Paul Ryan is considering retiring after 2018 mid-term elections

Must figure that the Democrats are going to take back the House and there’s no fun in being House Minority Leader.

[SuperLuminal]

Sounds like a revenge ploy to discourage voting for him in 2018 (since he won't be around to represent the voters) to guarantee another true demoncrat win for the House.

After all, there isn't much difference between a RINO and a demoncrat...

[wastedyears]

Oh please, as if he would leave such a powerful position, literally two heartbeats away from the presidency.

They “voluntarily” leave due to poor health or scandals, and even then you’re hard-pressed to find a democrat that will willingly leave office.

[RKBA Democrat]

Translation: He’s already measuring the curtains for his office on K street.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

[HombreSecreto]

When more critters than normal “retire,” there’s got to be a reason.

TRUMP is draining the swamp.

Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA

Pepe is pleased

Q is real

[sailor76]

Why can’t he go today?
===============

Or yesterday, or just go to Hell on his treasonous way out of town....oh yes, his horse too.

[Cobra64]

Well, that explains his pathetic, irresponsible position on everything Conservative.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Is he on the list where shush payouts were made?

[RetiredArmy]

We can all wish it so. Please, retire you slime ball.

[Eleutheria5]

Why wait? Retire now.

[RitaOK]

Cavuto has been in a mood ever since Trump snubbed him, not appearing on his show, and at the same time Trump was appearing everywhere, during the campaign forward.

Cavuto has lost his sense of humor and is not his cute self anymore. He ragged on Trump like a pretentious snob from the beginning and Trump didn’t reward him for it.

[RitaOK]

The thing is, it is true, but just not true *now*.

Politico seldom gets its breaking news stories wrong and they do cite the word coming from a close friend of Paul’s. Ryan is avoiding a discussion about it with reporters swarming the Hill for the tax negotiations.

Perhaps he wants to be tapped to run in 2020 for the presidency. I think he may have had enough of Trump, however, and would not want to go up against him. Ryan has lost a lot of love acting like a prig and battling against Trump.

[Henchster]

House Speaker Paul Ryan plans to retire after the 2018 midterm elections..

He doesn't say that the reason he is retiring AFTER the 2018 midterms is that he is going to be Cantor-ized BEFORE the 2018 midterms.

[ssaftler]

Lyin' Ryan leaving after the midterms???

[avenir]

“Ryan has never loved the job; he oozes aggravation when discussing intra-party debates over “micro-tactics,” and friends say he feels like he’s running a daycare center.”

Really inspiring. Yep, I’d follow this man into battle any day!

[Candor7]

Yes, go Ryan. And take that Kentucky Senate Turtle with you.

Don't let he door hit your posterior as you are leaving!!!

I keep telling myself that we are not a cursed people even though we have had the worst speakers of the People's House the past 18 years and we have had the worst POTUS the past 28 years.

Cavuto will be replaced soon since I do not thing any real conservatives listen to him except the die hard liberals.

[Terry Mross]

Oh, the poor soul. He’s made such huge sacrifices and is willing to give another year of his life for the glorious cause.

Could it be he’s letting people know he’s leaving before someone runs against him for speaker?

Could it be he doesn’t want to run for re-election because he might get beat?

Could it be he’s staying one more year so he can pad his pension?

I’d be willing to bet he never leaves Washington.

[dfwgator]

He’ll come back as a lobbyist.
