Wow Ron Paul Drops A TRUTHBOMB About Donald Trump And Hillary!!
It looks like famed libertarian hero and perennial presidential candidate Ron Paul is no big fan of Donald Trump.
That’s why he said this on CNN about him:
Wow.
Ron Paul had the same anti-establishment sentiment that Trump seems to be capitalizing on, but his libertarian ideology must recoil at the big government solutions the Donald puts forth.
Trump wants to expand Medicare, and he doesn’t detail at all how he would bring down the debt, or decrease the size of government. And he’s given out many signs that he would vastly increase the power of the executive at the expense of the Constitutional checks and balances ideal.
And it really seems like Trump’s rabid following bears many similarities to those that followed Ron Paul – will they listen to the libertarian superstar of yesteryear?
What do you think? Is Ron Paul right to say that Trump isn’t ideologically any different from Hillary Clinton? Let us know in the comments section below!!
The popularity of Trump has nothing to do with libertarianism. It's instead due to anti-establishment politics, and that's what separates Trump from all the others. Trump represents an end to cronyism at the highest level. Any hope of Trump instituting libertarian policies would lie in obliterating special interests groups and exposing a lot of skeletons that have been accumulating, and thereby making sure everyone the same from garbage man to CEO exec.
That is a long shot, but it seems people are more interested in ending political corruption than they are about civil liberties. At least right now.
And of course, no one likely to win the election is offering a restoration of civil liberties, so and end to corruption is the next best thing anyway.
Of course Ron Paul would not endorse Trump, nor should he. Ron Paul represents ideals that Trump is not espousing.
