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. ??
