He leaves Washington is more chaotic than ever. Just counting crises, President Donald trump is planning attacks in Syria, when performing verbal attacks on his own Ministry of justice.
Add to this mix the deteriorating political climate for the Republican party trump. Ryan joins a record list of house GOP retirements are more likely to come based on the signals from this output.
The “brain drain” is remarkable: not including the speaker himself, at least 11 men and women who have been or are chairs of the Committee during the current session of Congress will come from home exclusively next year. This list includes anyone who leaves the house of his choice.
This means fewer experienced hands, either to keep the President’s agenda on the rails, or to control some of their impulses. In any case, wild rides far from complete.

There is a chance that this Congress can pass this year important legislation even slimmer yesterday, when the speaker Paul Ryan announced his retirement.
For Example, Resp. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-FLA., who is actively involved in the push to pass an immigration package, told ABC news that Ryan is leaving, it turns out “harder”.
For Democrats, this is an interesting consequence of Rian news. They are trying to work with him, knowing that if they don’t win the house in November, the Republican who replaces Ryan is likely to be more conservative in this matter, and are unlikely to spend much political capital on it?

Ryan said Wednesday that one of the reasons why he and other Republicans in Congress is they have done so much.
Reality check: one big piece of legislation they passed was the tax reform. To be fair, it was one of the priorities of Ryan, but only one of them.
And if he, of all people, is not happy working on what GOP tax bill, what can be said for the other Republican candidates are vying for the achievements to present to voters?
