Internal polls must show he is fricked.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

quote:

House Speaker Paul Ryan has told confidants that he will announce soon that he won’t run for reelection in November, according to sources with knowledge of the conversations.

Why it matters: House Republicans were already in very tough spot for midterms, with many endangered members and the good chance that Democrats will win the majority.

This decision has been long rumored but his final deliberations were held extremely closely.
Ryan, 48, was the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2012, and has long harbored presidential ambitions. Friends say he could make another run in the future.
Friends say that after Ryan passed tax reform, his longtime dream, he was ready to step out of a job that has become endlessly frustrating, in part because of President Trump.
Friends say Ryan was contemplating a minority or slim majority and decided that there was no good time to leave — it was time for at least a stint in private life.

It sounds like he didn't have the votes for Speaker. Remember the rumor that he was handing it to Scalise?

I just posted the story, it sounds like he may run for President. Maybe Kasich needs a VP?

He had zero other accomplishments during his duration in DC. Anyone that supports him and still calls him a conservative is a charlatan just like him.

That is what they want

Omnibus Ryan strikes again......He has been better for the Dem party than Pelosi and Schumer combined.

He's a fraud that didn't move the needle in the 2012 election one bit. Not sure why people think he is viable nationally.
