Trump's comments on Rand Paul boycotting debate

[NOVALibertarian]

Thinking strategic voting, it might actually be worth having Hillary in office, so Rand can run against her in 2020.

Yes, because Hillary's mass-amnesty will make it so much easier for a conservative like Rand Paul to win in 2020.

Brown loves Rand Paul.

Oh really.
That's a very non-adult thing to say.
What other GOP candidates are Rand Paul posters here allowed to vote for
in the event he drops out of their state's primary in order for them not to
"rot in hell", per Klamath ?

Do you support the 2nd amendment Snowball? Because if you do you should know that Donald Trump is on record salivating for an assault weapons ban. He wrote about this in his book "The America We Deserve." It's on page 102. Yes Trump is good on foreign policy but so is Bernie Sanders. Sanders and Trump both suck on the 2nd amendment. But Trump is worse than Sanders because Trump is an economic fascist. I'm not talking about how he supposedly hates Mexicans. (That's a farce anyway. Trump is on record saying that he would be open to amnesty for the "good illegal immigrants.") Trump is a fascist because he believes the government should be able to force you to sell your property to private developers. So if you want to vote for a gun grabbing fascist, go right ahead. If it comes down to Hillary versus Trump.....oh Lord have mercy on us all. If it's Cruz versus Trump or Carson versus Trump (and Carson seems on his way out), I'd take Cruz or Carson. Everybody jumped on Carson for saying he didn't like assault weapons in cities, but Trump doesn't want there to be assault weapons in the hands of you peasants at all. If you are armed you might be able to resist when he comes to force you to sell your house.

At the very least Clinton would be the enemy we know. We know she is a surrogate so Bill can be president again. With Trump you get a psychopath who possibly ripped the hair out of his ex wife's head, wants to bang his daughter, and is one of the least charitable billionaires in the world. He brags about buying access and power from politicians, and has no moral opinion whether this is right or not.

He even donated to the charity that Rand was doing eye surgeries for, only so he can say in the debates that he has given Rand money. When we all know he never even gave Rand money. I don't think that he knows right and wrong, and he is intentionally trying to move the republican party towards the Koch part of the tea party and not the Ron Paul part.

Pffft...

I know what I'm doing:

The one good thing (and I mean the ONE) about a potential Trump nomination is that it'll dismantle the Grand Old Party, which in my opinion would be a tremendous service. The stranglehold the establishment from both parties has on this country is nothing short of a travesty, and at least Trump would strike a blow to a corrupt power structure.

That said, I'm still praying dearly that Trump doesn't win, giving his promises to transform this country into an Orwellian dystopia under the iron fist of The Donald.

I was reading a comment from a Ron Paul supporter commenting how bad Ron Paul got screwed over in the 2012 election, I was painfully reminded of Maine and all the other BS that went down. I think disillusionment has effected many Ron Paul supporters getting so badly robbed and screwed over.
Anyway this guy was saying how he supports Trump, and that baffled me.
Have that many Ron Paul supporters jumped ship, another said he supports Sanders this election cycle. I was here in 08 and 12 and this is completely different this round.
There is a small core that supports Rand, but most have jumped over to somebody else, some to Trump.
Anyways this guy said he will support Trump because he is anti-Establishment, and actually has a chance to win, 20% of Bluedog democrats support Trump and these are the people that swept Reagan into power.

I wanted Rand to win, I really did, bring some sanity back to America, but I am not so naive to think Trump might not pull this off, and insanity and dark times are sure to follow.
I just hope Rand can place in the top 4 in Iowa, and then the other idiots drop out and it becomes a 4 way race, it's the only path to any chance of victory.

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance." There are no discounts or alternative paths. Vote your conscience every election. The goal is liberty is not victory for one man or even an entire movement.

And the defeatists - like Snowball, they can all go fuck themselves. Not saying you're one of those but you seem to think there is this "only path". Someone will always be seeking to enslave others, that's why the fight never ends.

 

[Nathan Hale]

Even though Rand started this race as the frontrunner, I think at this point he needs to play it like dad. Stray strong until the convention, and if all else fails, put himself in a good position to be the party nominee in 2020.

That said, Trump is really a variable. I don't know if he's still claiming to run third party if he doesn't get the GOP nom, but he's going to bull-in-a-china-shop this election regardless, and I think that's good news for America because this system is fucked.

Just to further poke this fire, and this is just a big IF, but what IF both Rand and Ron both endorse Trump. What are the rest of you going to do? I know EVERYONE including myself sees Ron as a Deity, but, what if they both endorse Trump if he gets the nod?

LOL. "This is just a big IF, but what IF Donald Trump suddenly becomes a strict limited-government constitutionalist? Or what IF Hillary Clinton suddenly becomes an anti-war non-interventionist? Or what IF Bernie Sanders suddenly becomes a hard-core anarcho-capitalist?"

LOLOLOL ... every one of those "possibilities" is at least as likely as Ron Paul endorsing Donald Trump ... (or Hillary Clinton ... or Bernie Sanders ...)

Are you familiar with anything Ron Paul has said about Donald Trump (in any of his Liberty Report episodes or elsewhere)? He endorsed a third-party candidate in 2008. He didn't endorse anyone at all in 2012. Why on Earth should anyone seriously entertain the notion that he might endorse Donald Trump?

 

[ProBlue33]

Trump says exactly what he thinks and what he says is strategic as well. So I was thinking about this some more, Trump could have been nasty again to Rand but surprisingly he wasn't, even given that the opportunity was there.What I expected him to say was, " he is a loser and he can take his ball and tuck tail back to Kentucky" that would be in Trump form.
Instead he basically endorsed him as a valuable and respected member of the Senate for the state of Kentucky. Come November when some former Ron Paul supporter is standing at the poll both in a swing state/county when it's down to Sanders and Trump and a vote for Johnson does nothing...... I am already seeing people on other forums that supported Ron Paul voting for Trump for multiple reasons.

We might hate this, but I am telling everybody here, it is happening....and it is going to happen.

And I am going to publicly and privately refer to them as brainwashed authoritarians. It's happening... and it is going to happen.

 

[twomp]

I'm a "trumpster" because I told you not to lie about where Trump stands? lolol. He doesn't hate China. One more time for the dense. Trump has a number of horrible positions. Bash him on those. There is no reason to lower yourself to LIE about others.

You say that in one breath. Then you say this:

That's right. After all, the Clintons prefer to just shoot people or tie them to railroad tracks.

Typical LE hypocrisy....
