Ryan will be known for a $trillion debt, after promises to eliminate it.

Ryan may be forced to leave speakership by summer

Paul Ryan said he plans to remain as speaker and not call an early leadership election, but well-wired Republicans tell Jonathan Swan and me that Ryan may be forced out sooner.

What we're hearing: One source close to leadership told us: "Scuttlebutt is that Paul will have to step down from speakership soon. Members won’t follow a lame duck, he’ll have no leverage to cut deals, and the last thing they need in this environment is 6 months of palace intrigue and everyone stabbing everyone else in the back."

First the idea was floated of him leaving and now he is being run out.

 

[Witchit]

Who knows. Can't he just serve out his term and they elect someone else Speaker?

Ryan is one of the most universally hated people in the country. He can’t leave soon enough.
