Former Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Friday he couldn’t support GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump if Mr. Trump wins the party’s nomination, saying Mr. Trump’s views on the scope of executive authority could surpass those of President Obama. “No, I couldn’t do that,” Mr. Paul said on Fox Business Network when asked if he would support Mr. Trump, should the billionaire businessman win the GOP nomination. “He’s [the] opposite of a libertarian.” Mr. Paul, a three-time presidential candidate, said on foreign policy, Mr. Trump probably wouldn’t be that much different than former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. “I think the die-hard neoconservatives would not be that extremely unhappy with Hillary,” Mr. Paul said. “Trump is going to be the most efficient [at] using the executive orders,” he said. “He’ll say this is the way it is, you know. Obama was pretty arrogant. If you don’t do it, [the] Congress, I’ll write an order. Well, I think Trump [will] be 10 times worse on writing orders because he’s used to doing this, and he brags about it.” “He wants to be the boss. I’m not looking for a boss. We want somebody that will allow us to be our own boss, is what I think we should be looking for,” Mr. Paul said.

Who cares what the washed up old man says now. He's a liar- he lied to his supporters about making a deal with Romney, and then disappeared while his campaign took their money. Frankly, as one who has supported this man for years, I'd be happy if I never heard from him again. His time has come and gone- and now we're all stuck with his neo-con punk kid Rand. Hopefully Rand will lose his senate seat. NO MORE PAULS Time to BUST UP DC- Trump for Victory LIVE Stream: Donald Trump Rally in Salt Lake City, UT (3-18-16) (replay on now)

A touching story of how Trump tried to bribe a veteran with $1,000,000 to protect him from Megyn Kelly, but he refused to help the cowardly Donald. Sweet!
You were never a supporter but you've no doubt deluded yourself into thinking that you were.
