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.

Too late Ronnie. While the keyboard warriros were doing snippets at Ron Paul “owning” the neocons, Trump was running around, calling them jerks, boycotting their propagada arm & straight up messing with them.

Loyalty to the Status Quo. I guess this is his way of saying, don’t consider me for a position in your administration — like there was going to be one.

Excellent, I was afraid I’d find myself on the same side as RuPaul.

Hey, who wants to edit the Fed now?

the days of "realistic" solutions to the problems facing the nation are long gone. If there were realistic solutions, we wouldn't need a candidate like Donald Trump.

Watch out, Ron. Your eyebrows are on the move and running wild.

They might even vote for Trump.

Only a loser would spell “loser,” “looser.” Or something like that. My inner grammar nazi needed some fresh air.

He can get the FED audited, Ron. Take your kabuki, Best Controlled Opposition For a FED audit, and exit the stage now.
