Just a thought regarding Ryan

Taking back the House is going to be a huge lift, but suppose Democrats take enough House Seats to be just a few short or a majority.

Wouldn't Ryan have to rely of Democratic support to maintain his position as Majority Leader? I mean, I think there are going to have to be 20-30 crazy-ass T-Bagging asshats left in the "Free-Dumb" Caucus. Aren't they going to be so pissed at Ryan that they will refuse to vote for him as Majority Leader?

Is InsHannity's wet dream of a "Gohmert as Majority Leader" showdown going to fracture the ReTrumplicans even more?

Ryan better hope the Dems do take the House. His political future is not going to look very good if there is a protracted House Leadership fight.

Let the games begin!
