A liberal judge only losing Paul Ryan’s district by 5% is something.

Big soy fighting Republicans would just play out a pre-existing narrative, they'd just make it literal.

God damn it, who are these meme wizards making their memes reality?

Hard to overstate how big a deal that is. A lot of conservative donors and potential candidates will be forming very dark assumptions about 2018, now, and it will affect their decisions.

Wow. Did he a pull a Boehner and basically say "screw you guys, I'm out?"
Or did he legitimately think he would get beat?

He was polling low enough against his opponent for there to be the potential of a loss, which I’m sure is the last thing he wants to risk ending on. But he isn’t enjoying any of this either, and the word has been out for a while that it might happen.

I find it most interesting that the word is coming out on the same day he’s due to have dinner with the president, and probably get asked for loyalty or more.

If I were the Republican Party, I’d definitely take SOME action against Trump in order to upset Democrat enthusiasm, and then I’d try like hell to run Robert Mueller in 2020. Their base will froth in the moment, but they’ll always fall in line with time and anti-abortion promises. And running Mueller would thoroughly revoke the shadow of 2017/18’s weak simpering.
