IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
“Speaker Ryan staked his entire credibility on a repeal bill that ended in a humiliating defeat, and his approval rating has taken a nose dive as a result,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law. “What’s so sad for the Speaker is that even Republicans don’t really care for him anymore – a potential disaster for motivating Republican voters to show up to the polls in the midterms.”
