I’d go with Rand Paul and Ted Cruz over Paul Ryan. The American Conservative brings you into focus on the three.

Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz are both popular speakers on the conservative dinner circuit. They have both taken their shows on the road to such familiar destinations as New Hampshire and Iowa. They could both be on the presidential ballot in those states in early 2016. Both have deep roots in the conservative movement.
