I agree with your theory, but I also agree with starik.
Ryan is never going to be relevant again. I think the kingmaker at the 2028 Convention with be MTG. She dropped out before this war started, and won’t have to run in 2026. I look for her to become an omnipresent talking head, bemoaning how MAGA was sold out by Trump.
My theory was that he dipped out of the GOP spotlight to plan his return post-Trump and play the part of the reasonable conservative.
When he returns to the GOP, it will be unrecognizable. It will be like Charlton Heston discovering the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes.
we said they’d blow it all up damn you blow it all to hell
