Earlier this week, Ryan's campaign reported it had raised more than $11 million in the latest fundraising period.
Team Ryan said that with the latest $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2018, it has raised more than $54 million during this election cycle.

(5,524 posts)I would let him have it if he would just go away.
He would only be stealing from people who support him so I can't feel sorry for them. It is better than having him steal from government coffers.
Mostly, it would just be good for him to leave when the 4 years are up. Assuming he lasts that long of course.
