love ron paul, but trump brought up the question that needs to be asked, can he win, otherwise, its commie land. also, trump will scare the hell out of the chi coms and opec. he should have ron paul handle our eroded rights, the constitutional freedoms that we need to restore. ron paul also should be the one to clamp down on the FED. those are rons strong points that we all support, trump is the one who can rebuild this nation and make us competitive.

Paul and Trump have their strong points foremost among them is they don’t hate America like someone we are all too familiar with. I’m waiting for Allen West to knock their socks off.

“Ron Paul can’t get elected.” Neither can you, Captain Combover.
He condemns China’s shady practices, but none of America’s Corporatism.
He calls for protectionist tariffs, but no reduction in stifling American legislation.
“Ra Ra, good Admiral/Naval action.” No Trump, let cargo ships arm themselves.
The President does not create jobs, and the government doesn’t build the country.We don’t need a leader, Mr. Trump, we need ivory tower bureaucrats to let us lead ourselves.

The Obama administration and his goons are the most business-illiterate and business-inexperienced in the history of this nation. They don’t know dick about running business or facilitating the creation of non-union, non-government jobs. Community organizing is assembly for the sake of destruction and redistribution.

Agreed. That doesn’t mean that electing a outright corporatist is the answer, though.

His dumb comment about using tariffs to alter the market are just as dangerous as any of the Obama regime’s economic regulations. We don’t need another busybody in the White House.

Are you calling the Founding Fathers, and every American politician till 1912, dangerous for using the Tariff? Why have the anti-American, globalist, Ayn Rand cultist, Liberal’tarian, neo-Confederates hijacked my Republican Party.
Get out of ‘my’ party. Go create your own Party, rejoin the DixieCrat party or the Liberal’tarian Party, just get out of my party.

If he isn’t saying that, he should be. The founding fathers aren’t any more immune to criticism for short-sighted, ineffective, counterproductive, or just plain destructive policies than anyone else. They aren’t held sacrosanct just because they are the founding fathers.
John Adams, for instance, threw a man in prison for referring to him as “his rotundity.” Should we not be allowed to criticize the alien & sedition acts for the tyrannical usurpations they were? Does their having been enacted by a founder mean that people today can do likewise without fear of condemnation?
Maybe that’s why so many conservatives like the Patriot Act. Thankfully, some tea party congresscritters have held up the Patriot Act extensions.

I WISH “neo-Confederates” have taken contril of the GOP. I think it’s safe to say that they would actually respect the 10th Amendment, return power back to the States, & not be ashamed to have a touch of Southern Pride.

It would better to negotiate trade balance levels than to tax any particular country’s products. It’s time to return to leveraging our buying power instead of having it held hostage against us.
- Anonymous
There are numerous historical examples of it, google the Smoot Hawley Tariff. It sparked a wave of protectionism that spread throughout the world. Not only did Americans stop getting the most valuable product the world could provide, other countries also set up barriers against our trade.
We limit their imports, they’ll limit our exports. We’ll both lose. We also depend on China for a lot of labor that keep many of the products we use every day affordable. We take the price of all our electronics for granted. Even if cutting off China imports created jobs, most people couldn’t afford the luxuries we’ve come to expect in modern life.
There’s just a number of consequences to restricting trade. I don’t want to discover more. Trump has to know this, it sounds like he’s just being a populist. Or maybe in Trump’s real estate business it’s not really a factor and his knowledge has no real application to markets as a whole, you can’t exactly ship land to other countries. I really don’t know his reasoning on this.

The Trumpet strumpet must think that it would spur more purchases of American goods if they were priced closer to parity with Chinese goods. Putting high tariffs on them might cause WalMart and Home Depot to buy more American.
When I put that term ‘goods’ behind the word Chinese, I use it very looooooosely.
- DisturbingBehavior
Tariffs have always been an iffy issue with me. On some levels, I see benefits similar to what you point out Rshill. But there are some products we don’t produce here in America anymore because of foreign competition. Where in the 80′s and before, we had a high trade with Japan, they also ended up shipping a lot of jobs over to China for cheaper production. So now Japan and the USA are in the same rut in many ways (though, if you look at Japan’s Debt to GDP ratio, they are in much worse shape, and a lot of it is due to stimulus programs similar to Obama’s in the 90′s and over-subsidized industries).
However, I can imagine some companies will ship goods from china to another foreign port, one which we don’t have a tariff on, and then ship them here. You would end up adding more middle men for a still-increased cost good/product.And the area that I think that others might go with a free trade argument is that producing the goods in china, in the long-run, will increase the wealth of China (as expected), but given time, even China will not be able to beat the marginal cost benefit of producing the good in their country and shipping it here. In such an instance, the goods would tend to be made back here in the USA or in another foreign country that will offset the shipping costs. Think of it like Toyota building car factories here because shipping them from Japan is a MUCH more expensive endeavor.
If China stays on the same course they’ve been on, they will find themselves in the same spot as Japan in time, which I can only guess might be about 30 years from now. A tariff will only slow this process down. And eventually, I think we may end up opening more factories in other foreign countries like India to offset the cost. Though, I think India, with a bit more open-market reforms (Stossel covered how hard it is to open a business there years ago) will likely grow extremely fast with the educated workforce they have there and their expats coming back home to create hose opportunities. - Anonymous

Guess CPAC couldn’t afford a teleprompter? Surprised he didn’t do better in the presentation part, he is so good w/interviews, looked funny to see Trump reading off index cards like a high schooler. All seemed last minute thrown together, but I like his hard line attitude. Busting some chops about no one in school knowing the messiah. Supports the 2nd. What is he going to do w/islam? Liked what he said about the pirates. The reason other countries don’t respect us is our own darn fault.
I used to be a hippie dippie granola head type and I have changed. Strictly independent that leaned left and the war changed all of it. Perhaps Donald has been changed by what he has seen Obama do. Seeing the video of the term baby aborted left on a stainless steel table to die leaves an imprint. Hilliary’s healthcare had to have been a better plan back in the day compared to the nightmare of Obamacare. Maybe Donald has seen the light.

He is right, Ron Paul can’t win. Not because of his ideas, because he looks “goofy”. If you took Steve Forbes money and political beliefs and he looked and talked like Tom Selleck you would have a winner. I know it sounds shallow, remember, you have about 40% who are conservative/libertarian and about 33% liberal. exclude 2 to 3% really crazy (commies, neo nazis, eco-terrorists) and the rest are ‘I Likes’ I like the smile, I like the wife/husband, I like what they say (not believe) they are the people who start really paying attention the last 4 weeks of a campaign, unless they have seen something memorable on SNL, Comedy Central, MSM News or their best freind told them something. Unfortunately this is where the real battle is.
Ron Paul is the high school kid from AV club or the history teacher who was in charge of chess club.
His son? He was probably the football team captain. He might just work out, unfortunately nobody could get elected President after only serving 2 years in the Senate, or at least they shouldn’t. - ynot

Name a bunch of “to be” losers who have less chance of winning the presidency than my pet hamster, “little obozo”. Each of these clowns is unlikely to get more votes for president than the candidate from the “Rent is too **** high” party. Of course, that doesn’t mean one of them won’t be nominated by the “Republicans” – if they can nominate a RINO TRAITOR like NO-CHARACTER AMNESTY-JOHN mccain there is clearly NOTHING or NOBODY that they wouldn’t nominate – so my “little obozo” has a chance !

What Trump said about Rep. Paul was PATHETIC.

First off the Right Scoop does not know what it is talking about. Probably a left wing group ( head up ass ). Donald Trump could win in this country if the American people would open eyes instead of watch “Dancing with the Stars”. Gingrich, Palin, Romney, Pawenty Huckabee, Bolton all lossers. Why, did I not include Ron Paul because, he is a winner. This country is a business. It is spelled ” THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INC.” This country does not need another hack lawyer. It needs a business man that will do the peoples business. Trump, is not “CFR”, not “Skull and Bones”, not “Trilateral commission” (if you do not know who these groups are look htem up on google). He is not a government insider either. He is all about $$$$ ( nothing personal only business). Our country needs Jobs and $$$$.
Right!! You bet right! - Marlene
Yes, a great speech indeed. Unfortunately Donald will not appeal to the masses due to their distrust of the wealthy. We can only hope and pray that another leader with his perspective and business acumen will come forth. I, too, want everyone to look upon my country with respect!
I have to admit it was one of the most entertaining speeches I’ve heard all day. The Donald brought the house down today at CPAC, especially when he told the crowd that ‘Ron Paul can’t get elected’. He really knows how to get applause. But more seriously, he says that he is considering running for the Presidency and will announce his decision in June. If he does run he’ll have a lot of questions to answer. As I said yesterday I still don’t trust him because he has vocally supported the universal health care (including Hillary’s brand of it in 2008) and he’s stated that he’s pro-choice in the past.
That being said it’s a great speech. Enjoy!
