Well, I'd love to think it's something nefarious but the GOP chairmanship rules become de facto term limits for those guys who don't want to hang around after losing det kind of power.

Hoping for a POP retirement watch thread.

Ryan is facing a rather significant challenge to his seat from (gasp) a Democrat.


Wisconsin's 1st congressional district is a congressional district of the United States House of Representatives in southeastern Wisconsin, covering Kenosha County, Racine County and most of Walworth County, as well as portions of Rock County, Waukesha County and Milwaukee County. The district's current Representative is Republican Paul Ryan, the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, who was the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States in the United States presidential election of 2012.

A swing district, it was carried by George W. Bush in 2004 with 53%; the district voted for Barack Obama over John McCain in 2008, 51.40-47.45% and the district voted for Ryan's running mate Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in 2012, 52.12%-47.88%.[2]

The Republican party faces having its Speaker lose an election to a Democrat in the coming wave election. That kind of loss will be hard to live down.

Hillary won his district so he saw the writing on the walls.

Thank god. Issa was completely useless.

Issa would have no shot in hell to win considering Trump's big tax hike on California residents. You think California is blue now...

eyup.

Hopefully the deep bench of good candidates that the Dems are building will pan out for the poor suckers in his district who kept him in office.

The tax bill was an astonishing "fuck you" to blue states. I am kind of shocked at how partisan the tax cuts were.

Now you have Sessions going after the Mary Jane. If you are a Republican from a purple/blue state and don't have a solid gerrymandered district... you are fucked six ways.

well, for CA residents who were paying north of 10k in state/local taxes. not sure exactly what % of tax filers that will hit

All I gotta say is: Keep your hands off my greens, bruh.

Considering the district Issa represents is right on the Pacific coast, I'm betting a lot of his constituency are going to be seeing some big tax hikes out of Trump and the GOP.

CA govt is planning, (and probably NY, NJ, CT MA, too) to allow the equivalent of disallowed property taxes to be donated to the CA govt and become again fully deductible from Fed taxes.

Good luck with that in court.

Don't worry, they have a deep bench.

Don't the Feds have to approve a "charity"? Do you trust any state government and their "credits" - I'd have to have iron-clad proof that that would work before I make any "charitable donation" to the state (and possibly still owe state income tax). Property taxes are local - not state.

You mean Derp stopped talking about trannies and cocks for any length of time to have a different type of discussion?

Probably says Ryan couldn't convince the Dear Leader to not fire Rosenstein.

Ryan never had any pull with Trump to begin with. Shit, the faggot doesn't even have his on conservative tribe with him. They're all on Trump's nuts to care.

Ryan's already shit-stained by his silence, along with Bitch McC, while Trash raises twitter hell.
