Perhaps somebody with a better memory or pays more attention an help me with this: I kinda remember Paul Ryan being a young conservative firebrand or something like that when he was first elected. Is there any truth to that memory of mine memory?

Paul Ryan is is pissed there will be no contested convention where the GOP ELITE would have crowned him king.

Paul Ryan volunteers to step down as convention chairman if Trump asks him to do so:

Is that arrogance on Ryan’s part?

Ryan was one of several Congressmen who put out a budget proposal in 2008, which he modified in 2010. In 2011, as Republicans were preparing alternative proposals to counter ObamaCare passed in 2010, Ryan's budget proposal was the most matured of them all and became the framework for the Republican response.

It may not be a case of Ryan being some up and coming Conservative hotshot, but rather someone in the right place at the right time with something that the leadership needed.
