BREAKING REPORT: Paul Ryan Will Announce Retirement From Congress…

Expect An ‘After Easter’ Bombshell Announcement From Speaker Ryan

Editor’s Note: Story just hit the wires a few minutes after midnight.

By Myra Adams, Townhall

Mark your calendars! As if there isn’t enough daily drama swirling around Washington, in early or mid-April there is likely to be an announcement that will titillate the nation’s capital.

According to a frontline GOP strategist (name asked to be withheld) “after Easter” is when House Speaker Paul Ryan will announce his decision whether or not to run for reelection in Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district. Speaker Ryan, age 48, has represented his home district since winning the seat in 1998 at age 28.

Ryan’s 2018 reelection decision is imminent given Wisconsin’s filing deadline of June 1 with an August 14 primary. Thus, April is the expected time frame when this strategist believes the speaker will drop his bombshell.

Wisconsin’s 1st district is the most southeastern in the state. It is situated along the eastern portion of the northern Illinois border encompassing Kenosha and Racine counties including portions of Milwaukee, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha counties.

In 2016, Ryan won the district with 65 percent of the vote, a slight increase from 63 percent in 2014. A vast improvement from 2012 when Ryan won 54.9 percent after his name appeared twice on his district’s ballot —first as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee on Mitt Romney’s presidential ticket and as a congressional candidate for reelection.

Upon making the announcement in April, Ryan, in his role as speaker of the House, will immediately become a lame duck speaker with his power significantly diminished — the reason why Ryan is waiting as long as politically feasible.

Why we can expect an 'after Easter' bombshell announcement from Speaker Ryan. It’s likely that the “wake-up call” Speaker Ryan warned his colleagues about this week is also a personal alarm that says, “Time to start your second career.”https://t.co/kAlTiZdmEH

If true (and l hope it is) it means he believes we are losing the house.

There's no reason to believe otherwise. Today's congressional GOP are the most cowardly gaggle of emasculated pussies to ever darken Capitol Hill and have shown themselves completely void of the ability to lead.

The Democrats are going to run a bunch of people who talk like Trump and they're going to win. The GOP will run a bunch of establishment stooges who remind everyone of the people that Trump beat and they're going to lose.

And then after they're sworn in in 2019 the RATs will throw off the façade and line up behind Speaker Pelosi. The first order of business will be the Impeachment of Trump.

McConnell will smile.

If you mean Sam Johnson (TX) that would be a mistake to place him on that list. He is in his eighties, just lost his wife and he is very tired.

IIRC, Peter Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash”, has a new book that exposes McConnell, Ryan and a host of D’rats in dubious financial windfalls - aka bribes.

Your statement makes it sound like you are glad the gop-e is losing the House.

"If true (and l hope it is) it means he believes we are losing the house."

And Ryan has certainly been doing his part to help lose the House. Too much of the GOP leadership is closer to the Rats than the Republican base.
