According to Wikipedia, he lost the primary in his own district when he was house majority speaker. First in history to do so.
Lost his primary in 2014 then resigned before finishing the term.
9 years ago... also Boehner. Didnt think politics could get crazier. How young and naive I was.
What happened to Paul Ryan?
Saw the first two years of Trump and bowed out before it went full insanity. He may be playing it smart and letting the whole Trump thing go away before running for president. We'll see.
Paul Ryan is absolutely going to try to step back into politics once Trump is gone, and act like he's a return to sanity.
He isn't.
I'm not forgiving Paul Ryan for torpedoing the Hearing Protection Act at the one time in recent decades it had a chance to pass.
Is that the ridiculous bill to legalize silencers? It will never pass. Has zero chance. Hey want to save your ears, here's an idea, stop setting off explosions near your head as a hobby. The report is a feature not a bug.
Now they're a complete set of failures!

What would that bill do?
The Speaker position was but a mere stepping stone to their true calling of being wealthy k street lobbyists.
