Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) told a local news station that there is a “rumor” that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will resign soon, stepping up speculation about the Speaker’s political future.

“The rumor mill is that Paul Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and that Steve Scalise will be the new Speaker,”

I sure hope that my rep, Steve Scalise, doesn’t get the gig. He used to be a good representative for our district, but since he’s became the Whip, he has to go along with the speaker’s agenda and now doesn’t vote necessarily with our wishes. He was one of the turncoats who voted for the Omnibus bill last week, and I know he wouldn’t have done that if he wasn’t part of the leadership.

I kind of like the guy. He’s not nearly the douche McConnel is.

But, he doesn’t want to change his world.

They can kick out the Speaker anytime there are enough votes to call for a new Speaker. AND remember the Speaker does NOT have to be a member of the US Congress. Newt's name was bandied about when the "son of a bartender" quit abrupt(Zero's golfing buddie), and Paul Rino filled the gap. It was said the Freedom Caucus could not decide who they wanted and Paul Rino first said he didn't want it and wouldn't accept the nomination unless his three demands were met (one was no weekend work - hell they don't put in 40 now!) - then Rino backed down and capitulated.

I was under the impression that he was in a swing district.

If Ryan resigns then it means he will run against Trump in 2020.

If Ryan resigns now, it means he won’t get blamed if the GOP loses the House in 2018 and he has a year and a half to get his Presidential campaign together.

And the GOP establishment love this guy.

Yeah, I think Ryan is running against Trump in 2020.

Really, would you trade a Dem majority to get rid of “worthless RINOs”? Better not, as Trump will be impeached, and otherwise subjected to endless investigations.

There are no circumstances under which we want the Dems to win the majority.

Should be horsewhipped, tarred and feathered and hauled to the border (south) on a rail.

I don’t f-—ing care. Ryano is POS. All POS need to go. Get it? Are you one of those Re-puke-again Thugs? Fear doesn’t work on me pal.

"I Call B.S. Paul Ryan is the Hyman Roth of RINOs...the same “retirement” rumor for 2 years now."

Good call!

After his collusion with McConnell and the Chamber of zcommerce to sucker punch Trump with his Omnibus he is busy loading his ill gotten gains into his off shore accounts and doesn’t need a job any more.
He may never show his face again.

Respectfully........anyone who wants a Dem majority is a fool. It gives them a leg up on re-apportionment, it means impeachment of Trump and endless frustration of the Trump agenda. Trump says he needs friends in Congress, and Dems are NOT friends.

So.... I think you should care, BIG TIME.

Jason Chaffetz (sp?) has also done very well with FNC and is very open about explaining matters that occur in Congress.
