I was speaking mainly of eager anti-party radicals and populists who see Ryan as a way to take down the upper echelons of the party. As for whether he's thought this through, my own biggest question is his end game -- whether he'd use them to gain power then go another way, or...?

Ryan's voted as a good Democrat in a district so strongly Democratic that all he's had to do is vote blue to get reelected. But the exact same thing could be said of Bernie Sanders, who's gotten himself reliably reelected for a quarter century by voting 97% with Democrats, while identifying Independent and insisting that his Democratic colleagues were all corrupt and needed to be replaced with people who walked his line--to save the party of course.
