The rise of Donald Trump has given Paul Ryan heartburn all year. And that may not change after Election Day.
The GOP presidential nominee has repeatedly accused Ryan, the nations highest-ranking elected Republican, of being disloyal to his campaign.
If Trump is trounced by Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8, many believe hell turn his wrath and his millions of loyal followers against Ryan as he runs for reelection as Speaker. Trump already appears to be looking for ways to explain his potential loss in the White House race.
Fox News host Sean Hannity, an ally of Trump, is dialing up the rhetoric against Ryan, telling The Washington Post this week that the Wisconsin lawmaker is a saboteur who needed to be called out and replaced.
And last Friday, top leaders of the far-right House Freedom Caucus held a conference call in which they discussed backing a challenger to Ryan in the Speakers race, set for one week after the election, The Hill has learned. Some lawmakers are floating caucus Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), though his aides said he wont run.
A lot of conservatives are hearing in great volume back in their districts calls to dump Ryan. If we dont have somebody that runs against him, it makes us look like were complicit, said a lawmaker on the Freedom Caucus call.

And this is bad news?
Contrary, it’s great news
1. A Trump win
2. Trump gathers the House & Senate together, after he wins, and asks to have Ryan and McConnell replaced
Millions will not vote down-ticket because
of Ryan-Romney-Soros. The warning has been there
for MONTHS.
The GOP decided they did not care.
When Trump wins, Ryan will be seen in the evening going into the Congressional restrooms with some toilet cleaner and his toothbrush.
In every story the narrative by the MSM is basically that Trump is going to lose. Sick of these people. I’m savoring election night when all the pundits have to eat their words. They have no freaking clue how pissed off the nation is at Democrats, Republicans and the media. They’ll find out for sure on November 8th!
Trounced? Potential loss? That’s the meme, folks. Indicate the election of Hillary is inevitable. Sheesh.
I hope so. Ryan is a POS. I’ll bet he’s crying in a corner at the thought that his boyfriend Obamatard will be out of office.
The Freedom Caucus INSTALLED Ryan as Speaker.
At the behest of Cruz.
Not everyone forgets this point.
PRyn0 is no patriot. He needs to spend more time with his fam.
What happened to all the TEA Party folks we sent to DC. Are all of them corrupt? Will they get kicked off the gravy train if they compete. I do not understand this.
Ryan needs to get in his Rino funded clown car and get the hell out of DC ASAP... Yesterday even, if possible.
Sounds like a lose lose situation for Ryan.
They are POLITICIANS!!!
And as politicians, THEY ARE SCUM!!!!!!!
I see no way that A President Trump can trust A Speaker Ryan to not shove a knife in his back. I have no doubt though that Ryan will step down if asked (yes, really).
The future may give same more backbone.
Yup, a lot of weepy faces and mouths agape on election eve. F them all, they totally have it coming to them.
Just as well. No Trump supporter is going to stay home because they’re told by the MSM that he’s going to lose. But I can see some wishy-washy Democrats and independents not voting because they think the outcome is already determined.
MOST of the ‘TEA PARTY’ peeps we vote in turned out to be easily corruptible clowns. The ones who are “real” Tea Party patriots are those who lose in their districts just like the guy who was supposed to unseat Ryan in his district.
Can we win the damn election first please ?
