Ryan is paving the way to the end of his career

That certainly seems to be the way he's headed. He seems to have a vastly over-inflated sense of his own importance, and reality doesn't seem to have registered in his world yet. I think that's the case for many GOP establishment types as well as Democrats who live in the Beltway. These people have always been out of touch.

Some in the beltway have got the message. Three quotes from the article.

“I’m listening: They’re fed up with Washington politicians,” he said. “And unfortunately I think there are some in my party who don’t get what is happening.”

“I had spent a lot of time listening to the voters and their concerns and how they felt about Donald Trump, and it really opened my eyes and made me realize that Donald Trump is having a conversation with the American people that many of us, especially us Republicans, have absolutely missed for years and years,” Ellmers said. “We in the Republican Party have talked about how we need to bring more people into the party, do a better job increasing votes and connecting to the American people, and here’s Donald Trump doing it and yet there are many in Washington who are kind of rejecting that.”

“I just don’t think any of them realize… the reason Trump is the nominee is because people are mad at Republicans in Congress for not getting anything done,” he said. “We brag about a lot of stuff we do, but most of the time members are sent home to defend their votes rather than going home and bragging about them. ... And they’re looking at Trump for a change.”

That’s from two in the House leadership, and an embattled moderate.

Ryan must be braindead if they are willing to say this in public and be quoted by name.

Maybe all the begging for him to become speaker went to his head.

Along with ignoring the will of the voters. Typical establishment.
