was what got Paul Ryan out of office. I think he saw how they were all taking money from questionable sources and he was afraid of getting in trouble with the rest of them.

back into politics after Rubio quit them after the 2016 nomination race. Then Ryan quit himself within 2 years. I guess he didn't want to get the appeaser/nevertrumper stink on him. Just speculating.

Ryan, like Trump, never wanted to put in the work or take responsibility, but he wasn't the mean narcissist that Trump is and is better educated. In other words a modern Republican.

He's waiting to run from the cave in four years, dragging his knuckles into the public.
