Don’t fool yourself. Paul Ryan, the House Speaker, doesn’t like President Trump. And he has great disdain for voters who put him in the White House. Ryan was openly against Trump during the nomination process. After Trump became the candidate, he still experienced pushback from Ryan. The political establishment agreed with Ryan. Now, Ryan is retiring from his Speakership position and leaving the House after this term, but not before he can flip the middle finger to Trump and his supporters.

Trump was able to find his way into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue because of his hardline stance on illegal immigration. Americans were tired of low wages due to illegal aliens who were working for minimum wage, and sometimes less. Trump wisely brought this issue to the forefront.

Now, Paul Ryan is quickly writing an amnesty bill that he hopes to bring to the House floor for debate. He is trying to divide the Republican Party between the establishment and Conservatives. Ryan doesn’t gain anything politically, and he has nothing to lose. A politician at the end of their term is more dangerous than drinking Mexican tap water.

...which is why term limits would be so dangerous.

Something I've anticipated with term limits is 'government service' becoming a resume item like college or a military stint. Get elected, conduct some graft government business and then move on to more wonderful stuff. I believe that's already the case with non-elective government office.

I think Ryan knows he'll be forgotten while McCain imagines a place for himself in the history books.
