Ron Paul is hitting back at the The Donald — asking what election he’s ever won — after Trump charged that the Texas Republican can’t win the White House.

“I was elected 11 times and somebody said, ‘Well, how many times has Donald Trump been elected?” Paul said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Does he have really the right to criticize others and say they are unelect[able]?”

RP needs to be more careful with how he uses the term "right".

I wish he just kept his mouth shut on this. He was probably asked about it though.

Yeah I wish he used the word "credibility" instead of "right".

The proper language is the most important things that our message oftentimes lacks.

Trump has every right to say it. Sounds like ron means he doesnt lol. Obviously not his viewpoint.

Ron should just focus on Trumps failures of scamming the Bankruptcy loopholes for advancement

Personally I think a battle with trump would help him out in many ways..trump isnt very likable and isn't taken seriousily by many people..but he is well known.

It's a good response if he's pressed but I think he should just say Trump is hardly a voice of political strategy and he doesn't really get distracted by that sort of comment, and let it go with that. Trump is a media whore and not even a factor in politics. He would start a flame war just for publicity and Ron doesn't need unserious distractions like that.

I don't think Ron needs that sort of gimmick. I think it would drag him to a level lower than where he is starting at.

Maybe it'll land Ron a special spot on The View.
