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)
You were never a supporter but you've no doubt deluded yourself into thinking that you were.
You just simply can't control yourself, can you. Oh Look- the LF'er who knows everything about everything is now able to read minds! You're really Miss Cleo in disguise, aren't you. If you tell me what the lottery numbers are going to be next week I'll cut you in on some of the winnings. Deal? When was the last time you left your basement- December? I bet when you go out into Real Life and spout off the way you do here on an hourly basis you get some pushback- which is why you never go out anymore. Is that about right? I couldn't care any less what you think about my Paul support or anything else. I've tried to make that clear to you but you're still confused. Because you know everything and can now read minds.
