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.
Ron Paul is a moron. Anyone who thinks Heroin should be legal is a fucking idiot. Ron Paul wants every immoral vice to be proclaimed as some kind of wonderful virtue. Trump will make trade fair again. Ron Paul will just complain and whine.
Apparently you don't understand anything. Who owns YOUR body Stone?
God.
God. ---- A K A Stone History has shown us many false gods. As an agnostic, until a God manifests itself to me, -- I'll own my own body, thank you...

As an agnostic, until a God manifests itself to me, -- I'll own my own body, thank you... There are more false ones then real ones. It is himself not itself. You'll be waiting until you die. God doesn't do it your way. You have to do it his way. The choice is yours as well as the destination. I hope you find the truth.
Free will.......it's a bitch ain't it.
