He thinks things aren’t going his way? That maybe his team will lose the majority? He up ‘n’ quits. Takes the ball and runs home.

Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, stuck around. When she had to relinquish the Speakership, she stayed, and kept fighting. Showing resilience, strength, grace, and class.

Paul Ryan decided to be a quitter. He’s nothing but a tall gangly chicken with no usable meat and a widow’s peak. There’s your “fearless leader,” Congressional CONS. Cute, ‘eh? Run away, Paul! Run away! Denny Hastert before him did the same thing. Threw in the towel and ran away rather than face having to hand the gavel over.

It’s clear who really wears the pants here. In this case, a pantsuit! The irony is rather delicious.

And as for Eddie Munster, he'll probably drink himself to death - like his idol Joe McCarthy did.
