  1. Lew Rockwell has a lot of good things to say about Trump because he is a populist and anti-establishment. I wonder why Ron Paul is very against him.

    1. Re:limelemon,

      --I wonder why Ron Paul is very against him.--

      Probably for the same reason I am against him: because El Trumpo is a bigoted, self-aggrandizing, economically-illiterate Fascist buffoon.

  2. Lew has a lot of good things to say about Trump because all the usual suspects hate him. He does not support Trump for president. And I doubt Ron Paul supports any of the current candidates.

    1. Yes, and since Trump is an outsider and not bought and paid for, I would expect Ron Paul to give him credit for this and to use this as an opportunity to show that whoever is against Trump is part of the ruling class or deep state. (Also remember Trump wants to audit the Federal Reserve).

  3. Ron Paul is probably the only one on that list that opposes all the candidates because of principal, the rest I would think have other nefarious plans. I hope this is the only time Mr. Paul shows up on a list with these bozos.
