  rep paul ryan could be out of a job after the election as divided house republicans are already plotting to fire their speaker if trumps defeat triggers a big enough loss of house seats 
  if democrats pick up  house seats or more speaker ryan is going to have a major problem because his job will be in jeopardy politico reported that ryans enemies in the house freedom caucus are divided over whether or not to support him 
  conservative house republicans are plotting with one another and openly pining for ryans ouster because he refuses to change the house rules to all more conservative legislation to be passed the hill is also reporting that conservativehouse republicans are deeply divided on keeping ryan but donald trump could be the wild card that mobilizing an opposition effort to the speaker the businessman has repeatedly criticized ryans leadership and was stung after the speaker said he would not longer defend trump after a  tape emerged in which the gop nominee speaks lewdly about groping and kissing women win or lose on nov  trump could put pressure on house republicans to oppose ryan in a speakership contest 
  ryan is certain to be leading a smaller house majority in january the size of trumps defeat on election day will help decide how many seats republicans lose 
  eight of the nine house republicans who cast votes against ryan for speaker initially will still be around to vote against him again in january 
  those close to ryan say that he would step down as speaker before getting into a protracted fight with his own party but the walls are closing in on speaker ryan 
  the damage trump is causing isnt limited to their white house dreams trump may also cost paul ryan his job as speaker of the house
