It's very simple Boehner after realizing that he couldn't retain his seat as Speaker of the House tried to push Kevin McCarthy as the new Speaker and when that failed went with plan B Paul Ryan. It is important to note that both Boehner and Eric Cantor who was supposed to be the next Speaker before being primaried out have remained in Washington after leaving Congress and are there to help “guide” Speaker Ryan with the proper approach to legislation. Ryan couldn't get ObamaCare repeal done because the Chamber of Commerce wants to move to single payer to get health care off the corporate books so he made sure to make it unpalatable to House Conservatives.This not only keeps ObamaCare in place but weakens Trump so they reach across the aisle to move forward the GOPe agenda. Now if they were pushing a comprehensive amnesty I mean immigration bill you can bet your last dollar that Speaker Ryan would be fighting hard to make sure not only can we legalize border jumpers but that they will be able to chain migrate their whole families too.

As conspiracies go, this is a tasty one.
But my problem is that Ryan may have tanked his future chances (in his own mind!) of ever becoming POTUS.
Ryan is like Bill Clinton. He wants to BE SOMEBODY. No interest in actually DOING ANYTHING.
