Dr. Paul, who ran for president three times, tells "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner he is concerned about Trump's "take charge and take over" ideas.
"What I fear is that he may be tapping in to something in a sentiment and the people may love this aggressive personality that's going to take charge," Paul says. "That worries me a little bit, but yes, he's tapping in to a lot of feelings. When he talks about borders, and different things like that and the terrible condition of the economy.
"He taps in to a lot of people, but the thing that concerns me is that it's sort of like take charge and take over and we've had too much government taking charge and taking over and it's the government that created it and we don't need somebody with an iron fist to come in and say, 'It'll be done my way and I can correct all these problems,' because the solution isn't to have somebody strong to tell us what to do, what we need is enough people to have confidence in themselves and let the people make their own decisions."

Yikes. The Donald as a Hitler for the USSA?
ReplyDeleteWhat is that adage about history as tragedy and farts?
Ron is right, Trump is by the far the scariest among the conservative statists. He would start World War 3 over his damm ego if he could get away with it
ReplyDeleteSorry Ron,
ReplyDeleteEven though you may be right, i cannot and will not take seriously any opinion on any Republican candidate as long as you endorse your son. Even though we may all see Trump as a dangerous man, it does not negate the fact of conflict of interest in your part when your own less-than-ideal son is in the race.
After some thought, I think RP and RW are 99.99999% correct.
ReplyDeleteA populist like Trump would use any failures in the economy to implement more government regulations, including draconian echoes of what is happening in China in the case of a serious fiscal shock.
I think the current events in China cast too long a shadow on near term events to even postulate on what the economy will look like 15 months from now.
My bet is on Jeb vs Hil, just for the bitter irony. Hope and change my @$$
