A backbench Republican sparked the latest round of speculation Monday about Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s future by suggesting other GOP lawmakers were bracing for the Wisconsin Republican to resign from office this spring.

The suggestion, offered as “rumor mill” by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), drew an immediate dismissal from Ryan’s office.

“The speaker is not resigning,” AshLee Strong, Ryan’s spokeswoman, said in a statement.

Don't you think she he looks tired?

[Enchante]

Sad, it was such a good rumor, too!

[TigersEye]

Give us something, Ash Lee. Is he at least feeling a little sick?

[Jane Long]

SHAT!! 😠😡

[Theodore R.]

Badgers wouldn’t dare let him resign!

“‘E’s restin’!”

Sounded too good to be true.

[Alas Babylon!]

Maybe he’s waiting to hand the reins over to Nazi Piglosi?

Let's all band together here, and practice some powerful visualization techniques, to influence Ryan to go ahead and hit the road for real.   All together now...

When he does leave he will be a very rich man. Cashing in those chits.

Because he can win reelection with a 70%+ margin for as long as he cares to run, maybe? Good solid Republican district.

I see no reason American Hero and Gun Violence Victim Steve Scalise should not take the gavel right now. Wwhen we take the leadership we win.

[AZHSer]

LOL! Harriet Jones too!

[funfan]

Maybe he will change his mind once his affair becomes public.

[arthurus]

He may well not run for office again but it would not be prudent to announce or allow to be known such a fact before it happens.

Backbencher congressman just wanted his name in his local news, maybe he’s trying for reelection on the cheap.
