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!
Just curious, who do you support? And you realize that unless the Retard party decides to steal the nomination from The Donald it's going to be Trump vs. Clinton right? Actually I think Jill Stein is the best candidate but the Green party isn't going to win under any circumstances. So if Trump fails, here's your new First Couple: Trump is a wild card but it's the last best hope. If the wicked witch slithers into 1600 Penn ave it's going to be a total disaster.
