What are Randy Bryce's chances in 2018?

He seems to be creating a lot of energy in a push to unseat Paul Ryan, and he seems like the perfect person to do it. Blue collar in a blue collar state, about the furthest thing from the establishment as possible.

I also know Ryan won his district by 27 points in 2014 and it's heavily gerrymandered. Does Randy Bryce have a shot here? I feel like he's going to do a lot better than whatever other Democrat would oppose Ryan.

He is not going to unseat Paul Ryan. There is a zero percent chance that Ryan will run again. grantcart Dec 2017 #5

And Ryan as a whore for his donors. Might give him a punchers chance.

He talks about his job as an iron worker and how getting work in a unionized industry made the difference between struggling and having a decent life. He always has plenty to say about Ryan's backers, too.

don't want to see battle in the primary when could use most $$ and momentum in general election.

I like Randy Bryce - seems very authentic. Everything Ryan is not.

bill is Ryan's wet dream come true.

Now he can retire in the supremely snug knowledge that he has screwed over millions of working class people.
