Hopefully he's gone for good but at his age he could pull a Nixon and get nominated and maybe elected as president at a later date. 2024, maybe 2028.

After losing the Presidency to JFK in 1960 he ran for, and was defeated by Pat Brown, Jerry's dad, in the 1962 California gubernatorial election in 1962. His concession speech ended with the self pitying line directed to the press," You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.

So Nixon joined a white shoe law firm in Manhattan and ran for and won the presidency in 1968.

Fortunately, Ryan isn't nearly as intelligent or as patient or cunning as Nixon was.

This sounds very credible. Ryan planned to blame the defeat on Trump and not the GOP. Nitram Apr 2018 #18
