And he used the “it’s time to coalesce around a nominee”, “this has been such a brutal primary season”, “if we take it to the convention... blah blah blah..
First DeMint, now Ryan. Oh where have you gone Tea Party, where have you gone?

Are you kidding? Some big wigs in the Tea Party already endorsed Romney.
Well, folks, I hope you will all be happy under the Obama regime.
We're all still out here. It's basically reality check time. We cannot allow obama to dig us in deeper than he already has. He is without a doubt deliberately dividing and deconstructing our country. Hating Romney and sitting this one out isn't going to help. If obama gets another four years (or more), there will be no turning back.
I didn’t leave the Tea Party. The Tea Party left me. LOLOL
I’ll say it again, these people are not real conservatives: Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul, etc.
I had high hopes for Paul Ryan, but when I saw him voting with Boehner, I knew he’s a RINO in conservative clothing. This endorsement comes as no surprise.
OTOH, Michele Bachmann, Steve King, and Ted Poe are the real deal.
It is NOT time to “coalesce” around a RINO nominee. Think 2010. We the People have a say, and it’s time to show this once again to Paul Ryan, et al.
PS: the primary season has been “brutal” because the RINO pick has made it so.
The Tea Party got infiltrated by the “Purity Caucus” and ended up bouncing off and tripping up all of the good and exciting candidates or running off when the Rom smear machine got going.
Now we have pure bulls*it to work with.
Looks like the fix is in.
It’s almost like some people want 0bama to win another term.
The Tea Party has become watered down and weak. Guess they were bought and paid for with Romney’s Super Pac money.
There isn’t one ‘tea party’. There’s hundreds of them.
Ryan and DeMint are politicians. They are better than some, but they are still politicians. Most of the conservatives who are backing Romney are doing so because they think he can win, because that’s what the consultants are telling them.
Maybe they were an illusion from the start: too uninformed to make a difference.
I don’t understand why people are so shocked that conservative leaders are picking Romney over Santorum. I’m a Gingrich guy, but he’s done(was a Cain guy previously and I was initially hopeful that a few other conservatives would give it a shot).
I’m still voting for Gingrich unless he bails, but when I’m just looking at Santorum and Romney, I actually like the candidate Romney is pretending to be substantially more than the candidate Santorum actually is. There’s nothing particularly appealing about Rick Santorum to me. I’ll vote for him if he’s the candidate, but I’m not a fan. Congressional conservatives probably don’t like either of the choices, but think Romney is more likely to win.
He is basically saying that we need time to build our organization and that if we wait until convention that there will not be time to do this. It is coming down to who has the best chance to beat Obama, and Romney has the best (albeit it VERY limited) chance to do so
Ryan sees many faults in Romney, including his weak fiscal stances in MA. Ryan was also likely told that he would be left to hang by the GOP-E if he did not endorse Romney. Now he will be safe and only Duffy and Ribble will be left to hang.
I never have trusted Paul Ryan after he voted with democrats
I HAVE RYAN - NEWT!!
“this has been such a brutal primary season”
Because of LIARS LIKE MITT!! And the GOP E supports a POS - a known LIAR, PRO HOMO, PRO ABORTION, Anti traditional marriage, BIG GOV'T socialistic ROMNEYOBAMACARE, appointing liberal judges candidate to led our great country. I DON'T and WON'T.
FUGOPE
We’re still out here, tbf. and this primary season better mobilize us like nothing this country has ever seen.
If not, the Tea Party will only be someone that I used to know.
