Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul blasted the presidential hopeful, Donald Trump for being “authoritarian” on Alan Colmes’ Show recently.
Paul’s comments about Trump came about when he was asked if Donald Trump was good or bad for the Republican Party, to which Paul replied, chuckling, “Well I don’t even care whether he’s good or bad for the Republican party. I don’t have much interest in that per se. But, I think he’s a dangerous person and a lot of people find him kind of funny and they love him, even libertarian types love him…”
When Colmes presses Paul to explain why Trump is so dangerous, Paul states:
Well, they like him because he is so disruptive … to the party system, and I enjoy that too! But, I think he is a man ….if conditions deteriorate, which they can … people want to be told … what to do ‘And I know what the answer is, and I’ll do this, and I am the man to this.’ … he comes across very well–and people listen to him and I believe that he may be raising white horses on questions and he’s going to ride in…
Paul went on further to say that Trump is the virtual opposite of what a libertarian is, “He’s an authoritarian and he claims that’s how he’s made all his money. So, I see that as dangerous.”
A few months ago, when Trump made his announcement that he would be running for president, he wasted no time in asserting his authority in his speech. He said,
I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we won’t be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who’s making a horrible and laughable deal, who’s just being tapped along as they make weapons right now and then goes into a bicycle race at 72-years-old and falls and breaks his leg. I won’t be doing that. And I promise, I will never be in a bicycle race — that I can tell you.
Trump is a cult. I could take a candidate who had all of Trumps positions and though I wouldnt agree with him 100%, I could proudly support him... but not Trump himself. He is a trojan horse, a false candidate, the wrong messenger..

From Ron Paul that is an endorsement.
Would you eat a piece of crap if Obama said it was terrible?

And you are for ?
Why follow authoritarian with another authoritarian?
False dilemma.
Is this the latest meme? I’m getting confused.
I find Rand Paul and his daddy far scarier than Trump.
I’ll probably vote for Cruz. Just sayin’
Paul and Cruz. It doesn’t matter though. If thosae two weren’t in the race I would still never vote for Trump.
Ron’s own son pledged his support to Trump. He rose his hand when the fox weenie asked all the other weenies if they would support the eventual nominee. It’s becoming more and more apparent that it will be Trump.
Ron needs to get on board.
Indeed, Ron is so convincing.
I'm a proud member of the cult of crazies thank you.
These professional political bed wetters in D.C. don't like strength, real leadership, authority, determination confidence, passion, or even humor. Learn it.
Ron Paul sounds like he took too much acid.
After reading your comment, I think you may have as well.
WELCOME to FR, Noob with nothing on your HOME PAGE.
Bold faced lie, Romney as a Paul supporter. You must be high as a kite.
These irrational attacks on Trump are nothing but a sign of desperation.
