Paul Ryan's district is very purple it has a history of voting right or left.. Obama won his district as example.
Ryan stated previously if he thought democrats would win the house that he wouldn't seek re-election because he didn't want to be under a Democrat speaker.. Him sayi g he won't run speaks volumes about what he and his fellow republicans expect this election..

Ryan's district is purple, it voted Obama previously.. Ryan was likely to get beat by this guy hence the reason Ryan is bailing out..

I have argued with crockett many times on this board but he is 100% correct here. The district is not even remotely a safe one. It may have been for Ryan, with his advantage of incumbancy, but if even he assumes he'll lose we should probably accept that as true.
