Three-time candidate for president Ron Paul said Wednesday he does not like any of the remaining GOP candidates in the 2016 race, and would not support Donald Trump if he were to win the Republican nomination.
Trump has been able to tap into the anger and fear of a large "minority" of voters, Paul told CNBC's "Squawk Box." He said the billionaire businessman acts like he has all the answers but "zero" realistic solutions to the problems facing the nation.
"I hear the ability of politicians to capitalize on the worries," the libertarian Republican continued. "They're able to use the blame game." Paul served 12 terms as a U.S. congressman from Texas.
Trump was the projected winner of Tuesday's Nevada caucuses by a wide-margin, his third-straight victory with the Super Tuesday contests less than a week away. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was seen edging out Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas for second place in Nevada.
Paul admitted that Trump has the momentum in the early contests, but said there's a long road of primaries and caucuses before the GOP's nominating convention in July....

“Your right!”
Sorry... Couldn’t help it...
“5 more points for Trump!”
..now, if we could only get his kid to weight in..
Well, there’s one thing I agree with him on.
Didn’t ALL the candidates have to sign the “pledge”? Or was it only the one who could actually mount a successful third party campaign?
Weight is a body’s relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
Weigh is to find out how heavy (someone or something) is, typically using scales.
Did you mean “weigh” or “wade?”

An aging, bitter, burnt out, Jew-hating, worthless POS.
Beam yourself back to Jupiter, then.
Ahhhh! My hair is on fire. Don’t end a sentence with a preposition.
Ron Paul didn’t run this time, his son did.
Gues what Ron, I wouldn’t support you either.
Probably Gary Johnson
Bad brows running wild. Sung to the tune of bad boys running wild by the scorpions.
Cindy Sheehan once called Ron Paul her favorite congressman.
Stepping...away...from...Free...Republic...
Yep...and, RuPaul doesn’t support Israel, either. So take this loon’s comments for what they’re worth. NOT A D@#N THING.
Did he even support Romney? It’s one thing to say you won’t support your party’s nominee, but it’s quite another to actually follow through on it. I dare say that even a lot of Freepers would grudgingly vote for someone like Rubio out of sheer disgust over Hillary.
Many in his daddy’s Libertarian base sure are.
That’s cool. I wouldn’t have supported him either.
And he was one of those who raised his hand at the first debate saying he would support the nominee.
Expect similar reaction from Bush and Kasich when Trump becomes the nominee.
