I'm thinking more along the lines of the old TV show, F Troop. When the soldiers stationed at F Troop mustered into line for roll call, and a request was made for a volunteer, Corporal Agarn was always the volunteer. . .because everyone else in line took a step backwards, leaving him in position and appearing as though he had stepped forward.
And that is why Paul Ryan will be the next Speaker of the House.

I think that's an inaccurate read on the situation. They want someone who will go over the line in brinkmanship.
Paul Ryan would be an idiot to take the job, it'd be career suicide. The first time the hostage-taking strategy fails, they'll blame him rather than the idiocy of hostage-taking strategies by a group that doesn't have the power dynamic to make the changes they want to.
