The omnibus bill and screwing up the midterms was his parting shot to the republican party.

Quite the rumor.

Ryan's office is denying it.

At this point, however, he hasn't even decided if he's running for reelection. He's saying he'll decide late in the spring.

Has anyone ever not denied a rumor? Then a few weeks later--rumor confirmed.
