BREAKING REPORT: Paul Ryan Will Announce Retirement From Congress…

Expect An ‘After Easter’ Bombshell Announcement From Speaker Ryan

Editor’s Note: Story just hit the wires a few minutes after midnight.

By Myra Adams, Townhall

Mark your calendars! As if there isn’t enough daily drama swirling around Washington, in early or mid-April there is likely to be an announcement that will titillate the nation’s capital.

According to a frontline GOP strategist (name asked to be withheld) “after Easter” is when House Speaker Paul Ryan will announce his decision whether or not to run for reelection in Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district. Speaker Ryan, age 48, has represented his home district since winning the seat in 1998 at age 28.

Ryan’s 2018 reelection decision is imminent given Wisconsin’s filing deadline of June 1 with an August 14 primary. Thus, April is the expected time frame when this strategist believes the speaker will drop his bombshell.

Wisconsin’s 1st district is the most southeastern in the state. It is situated along the eastern portion of the northern Illinois border encompassing Kenosha and Racine counties including portions of Milwaukee, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha counties.

In 2016, Ryan won the district with 65 percent of the vote, a slight increase from 63 percent in 2014. A vast improvement from 2012 when Ryan won 54.9 percent after his name appeared twice on his district’s ballot —first as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee on Mitt Romney’s presidential ticket and as a congressional candidate for reelection.

Upon making the announcement in April, Ryan, in his role as speaker of the House, will immediately become a lame duck speaker with his power significantly diminished — the reason why Ryan is waiting as long as politically feasible.

Why we can expect an 'after Easter' bombshell announcement from Speaker Ryan. It’s likely that the “wake-up call” Speaker Ryan warned his colleagues about this week is also a personal alarm that says, “Time to start your second career.”https://t.co/kAlTiZdmEH

"If true (and l hope it is) it means he believes we are losing the house."

Don't know whether it's true or not, but what I see is a whole slew of Reps -- young and old == who are retiring in an effort (I believe) to hand the House over to the Dems.

Remember, this is the Globalist Uniparty we're talkin' about. Trump is a threat to their agenda.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLcyWCAzigA Ryan supported Lamb. He is not in great favor with Trump.

No. He can get reelected in CD 1 as long as he chooses to run, the Republicans in WI love him. This would be about making some serious money.

If true (and l hope it is) it means he believes we are losing the house.

Or that he's compromised and has been given the option ;)

If true, which is doubtful, it may mean those other “scurrilous” rumors are true. That would be the rumors that Ryan was supporting ‘Rat Lamb in the PA primary.

If he was caught doing that, he’s done for.

He should resign after supporting a Democrat in the PA congressional election. What a crappy human.
