Actually, I'm going to give them a little credit here. It's easy to preach to the choir, or to mute your real message before an unfriendly crowd, but Ryan went in front of crowd he knew would be unreceptive, and he told the truth about their plan. I may vehemently disagree with that plan, but I give him some credit.
