Hagar: Rumor is that Paul Ryan may resign as U.S. House speaker, Scalise will replace him, Amodei says

Ray Hagar, Nevada Newsmakers Published 2:55 p.m. PT March 26, 2018 | Updated 3:28 p.m. PT March 26, 2018

Nevada's 2nd U.S. House District Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Carson City, said on Nevada Newsmakers Monday that Rep. Paul Ryan may soon resign as Speaker of the U.S. House.
Amodei said he was repeating a rumor that's around Capitol Hill....

FWIW I make no claims to the accuracy of this news

Rep. Mark Amodei is on the Freedom Caucus.  Strange that Ryan would be confiding in him, I think.

If true, Ryan either realizes new leadership is needed to keep the House or he knows it’s lost and doesn’t want to be the one who hands the gavel over.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

How could you tell the difference?

New leadership in both Houses was needed after Trump was sworn in.  Expecting a different result from the same failed leadership of the past was stupid. Getting rid of him now before the House is handed back to the DEMS is futile.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

So in other words, he's going to step down before he's shown the door...

Ryan ain't going anywhere.  He has to meet some snowflakes that are presently marching 50 mile so his house.  It would be rude for him  to resign before his guests arrive.

If she doesn't shave no one would know.

Cruz/Scalise...... a clear 20/20 Trumpian vision.

MAJORITY LEADERS of Congress, America can count on.
