The money quote:

“A supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus has voted to support Paul Ryan’s bid to become the next Speaker of the House,” the House Freedom Caucus said in a statement.
Paul is a policy entrepreneur who has developed conservative reforms dealing with a wide variety of subjects, and he has promised to be an ideas-focused Speaker who will advance limited government principles and devolve power to the membership. While no consensus exists among members of the House Freedom Caucus regarding Chairman Ryan’s preconditions for serving, we believe that these issues can be resolved within our Conference in due time. We all know that Washington needs to change the way it does business, and we look forward to working with Paul and all our colleagues to enact process reforms that empower individual representatives and restore respect to our institution.

Sounds like a definite maybe.

[Your Freedom Caucus quote]

....We all know that Washington needs to change the way it does business, ....

Yeah. "We need a Junta leader, a generalissimo, who will throw down the Tea Party on their faces, put his boot on their necks, and dictate the new consensus to them over the barrel of his pistol."

NJ 3 Tom MacArthur(CR=50) - member of Freedom Caucus - as of 10AM Thursday - his staff claims they have no idea of MacArthur's position. They report he has not stated his support for or opposition to Ryan's demands.
