Ron Paul vs. Donald Trump

Another story:

Donald Trump makes a surprise appearance at CPAC to say he hasn't ruled out seeking the Republican nomination. Trump won cheers from the conservative crowd until he said Rep. Ron Paul had no chance of getting elected. Then the catcalls started.
...
For much of his appearance on the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump had the crowd eating out his hand until he hit a tripwire, telling them that Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian from Texas, had no chance of getting elected. The cheers then turned to catcalls.

"I like Ron Paul, but he has no chance of getting elected," Trump said. Paul won the presidential straw poll at CPAC last year.

Leave it to CBS. Here's the Headline "Donald Trump: Ron Paul Can't Win"

Businessman and television personality Donald Trump says that America needs a winner to run against President Obama in the next election - and libertarian icon Ron Paul isn't it.

"Ron Paul cannot get elected, I'm sorry," Trump said to a rowdy audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. today.

Wow... it goes on...

"The remark elicited a huge commotion from the crowd, which was packed with young fans of the Texas Republican, who made a splash in the 2008 Republican primary by gaining the fervent support of libertarians but ultimately won minimal support. Paul's political action committee put together an extensive campaign to bring his young supporters to this week's conference, which is considered a platform of sorts for potential presidential contenders."

(yes, that's the article's own emphasis)
 
Im there, it was fuckin nuts guys. Never yelled "get of the stage" louder. Ron will kill in the straw poll
 
Here we go. Big time spin from Time. Plays up Trump, laughs at Ron, tries to make it out like all of the "young people" back Trump and don't like Ron...

On Day One Of CPAC, Donald Trump Steals The Show

Newt Gingrich talked policies, and the crowd seemed to like it. Rick Santorum announced that "America belongs to God," and he was politely applauded. But it was Donald Trump, a real estate investor who became a reality show star, who finally got the crowd's 2012 election juices going on the first day of the Conservative Political Action Committee conference. And it sure sounded like the Donald was running for president.
...
The conservative crowd, heavily populated by college students in ill-fitting suits, ate it up, standing and cheering at several points during the speech. One of Trump's biggest cheers came when Trump responded to some Libertarian hoots from the crowd, "By the way, Ron Paul cannot get elected. I'm sorry."

Politico implies that everyone was there for Trump...

CPAC to Trump: You're hired!

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 2/10/11 4:46 PM EST

If CPAC is a primary for self-confidence, Donald Trump won hands down.

The real-estate mogul with a genius for self-promotion gave the most-acclaimed — and most colorful — speech at the conservative gathering this afternoon, from the moment he took the stage to the song "Money, Money, Money."

With no visible sense of irony, he slammed libertarian Ron Paul as a losing hopeful who can't capture the brass ring and got booed by some for it, said our current president came 'out of nowhere," and quoted a business magazine's story about what a terrific entrepreneur he himself is.

Yet he was by far the best-received speaker and the audience lapped up his act, as he read some of a prepared speech and used his hands to punctuate his words. He also hit on social issues "briefly," as he said, saying he's pro-life and anti-gun control. He said he'd dismantle Obama's health care law.

The ballroom attendance bulked up massively in advance of his speech, with conference staffers pleading with people to stop blocking the stairwells and doors.

"You're hired!" a fan screamed from the crowd, and he pointed back at her and said, "You're hired! These are my people. This is beautiful."

reporter: Michael Scherer

uhmmmm.... doesn't he have a long list of "I hate ron paul" moments? And his last name too, is telling.
 
I watched the video. Trump's introduction gave their "surprise" guest credit for filling up the auditorium and overflow rooms. I'm guessing that was the start of the whole thing. It was all cool imo. Fuck Trump.
 
yeah, molehill.

straw poll results is the prize headline out of CPAC. rest of this is inside pool.
