Ron Paul Spokesman: Candidate Unlikely To Ever Endorse Romney

NPR - Liz Halloran

Presidential candidate Ron Paul is not expected to ultimately endorse presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, Paul's chief strategist said Tuesday.

"Never say never, but I don't believe that's likely," said Jesse Benton, during a half-hour-plus give-and-take with reporters.

There you have it. Ron Paul isn't going to endorse Romney. You Ron Paul haters can whine all you like, but it doesn't change the facts. Ron Paul isn't dropping out. He isn't giving up. He's in this to the end. Take it or leave it. And if you don't believe me, go ahead -- read the article.

I've done my part, ATS, now it is up to you where the discussion goes.

Yeah, this isn't news to most people, supporters or not. Although, there are some RP haters who insist RP will most likely endorse Mitt and even go as far as saying he will be Mitt's VP. It's clear to any RP supporter that if Paul endorses or becomes Mitt's VP said supporter will no longer support the Paul. Ron Paul would become the biggest hypocrite of 2012 if he ever supported Mitt or any of the others. Ron is all in, or nothing.

No one believes it is likely...but he did say "never say never"...but right after that he said he would never endorse Gary Johnson.

So...that means the door is still open and it isn't out of the question yet.

Libertarian is a different concept from republican, and they are not mutually exclusive.

Libertarianism is an ideology, republican is a "team".

I think you might be referring to the "Libertarian Party", which is not libertarianism, it's only another team.

Why would he? Romney is the poster boy for what is wrong with this country.
Dr. Paul wants to fix it, not contribute to it.

I have news for you.

We are taking over the Republican Party. Supporting the same message as Ron Paul is what the Republican party is becoming.

We are taking over Party positions, we are getting elected in local offices, state offices, and federal.

Welcome to the new Republican Party.

Ron Paul 2012

Maybe he will, maybe he won't, but I can tell you one thing, he ain't ganna attack Romney directly anymore (not that he has done so in anycase). Ron Paul has Rand's future in mind and this is a fact, 2016 or 2020 is just around the corner.
