House Speaker Paul D. Ryan is on the verge of a reckoning with House conservatives that threatens to end his speakership and extinguish his own future as a national political leader.
The intraparty fight is set to begin in the days after the Nov. 8 election, when Ryan (R-Wis.) will be under immediate pressure from approximately 40 hard-line House conservatives frustrated with his handling of spending fights and shifting position on GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump. The conservatives are eyeing a November leadership election and December spending deadline to determine how Ryan can lead Republicans — or if he can lead them at all.
Conservatives have no plans to compromise next year with Hillary Clinton, if she wins the White House, and Democrats capture the Senate. They are pushing Ryan to hold the line on spending and other matters, even if it means continued partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill. Some members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus have crafted a list of demands — including deep spending cuts, changes to House rules and a promise to vote only on bills that have majority Republican support — in exchange for their support.

He should never have seen his first year.
Nobody else wanted it
Based on recently released documents, Ryan should be awaiting trial right now on public corruption charges.
While your thought has some validity, the fact is given the array of congressmen, Ryan was the choice of the majority.
The people elect a very diverse Republican congress and that congress expressed the will of the people as Paul Ryan.
“He should never have seen his first year.”
WE need to kick out more RINOS and send a truckload of testicles to the Congress.
Maybe now Ryan will finally get over himself.
I am amazed that this (D) in charge of the (R) is even being challenged.
I want our ‘blank’ check book out of his thieving hands.
I hope the bum idiot loses.
I’d like to see Louie Gohmert as Speaker!
Get rid of the bastard NOW! Why wait?
Why in the world should this disloyal enabler for Obama get your Congressman’s vote for Speaker? Make sure he/she knows that Ryan has disqualified himself from that roll in the next Congress.
Congress is in recess until after the election.
Oh, he is no bum or idiot... he is representative of our political system that uses and abuses we the people at his will... He is worse than either Obama or Hillry, at least they are up front about who they are... Lyin Ryan is a 'wolf' in the sheep's clothing. May he rot in hell.
He had better not see a second term. The POS needs to go.
No second term for Ryan. Disappointment.
I agree. This guy is such a smarmy degenerate. He is a traitor to his electorate and to the Constitution.
