This is what q posted: the speculation was that the capital H in “A clean House” was referring to Ryan leaving

#1123 April 10

Bolton cleaning house.
Out they go!
A clean House is very important.

So you think O’Rourke has a chance against Cruz? Really? Can I quote you on that in November?

The Democratic nominee for the Utah Senate seat will likely be Jenny Wilson, a Salt Lake City councilwoman and the scion of a Utah political family. On the Republican side, Mike Kennedy, a state representative, is appealing to conservatives and portraying Romney as a "Washington insider." The primary is in June.

Romney may be heavily favored, but upsets happen--as in the Alabama Senate race four months ago.

‘DO NOT REPLACE RYAN with LOSER II’

Ryan IS Loser II. If they replace him with another swampy anti-Trumper, it will be Loser III.

So when is Stealth Sessions supposed to make his big move? He already let Clapper skate on a far worse crime than anything Flynn-had-to-sell-his-house-to-pay-his-legal-bills ever did. Comey is running around free as a bird, sliming Trump in preparation for the big book tour. Mueller is burning Trump’s supporters to the ground. (Who will he persuade to work for him, after watching the Gestapo raids and bankrupting persecutions of other Trump associates?)

Is Sessions slow-walking, in hopes the Democrats take the House in November, and Nunes will finally leave him alone?

New K street lobbyist firm is likely. Ryan can continue to support the deep state and the No Trumpers.

After reading your post I see how you got your screen name.

Tell me, what’s the difference between a prosecutor and a special counselor?

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/29/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-names-prosecutor-to-investigate-fbi-allegations-could-still-appoint-second-special-counsel.html

I’ll give you a hint, a prosecutor can actually prosecute crimes...

Sessions has been AG for over 14 months. Who, besides Trump and his associates, has been ‘legally,’ hounded to within an inch of their lives?

Sure, the Republicans may suffer some loss of seats in the mid-term elections, but I still do not buy into the assertions about a “blue tsunami” coming our way. The Democrats and their liberal media cohorts may TALK a good game, but short of a really powerful defamation attack against incumbent Republicans and challengers of Democrats in normally swing districts, they simply do not have a lot going for them.

Mid-term elections are a referendum on the administration, and the best things the Democrats have going for them is Trump and this Republican Congress. Trump will make sure the Democrat base turns out, and he may well motivate much of the Republican base as well. But can the Republicans point to a whole lot of support for the President? No. People who would crawl across broken glass for the President may not be as anxious to do the same for Congressmen and Senators who have blocked Trump at every turn. As for everyone else, what has the Republican Congress done to deserve their support? Talk up the responsible governing and the Democrats throw back the ballooning deficit. Talk up the tax increases and the Democrats reply with how most of it has gone to the wealthy and corporations. Talk up the economy and the Democrats ask how many have gotten the $4000 raises that Trump promised.

There is another impact to this. By saying he's retiring, Ryan has made it clear in bold, clear neon letters that he expects the GOP to lose the House in November. What kind of impact is that going to have on fund raising? If the Republican members don't expect to keep their majority then why should contributors give their money to a losing cause? The Democrats should have a spending advantage.

In short, if the GOP expects to lose then it will likely become a self-fulfilling prophesy.

This fool is a bum who proved he should never have been in the position in the first place. Good riddance to the weak sister loser.
