(CNN) Former House Speaker Paul Ryan has largely disappeared from the national political scene. Which makes what he said earlier this week about the House vote to impeach Donald Trump in 2021 all the more notable. "There are a lot of people who say they're going to vote their conscience, they're going to vote for the Constitution, they're going to vote for their convictions but when it gets hard to do that they don't do it." Rice is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. As I wrote at the time , Rice's vote caught Republicans by surprise as he had given little indication of his plan to break from his party.
