Paul Ryan's Book Interview

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/paul-rya...r-party-unity/

First:

"Ryan wrote in his new book that came out last week that he believed the Republican attempt to defund Obamacare by shutting down the government was "a suicide mission" but that too many members of his own party were unwilling to abandon the idea for fear that they would be punished by outside groups aligned with the tea party."

And then:

"I have differences with different people in the party but that's okay. I want to have a big Republican party with a big tent that gives the country a better future that can win the majority of votes in this country. We need to win the Electoral College. We need to win national elections so we can get this country on the right track. And whoever our nominee is going to be is going to need everybody's help."

How can you have a big Republican Party when you yourself did not stand up to the fringe element of your party? Or are you campaigning already and if so your first statement does not bode well.
