Peter Thiel — a co-founder of Paypal, board member at Facebook and prominent promoter of the libertarianism — is now a supporter of Donald Trump. On Monday, Trump revealed his slate of delegates for California in district 12, which covers San Francisco. One of the delegates pledged to Trump is Peter Thiel. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is also a pledged delegate for Trump in his congressional district. Thiel in 2012 donated over $2.5 million to a Ron Paul Super PAC, he said at the time, “The campaign really is for 2016. He added, “I think we’re just trying to build a libertarian base for the next cycle.” And while he is supporting Trump now, in a 2014 interview with TheDC’s Jamie Weinstein, Thiel said Trump is “sort of symptomatic of everything that is wrong with New York City.” Poster’s Note:

I wasn't hatched like you, sargent tater.
RonPaul.com founders endorse Donald Trump for president. Donald Trump personifies the Liberty Movement’s finest anti-establishment spirit. He is the only rational choice left in the presidential race for those of us who hold liberty dear. Just like Ron Paul, Donald Trump loves America and Americans, and we find it fascinating that he arrived at many of the same positions as Ron Paul not by extrapolating them from libertarian principles but by applying his ample business experience and sheer human decency. […] We’re all in for Donald Trump. Join us, and him, in Making America Great Again!
Counterfeit endorsement from some jerks not affiliated with Ron Paul at all. Ron Paul has made it perfectly clear that he is NOT wasting his vote on Trump. Where are all the 'Paultard' libertarians in 2016? Last month, Walter Block, a libertarian professor of economics and long-time acolyte of Ron Paul, pinched his nose and co-launched a group, Libertarians for Trump. That would be Donald Trump — the red-tailed hawk of border security, defender of entitlements and opponent of free-trade. Not exactly a disciple of Ayn Rand, the novelist famous for "Atlas Shrugged" who has inspired many libertarians. Block's group, he freely admits, is a strenuous exercise of realpolitik — the ultimate lesser-of-evils decision. While he finds much of Trump's domestic agenda odious, Block very much likes Trump's noninterventionist foreign policy positions. Still, Block insists his group, which he says had garnered several thousand signatories, is narrowly focused. It advocates only for Trump as the Republican nominee, and it intends to promptly disband after the primary. Then, Block said, even his vote is up for grabs. "If it was Bernie [Sanders] versus Donald, I would vote for the Libertarian [Party candidate] for sure," he told CNBC.com. "If it was Donald versus Hillary [Clinton], I would have a much harder time. I would have trouble deciding." His conundrum is not unique among his kind. Four years after its political awakening, and in the absence of an obvious rallying point, the Ron Paul coalition finds itself in a diffuse, conflicted and confused diaspora.

I toldja paultards were going to be trumptards, too. Which means either they were right all along or you've become a koo-koo koo-koo.
What, HUH? Just a couple of days ago, you were calling them "Paultards" and claimed that they overwhelmingly supported Bernie #70. To: Deckard (#63) (Edited) There is no evidence to support your ludicrous claim. Ludicrous claim you say ... The Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders Connection Why do former Ron Paul supporters now support Bernie? How I Evolved From a Ron Paul Supporter to a Bernie Sanders Supporter
In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Uh - No thanks. Meet the new boss - same as the old boss. Did Donald Trump Just Go Full Establishment? As noted by Zero Hedge: “Trump announced that heading up his own personal fundraising operation as national finance chairman will be Steven Mnuchin, a long-time business associate, chairman and CEO of the hedge fund Dune Capital. More importantly, however, he spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs where he was most recently a Partner, having built a fortune of $46 million before launching his own hedge fund. “While employed at Goldman, he purchased the remains of IndyMac Bank (now known as OneWest Bank), the Pasadena, California-based mortgage lender that collapsed in 2008. ‘Notoriously press-shy, the executive endured 2011 protests on the lawn of his Bel Air mansion by foreclosed homeowners angered at his lender’s handling of soured mortgages.’” After digging a little deeper, it turns out Mnuchin has an even more surprising former employer: none other than democratic political financier, billionaire, and Hillary Clinton donor George Soros. “In addition to Goldman, Mnuchin also worked at Soros Fund Management, whose founder, George Soros, has funded many left-leaning causes. Where it gets even more bizarre is that Mnuchin has donated frequently to Democrats, including to Clinton and Barack Obama.” Trump has begun to surround himself with neocon Republican establishment icons. As Dan Sanchez explains: “Trump’s circle now includes such mainstream warmongers as Rudolph Giuliani, Chris Christie, Richard Haass (current president of the Council on Foreign Relations), and Senator Jeff Sessions. Trump has even identified John Bolton, an Iraq War architect and close ally of the neocons, as a ‘go to’ expert for advice on national security.” It appears Donald Trump’s days as an anti-establishment outsider have come to a close now that he’s gearing up for the general election (most likely) against Hillary Clinton — another politician with ties to Goldman Sachs. It appears that regardless of who winds up winning the presidency in 2016, Goldman Sachs will remain the unbeatable incumbent. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much The Bernie Sanders supporters are saying they will vote for Trump if Hillary gets the Democratic nomination. These 3 were wise and made the decision early ... Don't worry ... I'll keep you straight ... but you must start listening to me more closely!
Start practicing ... quietly at first ... then get louder each time you say: President Trump ... President Trump ... PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! Attaboy ...
Exclusive: Trump surges in support, almost even with Clinton in national U.S. poll
Donald Trump Gets A Big Libertarian Endorsement
Goldman Sachs, Mr. Potato Head, Trumpkins, Meet the new boss - same as the old boss. Damned I didn't know Obama was going to block Muslims, build a wall, cut taxes, prosecute the Hillary, quit attacking christians. I must have missed those.
Ron Paul has made it perfectly clear that he is NOT wasting his vote on Trump. I voted for Ron Paul in primaries. I'm for Trump. Trump is to conservative your liberal ass wipers like yourself. You like faggot Gay Johnson because he is for murdering american babies and replacing them with wetbacks anchor babies. You liberals should visit Jack Kevorkian. Or just do it yourself.
Mitt Romney quit killing Massachusetts babies and replacing them with obama's uncles, for 10 minutes, so you voted for him. Massachusetts Mitt's illegal aliens, doing the drunk driving on sidewalks that Americans won't. Mitt was my last choice and running against Obama. You can fault me for that if you want. But Gay Johnson is your first choice and you pimp for him all the time. You liberals are stupidly amusing.
The chickens are coming home to roost … at least the smart ones are.

It would be a great tragedy for our fellow Ron Paul supporters to sit out this election. To beat the GOPe and preempt a brokered convention, Trump needs many decisive victories so he can accumulate enough delegates to carry the nomination on the first ballot. This time around, our support can make a real difference!
When will you wise up?

Why do so many Paultards now support Bernie when Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul are such complete opposites on the political spectrum?
Bernie Sanders Is Clearly Capturing Part of the Ron Paul Student Vote - Libertarian students for avowed socialism.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
