“I think the old Republican order is dead. It’s not coming back. It is over,” said Hannity, a fervent Trump backer. “And Paul Ryan won’t be Speaker [for] very long.”

On a conference call this week, at least eight House Republicans brazenly scolded Ryan when he announced he would not defend or campaign with Trump anymore after a 2005 recording emerged of Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women. Only two colleagues sided with Ryan, sources said.

“I think Ryan probably will be hurt regardless of the election outcome,” said one of Ryan’s House GOP colleagues, a Trump backer who listened to the call.

“I think Paul comes out the biggest loser,” added another House Republican who described Ryan as a friend. “If Trump loses, Paul and the establishment will be blamed by the grass roots.”

The Speaker’s aides and allies are downplaying the latest dust-up between Trump and Ryan, saying they don’t believe Trump’s attacks will cause permanent damage to Ryan’s future political prospects.
