Dems will be the heavy favorite to sweep WI this fall; Governor Walker has said as much. So the Ryan seat goes officially “Democrat.”

Do what the Dems did. Get someone who is to the right is a very safe seat

Odd that Ryan will bow out as Romney enters the Senate.

Actually, there’s also talk of Scalise throwing his hat in the ring for Speaker. Assuming the GOP keeps the House, there’ll have to be a vote.

House GOP needs to elect a Speaker from a solid GOP state.
Enough of electing a Speaker from either liberal state or a swing state.

Just take the turtle with you and get the hell out of our House you piece of turd.

Any congress critter that used to work out with {and shower with} anthony weiner was never to be trusted.

Ryan has a net worth of about $7 million, some came from his wife BUT, a series of trades of bank stocks at the height of the 2008 financial collapse raised suspicions that he might have traded based on inside information.

Insider trading is ILLEGAL for everyone, except congress critters, the people with the most INSIDE INFORMATION.

That is how a prick that has been a congress critter for most of his adult life becomes a millionaire, HE CHEATS AND STEALS.

Maybe he’ll face indictment. Some say the raid on Cohen’s office was one last desperate grasp at nailing trump before everything falls apart.

Paul Ryan will not be missed. Ryan is a rat-bastard that always said one thing and then did another.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

Marcus Tullius Cicero

FOAD Mr. Ryan

Good.
Ryan is a Bush League Republican hell bent on making America into North Mexico.

Even a high schooler knows you don’t predict a loss at the Friday night game, and tell everyone.

Still young enough to enjoy his retirement years, too. Lots of folks wait too long and give meaning to the term “declining years”.

‘He just doesn’t want his fingerprints on the murder weapon when Trump falls and the GOP goes under 100 seats.’

He had a choice between leadership and shame. He chose shame.
