“The rumor mill is that Paul Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and that Steve Scalise will be the new Speaker,” Amodei told Nevada Newsmakers, referring to the Majority Whip.

“Now this is interesting, because no one has talked to members on how they are going to vote," he added. "Now, maybe they have talked to all of the members but me. I don’t know, so that is the rumor mill from last week.’"

Ryan’s office denied that the Speaker is heading for the exits. Ryan has said he and his wife will decide in the spring about whether he will run for reelection.

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

What? This is outrageous. This is not acceptable.

The next 30 to 60 minutes will be OK. Why wait any longer?

A thought just crossed my mind.

Did Trump sign that Omnibus spending bill on the condition that RINO-Ryan go home?

That would be a trade-off I could live with.

He did pull this a while back and they begged him to stay. He brings the bacon and ignores the pleb voters better than anybody. He’s just negotiating another raise.

If true, and I do hope it is true, why is Ryno leaving now?

Is something on him coming out soon?

The IG report in May?

OK, so Ryan leaves as Speaker. Who takes his place? There are only between 60 and 80 real conservatives in the House (depending on who you think is a Conservative), but it takes 218 to make a Speaker.

I can guarantee you it won't be a Conservative. So would we be better off?

We can all hope but I won’t believe it until President Trump tweets it.

Something to do with the Omni-bupkis?
