On Charlie Sykes’ Daily Standard Podcast, Weekly Standard Editor-in-Chief Stephen F. Hayes and senior writer John McCormack talk about Speaker Paul Ryan’s retirement announcement, and what it means for the House GOP.

The speaker’s facilitating of Trump and Trumpism represented a failure of courage and leadership that has now ended a once promising career.
Wisconsin is pretty well convinced that Ryan quit over fear of Democrats—and there is much truth there. No politician gives up power without a push. Whether the hostility toward Ryan transfers to any GOP substitute, or if it will diminish now that Ryan is gone—thereby may hang the future of Wisconsin politics.

Ryan’s sudden retirement announcement removes the second of Wisconsin’s hulking conservative figures of the last decade from the political battlefield in a period of months after Priebus’ ignominious ouster from the White House.
