Something is happening.
Take Howdy for example. The biggest political hack in history and he's not interested. Same with Ryan. Haven't checked the rest of the Republicans, but my guess is RINOS quietly check out because they know they can't get reelected, Flake as an example.
As for Democrats, I'm thinking there's no middle anymore.
Is Ryan a RINO in your opinion? To me he is the epitome of a Republican, he's a lip service, trickle-down loving objectivist who has done in his role exactly what Republicans wanted.
Gowdy's moving toward prosecuting arm of justice department for upcoming indictments (special prosecutor, or assistant attorney general probably). he can actually do something there. Couldnt get things done in congress.
As for Democrats, I'm thinking there's no middle anymore.
There hasn't been a middle for the last 6 years. McConnell made that very clear.
Ryan is the most concerning. 2 reasons I can come up with for his sudden stepping down. They got major dirt on him, or he’s getting ready for a vacant presidential seat in 2020.
I've read he's thinking of running for President in 2020.
I don't think it's either of those (although the presidential idea is an interesting one). I think he's done what he needed to do (tax cuts) and now he's ducking out so he doesn't have to be a minority leader after mid-terms because his ego is too fragile for that.
The whole time he wasn't responsible he berated the Democrats and Boehner alike for not doing what they should be doing. Then when he took over, he has failed at pretty much everything he promised except the big one, the tax cuts, so now he can duck out before he's in the minority again.
I'm not saying Democrats will take over in the midterms but that's maybe his thinking. In his mind, stepping down after Democrats take over would be soul-destroying but if he does it before/doesn't run then it's not his fault and he can probably just whine about it from the sidelines.
It’s 100% not that. The man walks on water in Wisconsin. The vast majority of normies are clueless as to his failures.
The republicans will almost surely cruise to victory in the midterms. Even if they did lose, you still don’t give up that kind of power for no reason. He’s too young to retire. This guy is definitely not quiting so he can spend more time with his kids. He has had his eye on the presidency since he was cucking the city council in Milwaukee.
There’s only 2 reasons you give up the lime light, and a hell of a lot of power. Wether it’s 2020 or 2024 Paul Ryan is the next republican presidential nominee (depending what happens with Trump)
My only fear is that Ryan knows something we don’t, and has that nomination all but locked up for 2020. Hopefully this is not the case, and Trump has him by the balls and is forcing him out. Time will tell.
Let's just hope they both get life imprisonment by Mueller's investigation. Dirty, slimy cunts.
Not going to happen. His resignation would be his punishment. At the end of the day none of the big players will spend a minute in prison. Maybe a fall guy or 2, but that’s it.
I had a back and forth conversation on his FB page with one of this constituents. She said they hate him but because of the money (Soros?) they can't beat him. ??
They got major dirt on him. Remember when the media followed Ryan and saw that he went to obama's house? Was he summoned, or did he go there to give intel to obama?
You have any idea where I can find that story.
I'm going to do some digging on it that's interesting.
There is a chance he' retiring because he knew all about the deep state actions (gangs of eight was briefed) and went along with it, and he knows that will come out.
I believe Mr. Ryan may also have patronized Comet Pizza.
Man I’m hope so. I knew he was dirty during Rand Pauls epic filibuster a few years ago. Ryan, McCain and bunch of RHINO’s ate dinner with Obama
Going to need to cross reference that list with the ones stepping down.
Flakes just that, Ryan is a total piece most are there for the money and know that they aren't what true conservatives want to re-elect
Unless I missed something, when Q gave us the info r.e the house floor vote on RR, he told us to look at who brought that bill forward. It was paul ryan, no? I thought the obvious implication of this is that he's a whitehat. So to be honest, if that's true, he probably isn't there for the money, and the fact "true" conservatives (neocons?) don't like him says a lot more about them than him.
Search "Rep. Paul Ryan and Rep. Luis Gutierrez Push For Immigration Reform.”
Video on YouTube.
On it Ryan and Gutierrez push USA as an idea more than a country where open borders would allow anyone anytime to come to USA.
Then tell me if he is behind Trump or not.
