I may have been way too optimistic a week ago when I posted that it was “hard to come up with a realistic scenario that ends with Paul Ryan (R-WI) as speaker of the House of Representatives in the next Congress.”
Never mind the next Congress: It now looks like Ryan could be deposed or forced to resign this Congress in the lame duck session that begins a week after Election Day.
In other words, Ryan may no longer be speaker about four weeks from now.
I say this after hearing from several highly reliable sources that the House Freedom Caucus is seriously considering doing to Ryan what it did to former Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) by threatening him with a privileged motion to vacate the chair. If a majority of the House supported the motion, Ryan would be removed immediately as speaker.
Getting 218 House Republicans to vote for a motion to vacate won’t be easy.

Me too! And I will stay an Indy until a new party is formed around Donald Trump, or the GOP is purged of all the establishment
RINOs.
Ryan looks like a man who knows he sold his soul to Soros and the NWO for 30 pieces of silver. The fixed stare, the dark circles around his eyes, evil takes it’s toll.
Bump that till the cows come home!
