudgingly filled that position after John Boehner stepped down, will not be a late entry into the presidential race. 

'In addition to this being an incredibly remote scenario, the speaker has no interest in it,' Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck told Politico.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republican party's 2012 vice presidential pick, is not jumping in the presidential race, said his spokesman 

Donald Trump took a victory lap winning seven Super Tuesday states, but Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz say they're both staying in the race, hoping to deprive the frontrunner of enough delegates to clinch the nomination

Ryan, who was the Republican party's vice presidential nominee in 2012, had his name brought up by the man he replaced: Boehner. 

According to Politico, the former House Speaker 'casually mentioned in off-the-cuff conversations' that Ryan would be a solid option in the 'unlikely scenario,' as Boehner put it, that the GOP is 'unable to coalesce around a nominee before the convention and someone is needed to step up late in the game and unify the party.' 

With Donald Trump's seven Super Tuesday wins, which come after victories he received in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, the billionaire businessman has plenty of momentum to take the nomination. 

But both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are vowing to stay in, meaning that they could withhold just enough delegates so that Trump doesn't get over the 1,237 line he needs to clinch the nomination before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. 

Rubio is focusing on the upcoming delegate-rich winner-take-all states to deny Trump the delegates the frontrunner would need. 

Cruz is trying to push Rubio, along with additional GOP hopefuls John Kasich and Ben Carson, out of the race, so he scores enough delegates to rob Trump of a victory as well.

Over on Capitol Hill, Congressional Republicans are trying to walk a line between being supportive of the party and its voters but also condemning the party's frontrunner when appropriate. 

Twice now, Ryan has inserted his voice in the race. 

He spoke out against Trump's plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States.  

'Freedom of religion is a fundamental constitutional principle, it is a founding principle of this country,' Ryan said at the time. 'Normally I do not comment about what's going on in the presidential election – I will take an exception today.' 

'This is not conservatism,' Ryan continued. 'What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and, more importantly, it's not what this country stands for.' 

'Not only are there many Muslims serving in our armed forces dying for this country,' Ryan added. 'There are Muslims serving right here in the House working everyday to uphold the Constitution.'   

This week, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ryan inserted himself again, denouncing Trump for not more forcefully disavowing an endorsement from Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.  

'This party does not prey on people’s prejudices,' Ryan said. 

Last night, as Trump celebrated his victories and took questions from reporters in Florida, he was asked about the push back he was receiving from Ryan and others on Capitol Hill. 

'I'm going to get along great with Congress, OK?' Trump said. 'Paul Ryan, I don't know him well, but I'm sure I'm going to get along great with him.' 

'And if I don't?' Trump said. 'He's gonna have to pay a big price, OK?'
