Chatter is growing louder on Capitol Hill that Paul Ryan’s days as Speaker are numbered.

Four House Republicans, including a senior lawmaker close to leadership, told The Hill they expect Ryan to step down after Tuesday’s elections, arguing that he faces a daunting path to the 218 votes he needs to win a full two-year term leading the House GOP.

He must know what's coming down the pipe, and trying to save his collaborative hide.

Resign, Ryan!!

[tennmountainman]

Step down? Too nice.

GOP congresscritters should VOTE his a$$ out.

[PGR88]

Good. He didn’t want the job anyway, and has been Obama’s rubber stamp

[fwdude]

Hard to believe he was the number 2 member on the 2012 ticket. Disgusting.

‘He must know what is coming down the pipe..’
My thoughts, exactly. Maybe he has an honorable mention in a soon-to-be-released wiki leak and he wants to ‘get out o’ Dodge before the shootin’ starts.

That loser needs to go! Tom Price from GA would be a good replacement.

Hopefully the freedom caucus finally grows a pair

[Starboard]

Worried about something in those emails, Paul?

Trump will give Ryan a new job....

Ambassador to the Bermuda Triangle.

Of course Ryan is a # 2.
Question is will he go down with only one flush?

“Chatter is growing louder on Capitol Hill that Paul Ryan’s days as Speaker are numbered.”

No sh*t, Sherlock.

Whoever wins on Tuesday, he’s toast.

He should have lost his job after that election.

If a House Speaker from Wisconsin is named as a VP candidate and he couldn't even deliver his home state, then his political influence clearly ain't worth sh!t.

I think 2012 was the first time in 40 years where a major party ticket didn't win the home state of either top candidate (President/VP).

F_ck Paul Ryan......he’s a chump.

[bigbob]

I don’t know why he would want the job. He’s set for safe reelection as long as he cares to serve otherwise.

[mrsmith]

I don’t believe it.
If he resigns then who takes the blame for the CR that has to be passed in the lame duck session?
I think he’s demanding that he be guaranteed the 2017 Speaker job in exchange.

Of course it’s possible that the Republicans are willin to “shut down the government”- but they never have in the past.

I think Algore lost TN in 2000.

[Alberta's Child]

Yes -- but the Democrats won CT (Lieberman's home state).

Maybe my post was confusing. LOL.

[Paladin2]

No, he’ll do a lame duck CR.
