Ron Paul on Trump’s Jump: ‘I Doubt He’ll Do It’

Ron Paul on Trumps Jump: I Doubt He’ll Do It

When Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was interviewed on Friday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” the Fox News host asked him about the possibility of a third-party run by newly-registered independent Donald Trump.

“To each his own, he may do it. I doubt he’ll do it—if he really wanted to be president, why did he walk away? Why did he become concerned he couldn’t do it as a Republican?” Paul asked.

“I have no idea what he is going to do,” Paul added. “I don’t think he will be calling me for advice. I don’t think he will ask for an appointment to come see me to get advice or an endorsement. I’m not expecting that.”

See Paul’s comments here (via Mediate):

“Why have you never kissed his ring like virtually all of the other candidates have?” Cavuto asked.

“I didn’t think it was necessary or appropriate,” Paul replied. “How could he endorse what I’m doing? My positions are pretty much opposite of what he talks about. He doesn’t believe in free market. He likes the Federal Reserve. He is not a free trader. He likes tariffs. So there is not a lot we have in common.”

“So we won’t be seeing you at the Trump Tower anytime soon, Ron Paul?” Cavuto asked.

“Oh, no! Not likely,” Paul responded. “If he wants to converse I’ll be glad to take his call.”

    If Santorum comes in second in Iowa, he wouldn’t be broke for very long. It isn’t over yet — Iowa can historically define an election. As they say there: “State of all the land; joy in every hand”

    TRUMP IS A SHAM……..
    .
    He is once again keeping his name in front of the people…I believe HE LIKES ATTENTION AND WILL NOT RUN FOR ANYTHING…….
    .
    HOWEVER, IF HE RUNS. . . He will do it as a Democratic spoiler……HE CAN CALL IT A 3rd PARTY RUN……BUT HE KNOWS…..what strong 3rd party candidate can do to an election.
    .
    GUESS WHAT MR. TRUMP? You will be a nobody if you run for elected office. All OFF YOUR MONEY….will not buy you what the liberals bought for a “Community Organizer.”

    You mean Trump has all but admitted that he’s a RINO? You don’t say!

    “Why did he become concerned he couldn’t do it as a Republican?” Paul asked

    Will Ron Paul ask himself the same question if perchance HE loses the GOP nomination? So far, he’s the hold-out in terms of committing to the party’s nominee no matter who that person is! He‘s the only one that hasn’t ruled out a run on a NON-Republican ticket!

    That said, I applaud Ron Paul that he stands firm against the RINO policies of Trump and his crony capitalists. God bless him for his consistency!

      Ron Paul won’t have a choice in going 3rd party, if in fact the establishment republican party decides to throw out our votes and ignore us.

      People need to realize that the emperor truly has no clothes. That which we have derided for decades about other nations, that they get to “vote”, but only for who is picked for them, is going to be revealed to be the truth here in this country.

      When that happens, there will be no choice. It will be a matter of principal, and many of us are ready and committed to that.

      We WILL be a free nation once more.

      Iowa can still define the race. If genuine conservatives want to, then they can support Rick Santorum at the caucus. I was for Rick Santorum 2 years ago, but hopped (and hoped) around to several other Republicans (you can guess who they were by the poll numbers) on the idea of “electability” Now, I am convinced that Paul and Trump will go 3rd party. If the Republicans have an honest conservative, then at least they will be going down in style. So . . . I’m back onboard for Santorum. Too bad for him that I don’t live in Iowa.

    On your mark, get set……..Trump is a clown, and so is Ron P. Trump would finish selling us out as fast as his machines could count the money. Ron P, well where to start…. First of all he is ancient, the presidency would kill him physically leaving behind whomever was his #2. Second of all his foreign policy would start the end of the world. One of the main reasons stability has reigned is due to the fact that WE as a nation are everywhere. Look what happened to IRAQ the minute Obango removed our troops. Our worldwide forces keep the world in check ppl. Final mention is that like it or not WE are a dependant culture. (trust me I hate it, and while you’re grumbling look around your own home to find product made here) almost everthing here comes from somewhere else. We can‘t come home and cover our eyes and pretend the world doesn’t exist. We sold our manufacturing sector long ago, and are no longer able to support a re-birth. It would take years and years and years to even start rebuilding. So go and vote for Paul a 40 year career politician. Cukoo and while your at it buy an Obango12′ sticker.

    Ever since the Democrats did their last Character Assassination on Herman Cain, I have felt that their next maneuver would be to divide the Republican vote. Hello The Donald. Ron Paul people. And am sure the last strategy for the Democrats ( besides their attempts now to loosen voting laws through their infamous Holder DOJ ) will be to renew their old Character Assassination – Dominant Media in full support – of the final Republican candidate. These Democrats have had a good Chicago/ Union Mob run . Am sure they will continue to use those tactics. What do you do in a democratic republic when a political minority bullies / cheats / doesn’t abide by the constitution ?

    Does Paul look worried about Trump? Nope, then neither should you. All this attacking Paul is the best thing at the best time for the Dr. The Polls are up, fund raising is up, the crowds are standing room only everywhere Paul goes. His ground support is top notch in all the early primary states. Unlike the other candidates, Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman, Perry, and now Newt couldn’t drum up even enough support to get on the VA ballot and all but Perry are broker than a 3 legged dog. Very much looks like the race is between Paul and Romney now.

      He answered those questions sufficiently to me, Pendragon. On the charge that he was negligent regarding the newsletters (no sane person actually believes he’s racist), he just said that he wasn’t perfect and he was busy when those letters went out. As for the pork, he said that the money was going to be taken out one way or another so he tried to get the taxes, he didn’t believe should have been taken in the first place, back to his constituents rather than having the money go to the POTUS to be divvied out. He then voted no. So he was clever enough to play the corrupt system, which he didn’t create for the benefit of his constituents. Are you really looking for answers or out to demonize him?

      New supporters, many of whom are first encountering libertarian ideas through the Ron Paul Revolution, deserve a far more frank explanation than the campaign has as yet provided of how their candidate’s name ended up atop so many ugly words in the “Ron Paul Newsletters”. Ron Paul may“ not” be a racist, but he became complicit in a strategy of pandering to racists, bigots and anti-semites taking “moral responsibility” for that means more than just uttering the phrase. It means openly grappling with his own past… acknowledging who said what, and why (Lew Rockwell and Murray Rothbard or Paul himself). Otherwise he risks damaging not only his own reputation, but that of the philosophy to which he has committed his life.

      Also research a magazine called “The Spotlight” (virulent anti-semites and Holocaust deniers) and see where Paul got big campaign $$ years ago from the membership (sought out and solicited) to further his Congressional campaigns. AND it was laughed about by he and his closest friends… like Rothbard and Rockwell.

They were behind using our military to do the “Arab Spring”..an ushering in of Sharia Law…Obama has apponited Sharia Law people..one to the Supreme Court..I believe she was on the Harvard Review and a Sharia activist….Now you hear nothing of resolving any of those issues from other candidates..The Constitution would take care of any issues that we are facing and have infiltrated our country.. I don’t like the direction we are going..and a true Constitutionalist is what we need to restore her to greatness once more..It’s our only shot…God willing..we will prevail

      @ASHESTOASHES So when the Hostages were taken in 1979to1981 in Iran at our Embassy that was Our Fault?? or lets go way back to Jefferson Administration when our Merchant Ships were attacked by Muslims off the Coast of North Africa and the Middle East.. That was our Fault??? Or how about the Ottoman Empire taking over and killing the Eastern European Christians as the made a Caliphate of Europe or attempted to… That was our Fault and Blow Back as well… We can go back to the 1500′s with that and the Moors in Spain. that killed the Jews and Christians there also Part of the Ottomans…Righttttt…. That is the blow back you are talking about..You have no Idea of History..Study up first before you blame…Our Merchant Ships in the Med and Gulf Of Saudi Arabia had no agenda they were passing through in agreed trade…When the Muslims attacked them they had no reason except ransom and Money to advance a Caliphate..I wonder how Paul would handle that…Maybe we should not have exported our goods and sold them overseas…All the Capitalist here in that time frame were evil after all as Paul Supporters are implying with you’re Isolationist Marxist North Korean type agenda

    Success might come if a fourth party existed; Libertarian is NOT the mental state of mind for success. Libertarian is stitched, both good and bad, to Republicans and Democrats. Perhaps an AMERICAN PARTY would succeed.

    Ridiculous and redundant? Perhaps, yet thought provoking.

      So returning to the CONSTITUTION is not the key to success? You really need to stop smoking that government crack pipe.

      And i still have an offer of 10K for anyone that comes up with video evidence of Ron Paul saying anything racist….any takers? No? Why? Because there is NO evidence!

      “And i still have an offer of 10K for anyone that comes up with video evidence of Ron Paul saying anything racist….any takers? No? Why? Because there is NO evidence!” There was no evidence on Cain but did that stop the Paulbots? I guess asking for evidence is a one-way street.

      Many have…He openly states in 2001 maybe it was not a good Idea to have said that in interviews…Do you need him to scream expletives? Even then being as brainwashed as it seems even if he Used the N word you would be saying it was taken out of context… Look at the pattern of him and who he hangs out with… Birds of a Feather dont cha know.. When Ron Paul says we deserved to be killed on 9-11 what does that mean?? instead of being taken back he blames Israel and the USA for it… Then fudges numbers on how many civilians were killed all the while Iran has Bases Being built in Cuba, Venezuela, South America, Central America, and Mexico now with Missile Bases no less and he thinks if we just play nice and leave them alone they will not kill us like they said they would and have promised they would to make a Caliphate..

YOU on the other hand have yet to prove otherwise his associations with all the Racist groups yet none with any other Candidate can be identified…No racist letters from Rick Santorium Or Michelle Bachmann for that matter yet Ron Paul can magically look into Her mind and heart and say she hates Muslims but not offer proof of her words..How does Ron Paul get a Pass on saying something like that???

    Donald will run independent and Obama will leave him alone knowing he will pull votes from the GOP.
    Meanwhile Cranking up the smear machine for whoever wins the GOP. If it happens to be Ron Paul ? Some of his Followers seem to forget what happened to Sarah Palin and Herman Cain .
    I wonder how Ron Paul will look in a cheerleader outfit ?
    Nah.. They won’t go that far…Maybe a clip of Ron Paul , produced by Spielberg. Staring Tom Hanks wearing a Benjamin Button’s costume ,crossing the Delaware with a boatload of Ganja smoking
    Supporters singing “don’t bogarting that joint my friend”..!

      And wearing a tin foil hat. I, sadly, agree that whomever the GOP choose, the Left will run their usual Character Assassination Campaign. The Democrats are the vilest, dirtiest, most sinister group of politicos I have ever lived through. They have the morals of a Nile crocodile ( sorry for the insult, successful reptile ) and the media control of Joseph Goebbels. From their past treatment of every potential Republican candidate, their DOJ manipulations, and their International Lefty ties, I think we are in for an election campaign like no other where the Chicago Mob combines with the Nazi Propaganda Machine.

    Ron Paul is such a kind, gentle, and thoughtful man. He does not get easily flustered, he doesn’t get all emotional or inflamed at the drop of a hat. He’s thought his positions through and vetted them against the constitution consistently. This is just what America needs now in this time of sorrow and hardship. He could get us through this fire and add another 250 years to our position in the world. The rest of them are more than happy to watch us slump down into the class of third world nations.

    He is the only one that would allow Israel to bomb the crap out of Iran and not intervene. All of the others would be out there siding WITH the UN condemning Israel. People think he would not support Israel, but he actually does so more and deeper than any other candidate. The others secretly wish Israel would just disappear, and their interference just causes unneeded problems for the USA.

    No one likes a liar. Trump just shot himself in the foot, politically speaking. All he could do with an independent run is re-elect Obama.

      Obama “should” be re-elected if not re-electing him means electing a RINO.

      Do you people really see things changing with Romney or Gingrich in charge? Romney can‘t even call Obama a light version of what he is for God’s sakes. And, Newt is Newt.

      We’re toast no matter how you look at it.

      It is pretty pathetic isn’t it? Especially for a guy who has every worldly thing you can imagine. I think that’s why Jesus said it was so hard for a rich man to get into heaven, not that wealth is a sin but that wealth warps the mind of a lot of people who gain it.

      GONZO: I seriously wonder about The Donald’s upbringing. So many rich people have time for everything except nurturing their children. He may have been one of those children. He sure seems to need an inordinate amount of attention. Apparently his wealth hasn’t filled that void ! ( actually think most of our politicians also fall into the “ need an inordinate amount of attention” category ! )

Every Monday morning he is on F&F and bashes all the Republicans, and if he see’s in his opinon no one excelling he would jump in. Bull Crap, it’s already pilled as high as he is tall. He says he does lots of bussiness with China, he’s right. I read all the buildings he builds he uses China’s drywall. I nearly fell over, well not really save that penny and the Hell with America. he’s all talk, and will never run, you’re right.
