Its purpose is to keep Ryan's name in the news and smooth the way for his Presidency.

But he won't accept the nomination in Cleveland, and he's not going to be elected President.

Instead, they're going to run a third party if Trump wins, or steal it from Trump so that he runs as a third, then use the corrupted voting system to make it a contested election where nobody wins a majority of electoral votes.

Then, the election goes to Congress. Congress protects themselves by not voting for the new President, and Speaker Paul Ryan takes over by default, without a single vote.

They are trying to smooth Ryan's accession to the Presidency, not his election.
