I hear what you're saying, but it appears that Trump voters will not turn out for candidates that are not Trump. I gather you are a Trump supporter, you must understand that if the house goes Democrat Trump will be impeached. Ryan is not resigning because he doesn't get along with Trump - he is resigning because he believes he is going to lose.
At the end of the day, the voters don't make laws, they elect officials to do it. The republicans want to stay in office. If they can't raise money because people believe they are going to lose, they will leave office. It appears the national mood is 10 - 15% more democrat leaning OR republicans are not turning out. Either way, Trump is already hobbled by the media, so he will not be like Clinton and recover. He will continue to be attacked and will therefore probably lose in 2020 or choose not to run.
Again, Trump is smarter than I am. I try not to underestimate him. But what path does he have?
