Washington (CNN) - Mitt Romney has a message to Tea Party candidates nationwide: If you lose your Republican primary bids, stay on the sidelines.
The former Massachusetts governor on Monday warned the grassroots movement not to mount third party efforts in general elections, which he said would siphon votes from Republican nominees.
"If there is a conservative candidate that runs in the general election, then obviously, divide and fail is the result," Romney said in an interview with the conservative Web site Newsmax. "Hopefully Tea Party candidates will run in respective primaries and they will either win or lose. And if they win, they will go into the general. If they lose, they won't, and they will get behind the more conservative of the two finalists."
Romney explained that "dividing our conservative effort in the general elections" would "basically hand the country to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and that would be very sad indeed."

With all due respect, I can't agree with that.
Besides, Donald Trump is going to guarantee the Bam’s reelection because he'll probably go third party in the summer of 2012 after his show is over.
I don't care what comes out of his mouth, Trump WANTS Obama reelected. He's a con man.
I love the Tea Party but some in the movement are inherently stupid. They love Ron Paul that won't EVER become president. I'm sure they were the same idiots that thought Ross Perot was the answer or voted for that lying moron in the NY-26 special election because he was on the
“tea party” ticket. His 9% was enough to give the seat to the Dem. Although the GOP candidate was, as usual for NY, a total loser.
Sarah Is Self-Assured!
You sound like a RomneyBot and you do not post very much
I dont know you and unsolicited you sent me a FReepMail
Please do not do that again
your question needs the light of the open thread
In answer to my #221 you said....
“A guy who deliberately dodged the draft TWICE when his country called upon him to serve...................
Was this by taking the deferrment for being in college or grad school? I really do not know and would like to. This was done by Cheney five times. Do you have a problem with his doing it? I don’t. Republicans attack their own. Dems stick with theirs, no matter how disgusting. We probably can’t win the presidency unless Reagan comes back to life.”
You have been here since 2000 and yet you claim to not know by now why Williad Mitt Romney dodged the draft during Vietnam at least TWICE
then you havent either havent been paying attention
or you are a RomneyBot and therefore in denial
Romney is a yellow bellied coward and not fit to be Commander-in-Chief
There would be no difference.
Why don’t we have control of the U.S. Senate?
Because of the 3000 “third party” voters in MN? Do I get a prize?
I’m sure you’re going to tell us. And I’m also sure the tale you’re about to relate will leave off the part about the establishment RINOs Karl Roving our conservative candidates.
"Gosh, I sure don't want to vote for Olympia Snowe, but we don't DARE allow [Insert Name Here] to be elected to the U.S. Senate!"
"Gosh, I sure don't want to vote for Susan Collins, but we don't DARE allow [Insert Name Here] to be elected to the U.S. Senate!"
"Gosh, I sure don't want to vote for John McCain, but we don't DARE allow [Insert Name Here] to be elected to the U.S. Senate!"
"Gosh, I sure don't want to vote for Scott Brown, but we don't DARE allow [Insert Name Here] to be elected to the U.S. Senate!"
"Gosh, I sure don't want to vote for Lisa Murkowski, but we don't DARE allow [Insert Name Here] to be elected to the U.S. Senate!"
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Some of our tea party candidates certainly shot themselve in the foot with some of their statements. Harry Reid should have been defeated. (I worked very hard to defeat Charlie Crist and am a strong supporter of Marco Rubio)
These bastards act like they own us!
Sarah is Spectacular!
If clown Romney somehow gets elected, he will no doubt continue to lead this nation down a path of destruction by furthering the liberal agenda. He will move the GOP to the left and then republicans will get the blame for the inevitable screwups his liberalism will cause.
Yet, people like you think it would be good to vote for him just to knock out Obama....why can’t you see that having Romney will not get this country back on track and will only further diminish the GOP?
