If Speaker Ryan were smart, he'd gather up 23 Republicans in the House

And put Articles of Impeachment on the Floor for a vote. It's clear that both Trump and Pence would go (since Pence knew about Flynn's involvement with Russia as head of the transition team). This would make Ryan the POTUS, but he would be effectively lame-ducked for 3 years.

1. We can dream. But has Ryan ever done a single thing you wished he would? nt

2. If Dems get back control and Ryan (R - Russia) has NOT done this then he should be investigated

3. Ryan smart so he won'tt. Ryan wants a Ford-like VP/Pres to lose in 2020 so Ryan can win 2024 he hope

4. Well, he's not smart.

Ryan has mediocre intellect. He only cares about his policies not about what is good for the nation.

[FakeNoose]

5. He can try it

...but if he does it, he'll be impeached too.

As soon as the Dems get a majority (hopefully next year) do you think we'll take any sh*t from him?
Hell no! Ryan and McConnell are just as tainted as the people in the White House.

6. Yup. Speaker Ryan is extremely smart.

Look at him here, smiling with the guy wearing the T-Shirt.

8. Moron doesn't know his ass from a pothole without handholding from Koch Bros

[Massacure]

7. It would only be smart if he knew he also had the backing from 67 members in the Senate

[onenote]

9. This.

10. Why? He's WINNING

While we sit here and laugh and gloat and point out hypocrisy, the Republicans are winning. They've got most of the states, two branches of government wholesale, and are quickly filling the judiciary with extremist lunatics. Their bills are getting passed, their so-called "policies" are being put in place.

They've finally pulled off the coup we've been expecting since 2001. They know their days are numbered and are by God going to do as much damage as the Koch brothers can pay for.

11. I've read he is implicated as well.

He may be on tape talking about laundering $$ with the Russian ambassador. I guess we'll see, but it would make sense with some of his actions.

12. About Ryan...
