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

Sam was the best and continuously did a great job for us.
He was a Vietnam POW and makes "he who must not be named" look like a real piker.
Eric Cantor is raking in millions from Wall Street and rarely leaves Richmond.
twitter, but from several sources. Not saying they are reliable. But it was just all over the place.
Fine, guy never impressed me.
This was put out by the Citizen Free Press.
So....there’s that.
I’ll believe it when it happens.
She's a liberal...
But then again...maybe he's doing us a favor.
Term limiting himself..20 yrs is enough.
Gosh,
I sure do hope this claim is accurate.
Just go Ryan, just go.
I suspect that Ryan’s name is on the list of legislators whom the taxpayers bailed out for sexual proclivities beyond the norm for married congress critters. Swamp creatures don’t get off the gravy train unless someone has a gun to their heads or the grass is WAY greener on the other side and Ryan is the epitome of a corrupt reptile creature.
I’ll believe it when I see it, and somehow I doubt it.
Maybe I will break into my happy dance.

You are getting some good info
Keep it rollin
If the Wisconsin Supreme Court flips by republicans staying home then all of the gains Wisconsin made under Walker are gone: Act 10, right to work, Voter ID etc.
Early voting has begun .. election right after Easter.
Currently the Liberal in the race has been razing money big time in San Francisco where she openly said law is what you want it to be and asked for support for Democrats in office so the state can flip back to “the San Francisco values we lost along the way ...”
The conservative judge has no comparable funds; there is no big names campaigning for him, and as things stand now he is expected to lose.
If he loses, then millions of liberal dollars will pour in to flip as many state and federal House and Senate seats as possible in November, then will target Walker..
Meanwhile, flipping the Court will be seen by the Liberals as the first signal that there will be a Blue Wave in Nov with impeachment of DJT to follow. They are throwing everything they have (locally and nationally) into getting the Liberal judge elected and so flipping Wisconsin, then the nation and the removing DJT.
That’s why Ryan could retire.
This may be one of the booms from Q. Someone has the goods on him. I know he made an ad buy AGAINST the GOP candidate in the recent PA election.
Giving away the House ON PURPOSE!!!!
