      That's exactly right. He didn't last very long in his post, did he? The Roman Senate term-limited that guy real nice and quick.

        Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
        cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
        for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
        you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
        awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
        If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
        Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
        was no less than his. If then that friend demand
        why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
        --Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
        Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
        die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
        all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
        as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
        valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
        slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his
        fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his
        ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
        bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
        Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
        any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
        vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;
        for him have I offended.

            Nehlen is a Teabagger turd sandwich, but "soulless globalist" is not exactly an inaccurate description of Paul Ryan, either...

              Sadly I can't disagree with a single thing he said.

                Is there any chance Ryan could get Cantored? He's from the third-richest family in the state and he married into obnoxious OK wealth, so I have to think if the polling gets tight he or one of the more well-heeled in-laws is going to start calling in favors.

                  There's no way will the GOPe will allow that to happen to a sitting Speaker.

                      You're referring to the same party that allowed Trump to win the nomination?

                        If Drumpf wasnt endorsing the guy running against him I would say there is a chance...but he should be safe for now.

                              The consensus is he's gonna make it through. Here's the thing: his Neo-Randian economics is morally disgusting and mentally puerile, but he's done a competent political job as Speaker when faced with a sh-tshow, and the GOP is going to need politicians to repair the damage after Trump. If I were a Republican, I would re-up. The poor sap is actually one of their least craptastic leaders.
