Let's hope Ryan quit because he knows that a blue tsunami is going to wash away much of the corrupt Republican congress.
I'm still gonna work hard to make the blue wave real.

I can't help but feeling that's what happened in 2016 - "Who would EVER vote for Trump?"

But he can't do it as someone who couldn't even carry his home district.
So, he'll sit out the damage he's caused, hope people forget he's the one who tanked the economy, and after a Democratic President has had to raise taxes back to avoid further bankrupting the country, will run for President decrying the "Tax & Spend Democrats."

That's why I think he's leaving. He doesn't want to deal with Trump.
