Video: Ron Paul confirms he is NOT supporting Donald Trump for U.S. president
Economic Collapse News ^ | May 23, 2016 | Andrew Moran

Posted on 05/29/2016 4:18:40 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Texas Republican Congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul confirmed in an interview with the Fox Business Network that he will not be supporting Donald Trump for United States president.

He said in jest that he’s waiting for Trump to become a libertarian. When asked if there’s anything that Trump could say that would help change his mind, Paul replied that he wouldn’t know what to believe since “he’s all over the map.”

The entire four-minute interview is embedded below:

This is different from his son, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who said he will support the GOP nominee, which will be Donald Trump, but not fully endorse anybody (SEE: Rand Paul endorses Donald Trump, Ron Paul won’t vote for GOP nominee). You can see his comments in the video below, which preceded his remarks in the cited article above).

Ron Paul not supporting Donald can only help Donald with 99 percent of the voters. But a few flakes aside. The more support there is for Trump the better

When Trump is president, and people start paying real attention to what is going on, and how things work... Ron’s work in the Treasury is going to be under scrutiny.

And he doesn’t want people to know how the Fed and the Treasury work together.

Ron Paul, father of Rand Paul? That Ron Paul? Whatever happened to him anyway. He seems to have withered. Did someone feed him some Miracle Gro. I’d just as soon have him back in the cracks of my patio pavers than in the window boxes off the dining room. Creeping vine he was. Hard to get rid of.

Since the Libertarians have picked "Open Borders Gary Johnston" as their candidate, I am now a lot more Behind Trump. Ron cam remain in a room by himself.

‘Purist’ Libertarians like Ron Paul would rather remain ‘pure’ rather than actually solving problems in the real world. Just as well, because most of their solutions are unworkable because they ignore reality.

I really could care a less who the weed-smoking conservative wing of politicians support.

Whenever I see a picture of RP, he reminds me of a cross between Timothy Leary and that cult leader that had all his followers wear purple Nike shoes and then gave them poison to drink

Wrong Paul is the guy who went on the political talk shows in 1991 and 1992 insisting that the use of A9 armored bulldozers and tanks with plow attachments to clear trench systems during the Gulf War had been tantamount to war crimes.

He's also the guy who, for years, touted the need for a full investigation of the FED, saying that if he ever gained the position do do so, he would, by golly do it to the hilt. Well, in 2010, he got his wish when he was named chairman of the committee in charge, and didn't do diddly-dick about that long-awaited investigation. Someone must've shown him the abyss; but what a poser!

Quoting from the article here:

“This is different from his son, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who said he will support the GOP nominee, which will be Donald Trump...”

If Ron Paul will not support Trump, that makes me think Trump can win. After all, Ron Paul generally supports losers, not winners.
