Strong on Defense libertarian Trump disses the non-interventionist Ron Paul at C-PAC

From TheDailyCaller.com:

On Thursday at the CPAC conference in Washington, Trump addressed the audience about his own potential 2012 run and how there was a lack of good candidates, including Ron Paul.

“So I have a reputation for telling it like it is,” Trump said. “I’m known for my candor. I’ve had a lot of great victories and I may be willing to put that to work. I wish that – frankly, I wish that there was a candidate that I saw that would be fantastic because I love what I’m doing. In fact I have a great club that’s 15 minutes away. By the way, Ron Paul cannot get elected, sorry to say.”

He said he liked Paul, but didn’t see him as a viable candidate. Trump added that if he were elected, the country would be “respected” again.

3rd Man in Gary Johnson chimes in

Gary Johnson quoted by ABC News:

“Republicans have to grow the base. I just think that Republicans are the only party that saves us from where we're at, and to do that we have to grow the base. And Donald Trump ought to bring maybe part of that along.”
