Speaking of Paul Ryan

Remember this?  Not even a month ago.

March 26, 2018
A Nevada Republican shared on Monday what he conceded is a rumor: That House Speaker Paul Ryan would resign in the near future and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise would claim the gavel.

"The rumor mill is Paul Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and that Steve Scalise will be the new speaker," Nevada GOP Rep. Mark Amodei said on "Nevada Newsmakers."

[...]

Ryan's office denied on Monday that he was stepping down.

"The speaker is not resigning," spokesman Doug Andres told CNN.

[...]

For his part, Ryan has demurred and said in a January interview that re-election is a decision he and his wife will make together in late spring.

Amodei referenced the speculation when asked about the rumor he floated and said Ryan "wants to play on the national stage in some capacity or another."

That's frightening.
"I'm speculating from at least as far away as you are, and my speculation is this: The White House and Paul Ryan would probably not be a great fit," Amodei said, adding later, "I would be very surprised if there were open arms at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue for 'come on into the administration, Mr. Cheese Guy.'"
Or maybe Fox News will hire him.  There are other places he could be a problem.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
