Politico reported Thursday that Ryan has told his “closest confidants” that his current term as speaker will be his last.

Do it now! Do it now!!
I'll believe it when he does. But it is a nice thought.
If we all think Ryan’s credibility is nil today imagine what it will be by 2018. It only makes sense he’ll bail.
Ryan knows he has screwed the Republican party bad enough to where they will lose the House in 2018. So now he has had the taste of power being Speaker, he will resign if he cant have the post.
Why wait? and have us continue to endure your poor leadership skills and leftist agenda.
Dem party will miss him.
Well, with the Republicans losing the congressional majority next year being a sure thing with a president whose popularity is in the mid to low 30s why stick around to be minority leader?
Considering retiring?
After McConnell, Ryan, McCain et al give the entire apparatus back to the Globalist UniParty, they will land in comfortable consulting gigs for a few pieces of silver.
I doubt it. Fake News. When you’re a Swamp Mortorboat Driver, why give it up? And who’s the replacement in his district? He won the district hands down for a so-called red area..
In this case, there’s at least one serious GOP who was intending to primary Ryan, and I think he might have issues in winning his district.
The end of Ryan in DC? No. I think he’ll be on some foundation group and wait out the end of Trump era, and return as some Treasury Secretary.
I remember him saying he didn’t want to be Speaker. Then all of a sudden he was *recruited*. Maybe he thinks he’ll be *encouraged* to run again because the country needs him because his ego is that big. He’s such a worm.
When talking here in WI to perfectly excellent political, in the know folks.... Ryan has some of them snowed. I do NOT understand it. All politics local.
He hates Trump. The Dems always, always, always stick together. But this heard mentality must stop. That is what Mitchy and Pauly hate. The good old boys are starting to read the tea leaves. This is also why they LOVED it when old Lois Lerner bashed and trashed the TParty peeps.
They weren’t against it. They were all IN on it.
Who didn’t know about the payouts to slush fund scum?
Who thinks it’s ok for Congress to keep Cadillac health care while the country burns down on Bammy care?
On and On we go..... Sickening. They are still flabbergasted that Trump won. We are not going anywhere.
Ryan should go.
PS: McCainiac, I wish him no harm, healthwise, but I loathe the man’s politics. HE was involved with Dossier, scum Rosenberg yesterday KNOWS the FBI paid for that thing and used it for FISA warrents. So does Mitch and Ryan, wanna bet.
Gotta stop.... blood pressure you know. :)
<<< Dem party will miss him. >>>
Yes, they certainly will miss Paul Ryan. He has set conservative issues on the shelf his whole tenure, stalled and bitched about everything Trump, and in Wisconsin behaved like a spoiled brat rejecting Trump from appearing on stage with him at some sort of rally.
The DEMS and Romney gang loved it. Ryan was a hero.
Best news I’ve heard of the month, fantastic..!!
somehow I fear it’s too good to be true, but both fingers crossed..!!
Jim Jordan for Speaker!!!!
Paul, Paul, Paul...what have YOU done?
Oh BTW, wasn’t there someone predicting another axe was going to drop and it was someone whose name started with a ‘P’??? I think I saw that somewhere here yesterday.
I agree! Good choice!
