In this video he outlines his plan for Medicare:

Some on the left, of course, realize that Ryan is a very compelling, intelligent candidate and that they have no argument or plan to put up against him, at least not one that's both truthful and persuasive, so the best thing to do is to prevent him from being heard.

Even so, they're united in believing that nothing will get fixed and will only continue to get worse if we reelect the incumbent.
