Has a Speaker of the House ever lost a primary election?

I don't think so.

This could be a first.

Tom Foley was one, I’m pretty sure there are others.

Ryan is heavily favored in his district and most people there like him and dislike the other guy - just saying.

As much as I would love to see him retire to the dem fields; they have an open primary there which means his main constituents, dems, will vote for him.

I’d really to be proven wrong though...

The irony of have a RINO house speaker is really too much to bear though.

It would have been a lot easier if Trump didn’t endorse Lyin’ Ryan. It would have been a shoo-in if Trump endorsed Nehlen. (sp?)

Here’s hoping Nehlen kicks Ryan out. Ryan does all he can to injure veterans.

I heard on the national snooze last Friday that Ryan was up huge in the polls. Don’t know how accurate that report was.

Why did Trump endorse him? Has he lost his mind? What has this piece of rat filth Ryan EVER done for Trump?

I think what Mr. Trump did is very much what my dad do.

Let’s say There are some people in southern Maine, lawyers, DHS workers, and some court personnel that took a woman’s child.

While donating to their campaigns, while patting them on the back, while publicly commenting on how great they are, he would be going about to absolutely bankrupt them.

We think that is what Mr. Trump is doing with McTratior. Bath house Ryan and ayotte.

The place to beat Ryan is for speaker. Trump supporters should oust Ryan from the speakership in the house.

Oh, yeah, Ryan is so popular in his state which is why Obama won it in 2012!
