Trump said he had a great plan and everyone would love it. Since he never presented anything "Ryancare" gets foisted on him as his plan.

It got him a $20M war chest of campaign donations. It wasn't anywhere close to that before he had that job.

Will he keep his Speaker of the House job?

RUMORS: If RyanCare fails, Trey Gowdy may replace Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House | SHARE
Remember that Ryan is second-in-line to become president, after the fall of Trump. Who would want a weasel like this, to be just a heartbeat away from that office? His Ayn Rand-inspired "Social Darwinism" would end in the extermination of half our population and the complete end of our nation. I would trust him as far as I would a rabid dog, not to bite me. Come on, Wisconsin voters, where's that recall petition?

No it wouldn't. While he is awful (and you can read all over the place where I have argued I hope he is brought down) hyperbole only makes you look silly.

All I'm saying is that Boehner looks like the smartest Republican overall in the past few years.

Ryan is safe, wishful (liberal) thinking to believe otherwise. Like Boehner said 'trying to pass a law in the House is like trying to keep 218 frogs in a wheelbarrow.' That'll take time to change.
