You are probably wrong.

well i thought like yall until i just saw this clip a few minutes ago. Don is all fired up man. He's reading the web and getting educated. Won't be long before the trail leads him to agree with the whole Ron Paul platform, and he has clout to compete with the Globalists here at home. just sayin it struck me that he seems a little different and fired up and together could wipe obama im pretty sure about that.

Very anti-free trade (wants high tariffs against China), probably doesn't know much about our monetary system, ok on military I think, and the other day an article was posted that said he is for taxing the rich to pay off the debt.

He said that the first thing he will do when he gets into office is crash the global economy (25% tariff on all Chinese imports). No thanks.

Ron Paul educated millions of people over a few months. What if Trump came around to agree with Paul. Trump is smart he might decide Ron is right. What if that happened? It would have to be Trump/Paul though, because i woudlnt trust Trump to not off Paul in order to become president heh. hey its politics. We know though that Paul as vice president wouldnt backstab anyone.
kinda sucks to have to go there but be realistic.

I just saw Trump on O'Reilly. I honestly had no idea that Trump was such a dip shit. He's a warmongering imperialist protectionist. And he sounds utterly uneducated in politics or foreign affairs. He said we should stay in Iraq forever and take all of the oil we need. He says that Chinese imports should be charged a 25% tax. He is also appears to be saying what the GOP dip shit base wants to hear. O'Reilly says he polls even with Mitt Romney at 10%. Trump is a pathetic laughing stock. Rand would reduce him to a blithering crumpled humiliated wreck in a debate.

Like what if he had any idea whatsoever about what he is talking about. I am astonished at how ignorant Trump is and what a chameleon charlatan he is. He just needs to keep building condos in Manhattan with his daddy's money.

I'll be you a silver dollar that after Trump drops out of the primaries (if he even participates) he will not be rooting for Ron Paul.

Besides even if Paul/Trump won the presidency, Trump would constantly try to steal the spotlight and would inject much poison into the legitimacy of a Paul presidency.

When I said he was a sideshow, I was literally meaning it. He isn't running, he doesn't have policies. He's just being sensationalistic because he likes the attention.

Gee, these are incredibly tempting selling points. He might come around and put the nation's interests ahead of both his own interests and his own ego for the first time in his life, he might not off our man if we let him have all the power and support him for no return whatsoever, and then we get a Democratic operative who has given only to powermongering liberals in his political past to chase all the Republican primary voters away.

Such a deal.

Wake me when he wins the primary and asks Paul to be his running mate, and we'll talk. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm so tired I could do a Rip van Winkle.

If China is using its manufacturing base to produce products in an irresponsible way, such as mass polution from chemicles use to varnish furniture or fireproof things and that cheating of the system is the only reason they are able to produce more cheaply... why not?

You can play by the rules, but if someone else is not your just lieing to yourself and living beneath your means... in a free trade economy with the liberty to produce, you also have an equal responsibility. You cannot have one without the other.

Someone just called into the Savage Nation and proposed this. I believe they did this because they were talking about Trump and the caller used it as a way to sneak in a mention of Ron. Nice move but Savage shut him down with the isolationist and dangerous foreign policy talk.

Is Savage bi-polar? One day he's amp'd on Paul, and the next day is badmouthing him. WTF, Savage?

Oh yea... and Trump's a sideshow freak. He should stick with his so called "reality" tv show, and getting a few ribs removed...

Lol! You must be new 'round here ;) I guess you didn't know Trump hates Ron Paul and called him a joke with no chance, and that Paul wrote an open letter declining participation in Trump's newest reality T.V. show, "Republican Debate."

Donald Trump is a clown, an absolute buffon.

I mean, heck, the man got roasted on Comedy Central. He eats pizza with a fork. He wears a small animal of indeterminate origin on his head. He insults Dr. Paul on a regular basis. He's a reality television host. He's gone bankrupt multiple times. He's viewed as pompous and excessive. He needs his name big and bold.

Forget him. Never. Blah.
