Did nothing of value as Speaker. Didn't discourage at least half of those looking to retire into sticking around another two years where we could have maintained control.
He lined up his K Street job and started throwing bombs towards Trump (which he also did a few days before the 2016 election).
Trump worked and saved the Senate and made the difference in some key governor races. Tonight was not a Trump defeat.
Part of it was history -- midterm election usually results in out of power party winning. But this was winnable.
Ryan blew the House.

This was a coordinated plot by the cheap labor express. Ryan and Bill Schuster will be paid handsomely for the roles they played.
I have no love for Ryan, but the blame goes to those inCREDibly stupid people who voted for demonRATs; those who think voting for these spawns of satan will somehow benefit them. These are the people who BEG for there to be an IQ test in order to vote at all.
Well, now they control the purse strings. Besides entertaining themselves with endless “investigations”, they will cut SS to fund welfare, take away the tax cuts, increase taxes on everything, and continue their attempt to destroy small business and the middle class. It’s what leftists do.
Way to go, all you morons, dimwits and retards who voted for demons. You deserve what you get. Unfortunately, you will drag the rest of us with you.
Ryan takes a share of the blame.... him and a bunch of others that turned tail thinking that this election cycle was going to crush Republicans... the blue wave was never real...but then the media is also responsible ...the beating drum from the corrupt media has clearly had an impact on low information voters.
My first comment tonight was PAUL RYAN, MITCH MC CONNELL. For sure!
I’d love to have a few more senators. Romney is now McCain
Blame goes to Ryan, too. Where was he this election cycle? Seriously! I haven’t seen him anywhere.
Contrast to 1994. Newt Gingrich was everywhere, and he nationalized the House races. And whether you credit Newt or not for the House takeover in 1994 (there is a debate), he was out there!
Paul Ryan? Haven’t seen hide nor hare of him this entire election cycle.
At least Ryan is gone....Good Riddance to bad garbage.
I hope he chokes on the many bribes he received.
Yeah, gone. But too late.
Imagine if he would have relinquished his Speakership months ago, when he announced his retirement. And imagine if someone like Jim Jordan had become Speaker, and had been out there nationalizing the House election.
Safe to say, that likely would have been enough to salvage the GOP majority in the House.
She will still use it as a platform to formebt more social dissection and as muchdanage as she can inflict - such as new bulksheit investigatory hearings and blocking any needed legislation
Another difference: Pelosi will mount the bully pulpit of “Impeach, Impeach, Impeach” on Trump and Kavanaugh with the fervent nightly coverage of the MSM.
I just read this on FR
I’m in Texas for life.
After that Heaven.
Both without parole.
Wouldn’t have it any other way.
He’s retired! Treasonous bastard needs to go home!
That is a very good point. Paul Ryan would have had to say either, I suck as Speaker, or, I've intentionally been sabotaging Trump's agenda all along.
...
A small bit of good news is that losing the House in 2018 might actually bode well for the GOP in 2020. It gives them a great excuse not to pass legislation that they had no intention of passing anyway, and in 2020 they will be in a much better position to nationalize a House campaign with Trump running for re-election while they are the minority party.
If you lookup the enclyopedia Galactica for traitors you’ll find him listed there alongside Judah who betrayed Jesus Christ.
Ryan is a smug-faced saboteur
“Nevertrumpers and RINOs were the real losers tonight. They are finished in the GOP.”
Well, they comprise the GOP, the party of Bush. There was only a handful of patriots that actually supported-voted for Trump in the house and senate. You know, the guys that were trying to get to the bottom of the deep state corruption.
