House Speaker Paul Ryan flopped on Donald Trump Oct. 10 during a conference call with Republican representatives, saying he would no longer stand behind the candidate in the presidential election, reported Wired.
According to Wired, Republicans’ early investment of their reputation in Trump can be similarly applied to poker: ‘Were they pot committed?’ Is it too late to jump ship?
Pot committed suggests that the player has arrived at a point in the poker hand where folding to any bet or raise has become an incorrect play, sometimes called a point of no return.
