Paul Ryan said he plans to remain as speaker and not call an early leadership election, but well-wired Republicans tell Jonathan Swan and me that Ryan may be forced out sooner.
What we're hearing: One source close to leadership told us: "Scuttlebutt is that Paul will have to step down from speakership soon. Members won’t follow a lame duck, he’ll have no leverage to cut deals, and the last thing they need in this environment is 6 months of palace intrigue and everyone stabbing everyone else in the back."
A senior GOP House member predicted this about Ryan’s future: “He will be gone by the end of July.”

On any lame duck legislation he can plead: “Do it for me!” LOL.

Yes, a card laid is a card played. Ryan will now be “eaten” by his own.

Paul Ryan should step down now.
Republicans shouldn't have to let him screw them any more than he has already.

Depends on who replaces him. If he anoints another RINO which seems likely it will be just like when Boehner left.

Regardless, who would be best to replace him?
No RINOs, globalists, neocons, nevertrumpers, or cult members of the bush clan, need apply.

This just keeps getting better. Maybe Ryan underestimated the ambitition of his fellow Permanent Political Classers. These are not people who want to wait until January to find out who wins the golden ring.

Never forget that Axios is a libtard site, which enjoys stirring up trouble amongst GOPers.

Yes, a card laid is a card played.Excellent analogy, kinda like, 'Ya can't un-ring the bell'.
Once you say you are done, get the hell out.
It happens in business all the time.

Steve King or Devin Nunes should replace.
McCarthy is a backstabbing RINO.
To: Helicondelta
He should do the graceful thing and step down now.
Enjoy his last 6 months in office, without having to be head ass-clown.
