[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday speculated that one reason Speaker of the House Paul Ryan disavowed any interest in the 2016 Republican nomination is because it’s “not worth having.” Talking to reporter Nancy Cordes, co-host Charlie Rose suggested, “Is it possible he thinks this is not a nomination worth having in this political year?” Cordes eagerly agreed, “Absolutely.” She added, “He's in the position to a lot of influence and he is in a position to sort of position himself maybe even as soon as 2020 as kind of the alternative to the Trump wing of the party.”
