Yes, that was slight hyperbole. Paul Ryan is obviously not fringe, but he's not mainstream either. There's something in between, and he's it. In my opinion, he and his supporters have a much better chance of slipping back to fringe than they do ascending to mainstream. And I think Rand, specifically, can truly be called fringe at this point in time.
