10. I'm not sure how a conservative Dem wins either

at least against Ryan. From what I've seen elsewhere online in regards to his seat, the only real scenario of victory means a progressive Dem getting people on the left fired up to vote, and Republicans being unhappy enough to stay home. How else do you flip a district where Trump is more popular than Ryan? Not by running a boring centerist/conservative. That sort of candidate won't create any kind of voter enthusiasm, and won't syphon off enough people who fell for Trump's populist message.
