Look for him to land a nice 'consulting' job.

The Republican party became the ReTrumplican party, and left Paul Ryan in the dust.

[Jarod]

He also knows that he's going to lose the majority/speakership after November

I Spit On America thinks that Ryan is a neocon? Tea Party darling, Ayn Rand-following Ryan? LOLOL

 

[Jarod]

Likely..

So the question I have now is will the Republican party re-emerge, or did the ReTrumplican party take it over?

Depends on the district. Many are still anchored to the trump base. They can't go against trump, unless the moron does something even dumber....like for Rosenstein/Mueller.
