**Some big donors, who have given millions to Ryan this cycle, may not want him to stay on as speaker if the entire party is taking on water.

Who cares? The high and rightys will only have the majority for a few more months in all likelihood

Anybody else not super excited about this? I mean, I'm excited for the swamp draining, but I'd trade losing Ryan for losing McConnell in a heartbeat. The Turtle needs to go.
