Some Republicans are so desperate for Paul Ryan to step up as the next speaker of the House that they’ve started talking about retiring if he doesn’t, according to a group that works on behalf of the House GOP’s more moderate members.
After Ryan, those members have no second choice or even a second tier of potential speakers, said Sarah Chamberlain, chief operating and financial officer for the Republican Main Street Partnership, a group that backs “mainstream” Republicans and plans to spend millions helping them protect their House seats in 2016.
“Depending on how this shakes out, you may see some Main Street members retire,” Chamberlain said in an interview. “… They’re hoping for a Ryan-type candidate. But if it’s not and it becomes a huge mess, why be sitting here?”

Those “moderates” might as well be called the Rove Republicans.
I think they’re virtually useless and likely funded by K Street and not their folks back home.
YEAH if true!!! Good riddance!
I know that gives the true conservatives to vote against Ryan.
So is McCarthy who, in spite of his name, is no Catholic. I will leave it to all of the fine Christians here who are Baptists as to whether McCarthy has any business calling himself Baptist or even Christian.
“Moderate” is just a fancy name for indecisive coward. You don’t see any “moderate” Democrats in the Party of ‘RATS, do you? They want a communist Amerika and they are fighting to get it while the Republicans are still looking for a battle to “pick and choose” from to fight.

Look. It may just as easily be that Paul Ryan, a whore of the first order, made “demands” on the Freedom Caucus members that they sit down, shut up and do exactly what they are told. AND then the Freedom Caucus members told Ryan in no uncertain terms NO! and HELL, NO! and that Ryan should attempt an unnatural sexual act wity himself. If so, tonight’s presser may feature the ridiculously self important love slave of the most corrupt business interests in the country, announcing that he ain’t gonna take it any more and will quit to take a job with the US Chamber of Crony Commerce while setting up his own factory to make kneepads for GOP-E “moderates” to use when servicing Obozo.
These jerkoffs are going to quit their $175k jobs with all their perks over this? Bwahahahahah, I'm calling their bluff. TEA Partiers like us provided the spark that put them in the majority.
Threat my rear end! Could ya’ll make that a promise instead?
“Republican Main Street Partnership, a group that backs “mainstream” Republicans”
That means the good lil Uniparty Pubs who are bought and paid for by their rich oligarch masters, right?
What he (Gaijin) said!
Maybe we’ll really get lucky and they’ll take Kinzinger also.
Go ahead, Retire, we don’t NEED you anyway (that’s what needs to be said to these egoists)!
So, quit.
We have a saying for folks like them - “Don’t let the screen door hit ya where The Good Lord split ya”.
Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.
Personally I prefer the time-hallowed and MSM enshrined conservative response.
F**k ‘em.
I’ve said this before.
Trump’s purpose is to start by throwing congresspersons out of 2nd story windows.
This wouldn’t be happening if Jeb was leading the pack.
LOL!!!
They best retire (does that mean collecting taxpayer’s money) before the guillotines arrive.
More Paul Ryan noise.
FRee Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
