The suggestion, offered as “rumor mill” by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), drew an immediate dismissal from Ryan’s office.

Or maybe he really is not planning to resign.

May be interesting that the WashPost rushed to squelch this rumor...

Anyway, next session will be missing a lot of RINOs. There may indeed be a change at the top.

This RINO POS needs to be forced out after sponsoring this disaster omnibus bill and blindsiding Trump.
