The Donald at CPAC: Ron Paul Can't Win

In an unexpected appearance at CPAC Thursday, businessman and television personality Donald Trump said that America needs a winner to run against President Obama in the next election - and libertarian icon Ron Paul isn't it.

Ron Paul is the best candidate for our country. Man, the commercials are ruining the whole internet experience. You think your gonna see the video you clicked, and Bam. Commercial. You just gotta stay away from the big corporate channels.

@ladylordess "paid political paul activists"? People follow Paul because they believe in the message of truth, and liberty. Not because they are paid. Please remind me how can a man that doesn't get millions of dollars in funding by private interests afford to pay his own supporters? FACT: 2008 election Paul raised more donations than any other candidate from ordinary people, why would he then turn around and pay for supporters?

Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know who I was going to vote for for president until JUST now. It's got to be Donald! I can't resist the hubris, the comb-over, and general douchebaginess of this guy! He would make a perfect president because he fits the current mold.

He just made enemies of the whole Tea Party movement.

@chewbaca1989 hey, don't rag on me, I've been in favor of Ron Paul ever since he started running and voted for him every time because he's as close to one of the Founding Fathers as one is going to get these days.

you would think the teabagging republicants would welcome this kind of attitude since the don is the poster child of person who has profited greatly from capitalism.

@ladylordess what a crock of b.s. lady, over half of my family and friends have served in the armed services, most of who are dead now, 2 during ww II, 1 during Korea, 3 during Vietnam, 3 in gulf war 1 & 1 in gulf war 2 who was killed by an IED 3 years ago, & you tell me to have respect for America, so what does all these war veterans have in common with Ron Paul ? They knew corrupt government when they seen it and had the same views that Ron Paul has! How do you respect the US? sell it out ?

@ladylordess simple as this, he doesn't give a damn as long as he can line his pockets !!! You best do your history lady, and I'm NOT talking about that crap that they offer in high school and college textbooks. You also do NOT see trump calling for the auditing and ending of the Federal Reserve as Paul does, now, do you ?!?!? Because if the federal reserve was shut down, trump's dollars wouldn't be worth a tinker's damn now, woud they ?
