Ron Paul vs. Donald Trump

This is a pretty good article. I feel like this is going to hurt Trump more than anything.

In an interview with CNN [Rand] said Donald Trump will regret taking a dig at Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, during his address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gathering.

I just wonder what those pesky RP supporters will be cooking up for Mr. Trump over the near term?

So I think everybody should get their panties out of a bunch and the stick out their ***** because even Rand was thinking about sticking them a jab.

If I were never aware of Ron Paul THIS would make me want to find out what he was about to get Trump's panties all in a bunch. This is good.

So howcome the Ron Paul supporters were acting like fucking maniacs in the audience while Trump was speaking?? We were warned before hand specifically not to do this. I walked in on the middle of the speech, did Trump provoke this attack by verbally attacking Ron Paul?

Because they're punk kids. All this does is turn off people that might be interested in Ron Paul's message. You don't win people over by acting like jerks.

I think booing Dick Cheney is a popular message in America. And its a healthy message.

It's depressing.

1st off Rand said in a CNN interview that he was thinking about taking a shot at Trump for the statement he made..so its more than obvious Passionate supporters are going to make a little bit of noise. Especially when they are getting lectured to by DONALD TRUMP about budgets and electability.

2nd this may do more good than harm...trump is a big name ...Ron Paul not so much out of the political junkie world. A Ron Paul vs Donald Trump headline might not be so bad after all.

Probably stocking up on these

I love the people on here telling peopleto shit down and shut up. The folks that paid good money to go to Cpac should NOT do that. I certainly would not be quite while Rumsfeld was speaking. And this, in no way, hurts Ron's chances in 12. Let them be wild and crazy, so far the only interesting thing to come out of Cpac on day 1, was Ron Paul supporters. Good job guys!

You beat me to it, though you "phrased" it better than I would have!

Thumbs up!

Yeah, can't ruin someone's fun but I do understand Ron and his respectful ideals. I know Ron gets energized when he's around many of the crowds at college campuses but he knows better than anyone how electrifying it can be to be amongst many RP supporters and the wild tendencies that tend to surface. Young folk don't have that bright looking of a future and they're looking to take it out (non-violently) on those that want to screw them over. That said, four of my friends that attended were all 30s and above and they just called and said they were part of the heckling and would do it again if given the chance. I told them about Ron's call for respect and they just said they couldn't allow the Cheneys/Rummies/Trumps to get away unscathed. Emotions run high at events like this and sometimes words come first and thoughts come later. Just sayin. What's gonna happen is what's gonna happen and a combo of respect and boldness will further the cause imo.

Did it cross your mind that some of us talking paid good money for others to go to CPAC? Being "quiet" was Ron Paul's request. Remember Ron Paul? He's the guy that people were supposedly braving the TSA, blizzards, and DC traffic to go vote for. I didn't realize the added bonus was that you got to boo all the GOP folks you hated. I like how you throw in that this won't hurt anything in 2012.

You can be wild and crazy in support of people without booing your "enemies."

It's done, though; I'm sure lots of folks are super proud of themselves.

Yeah but he ultimately decided against it. What if Trump really DOES get elected President or another position of power and Rand Paul starts influencing him on certain issues. Isn't that worth more than taking a shot at him during stupid Cpac? Ron Paul already basically convinced him that the Fed was bad. May be he could've convinced him on a few other issues. But now Trump is angered at Paul's supporters and our movement.


I don't like Trump either. But you know the guy has never been elected to office, he didn't mention Ron in anyway as the heckling initially began. Yeah it was very unprofessional for him to ADDRESS the heckling and get the crowd riled up, but still we should've known better. It's too risky, now the media could use this moment to discredit Ron Paul.

I have a nagging feeling that I've expressed before that a number of Ron Paul supporters want to be fringe so they can complain how bad everything is and feel superior to everyone else who is a "dumb sheeple".

There's a difference between what you want to do and what is a good strategic move. Everything I have seen posted is the former.

That's the point I've been trying to make. Some are actually not comfortable winning. They don't want our ideas to be popular, because they won't have anything to complain about.

I'm sure there is some of that, and some people who are just naturally boisterous, like that friend you have cause he's a good guy but you just can't go in public cause they always make a scene... I have a feeling a lot of those guys are in out camps, and since we're all for non-agreesion, non of us have intevened and kicked them out.

Goes to show, we are truly accepting, except all the people complaining about the people complaining about how others arn't complaining

Because it's always been this way. Dick Cheney was called a war criminal.... and paul supporters were vocal....

by "it's always been this way" I mean....ITS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY...

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Trump is horrifying and a bully.

You hit that on the head. Trump is a bully. Hannity is a bully. So is Giuliani. Romney is a polite bully.

Unfortunately, it is obvious what these guys really mean when they denigrate Ron Paul.

"I like some of his ideas, but..."
