This is huge news and a huge blow for republicans. This basically guarantees the house goes to democrats, Trump will be impeached (not removed). Trump 2020 just got a whole lot less possible.

Trump re-election. If Paul Ryan resigns he will not be able to run for president. He probably just believes he will lose. He may have done some internal polling and that mustache guy is winning.
If Trump loses the House he *will* be impeached. He will not be removed, as I personally see it, but he will be gelded (for the dummies, that means his nuts will be removed).
This is far worse for him than Mueller. It means the House believes a wave is coming. I never count Trump out, but it is hard to see how he keeps the republicans in line after this.Comment

How?
Also this is him officially saying it. He basically said he was doing this back in December or November 2017 I believe. It was well known he was not going to seek re-electionComment

I hear what you're saying, but it appears that Trump voters will not turn out for candidates that are not Trump. I gather you are a Trump supporter, you must understand that if the house goes Democrat Trump will be impeached. Ryan is not resigning because he doesn't get along with Trump - he is resigning because he believes he is going to lose.
At the end of the day, the voters don't make laws, they elect officials to do it. The republicans want to stay in office. If they can't raise money because people believe they are going to lose, they will leave office. It appears the national mood is 10 - 15% more democrat leaning OR republicans are not turning out. Either way, Trump is already hobbled by the media, so he will not be like Clinton and recover. He will continue to be attacked and will therefore probably lose in 2020 or choose not to run.
Again, Trump is smarter than I am. I try not to underestimate him. But what path does he have?Comment

Incumbency is a big advantage. People vote for "the devil you know". If his departure leads other Republicans to retire, as is likely, then it gives the Democrats a much greater change to take the House. No guarantee but it helps them.

What options does he have? The investigations going on in the background that no one (MSM) is really talking about. Trump is playing along to get along until he can drop those in their lap. Keep in mind the person who warned him about Obama's spying operations is sitting at the helm of the intelligence apparatus'. He sees everything. He is the man behind the curtain. He is set to retire soon. I don't think he will be leaving a job unfinished.PLEASE WAIT WHILE BIDEN ADMIN UNINSTALLS ITSELF.....

There is a very solid Democrat choice already who has been out raising Ryan for his campaign fund. That's the reason Ryan is calling it quits, because he just like other Republicans who are scared to run and lose.. They know what's coming..
Paul Ryan's district is very purple it has a history of voting right or left.. Obama won his district as example.
Ryan stated previously if he thought democrats would win the house that he wouldn't seek re-election because he didn't want to be under a Democrat speaker.. Him sayi g he won't run speaks volumes about what he and his fellow republicans expect this election..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

That is possible. But then Obama was considered the same. It is all about turnout. if the black vote turns out for Kamala Harris, she will win. They did not turn out for Clinton to the same degree they turned out for Obama.
The person holding the lead right now is a democrat who is very well funded. Now that he will no longer be a "protest candidate" there may be some scrutiny, but he will probably win. No new candidate can raise the millions he has raised. The election is in 7 months.
Really? This statement makes you look dumb. No one is spouting CNN talking points; can you post anything where someone from CNN said any of what has been said here? Come on, let's not do this - my threads are not partisan bullshit this is discussion.
This. No guarantee, but the likelihood is much greater.Comment

Ryan's contender is out raising him in campaign money.. The guy is former military, a steal worker and a head of his local union and is from ooutside the beltway.. it's very doubtful Republicans can find anyone better than that guy.
Ryan's district is purple, it voted Obama previously.. Ryan was likely to get beat by this guy hence the reason Ryan is bailing out..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

he seems genuinely distressed.
he doesn't seem happy with Jeff Sessions, who would be the primary architect of this strategy.
all the races have except Georgia have gone 10 - 15% points to the democrat side. There is NO WAY losing the House can be a win, even in 13th dimension hyperchess. I said Trump was smarter than me, I didn't say he was Bobby Fischer.
If there is a republican with a talent for strategy they will cleave as closely as possible to Trump, support him in everything and present a united front, like Gaetz. That doesn't seem to be happening. Where is Gingrich, where is Coulter, where is Drudge? They seem to be dismayed and befuddled.Comment

Yes and 41 Republicans in the House are "retiring" this year, not running for re-election.

So in your mind you're going to psychologically win no matter what after supporting Trump all these months by saying he wasn't really a Republican. Just like you say all the Republicans who turned against Trump, or didn't support him, weren't really Republicans.
That's the mental retardation aspect of your ideology. Nobody is one of you if they start to have an independent thought outside the mindhive.Comment

We've known since December that Ryan was gonna quit. He's shady as fuck, Trump & Sessions probably told him to quit or be charged with crimes.
Good riddance.
And Bladewire- sorry buddy but there will be no "blue wave" of democrats winning all the mid-terms. What's the platform they're running on? Raising taxes? Importing foreign welfare recipients? Stripping people's gun rights?
Good luck with that.

He's played the "pissed at Sessions" role all along. It has to be that way or when they actually do do something it appears politically motivated and coordinated. IE McCabe's firing. Sure the left bitched and moaned but once the evidence of him lying 3 times to investigators was revealed they couldn't say shit. His firing also reveals an investigation going on for a lot longer than most believe.Perhaps, but:

Now as far as establishment Republican's.. Look what Graham just signed on to..
http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...rotect-mueller
The establishment doesn't care what happens to Trump as long as their control is left untouched. Graham supposedly thinks the DOJ, FBI etc broke many laws yet he trusts the same people who actually broke those law to continue on? Mueller's entire staff was involved in that shit. 2 of them. Page and Strzok are key to all of the evidence.. They documented it.. Muellers "investigation" is all about protecting the status quo... Keeping Trump in check.. Nothing about Russia.
But again, there's been a quiet investigation going on

I'm not Republican, never have claimed to be, soooooo. I've had this same avatar since day one here. That should give you a clue.. Also if you look at my profile pic you'll find a pic of Bush playing around like he's getting blown off from way back then... I trashed the hell out of Bush. I was warned about him during his first run.. My ex baby momma is from Dallas. Her family were missionary green card holding immigrants from South Africa. Her grandfather ran a large church in a Dallas suburb. They knew the Bush family personally. Even invested in Jr's failed oil companies. (That's why they didn't like them after because Jr lost all of their investments) My oldest son's godmother's family is from Pakistan (her father was Ambassador to the US) and were given asylum here via Bush Sr. Here's the kicker. My son's grandmother (the South African preachers daughter) and his godmother (the Pakistani Ambassador's daughter) were a lesbian couple.

I don't understand how you guys were happy under Obama.
I don't understand why your not happy about the economy. Aren't most of you small business owners?
Wtf is going on.. Watching the Zuch speak at congress the other day was frightening. How can any rationale person be opposed to free speech and open debate?
Those are supposed to be liberal hallmarks.
Can none of you guys concede the willing slavery that is going on with this type of guff and identity politics? We need way less government involvement in our day to day lives.

*IF* he had won the special elections - maybe. But the Cook report says:
Ryan Retirement Puts WI-01 at Risk and Throws House GOP Into Deeper Turmoil

Exactly. When Trump was elected Ryan had two huge goals: pass a big tax cut and kill Obamacare. He got one of the two and now he is bailing before the shit hits the fan. Personally, I think we will see him run for Governor (or President depending on how the tax cut/massive debt thing works out) but for now he is going to keep his head down and let Trump catch the shit.Comment
