OPEN LETTER TO RON PAUL

Mr. Ron Paul:

You say that a Trump victory would be horrible for the Republican Party and you cite the following. Knowing that this appeared on CNBC, I am assuming you were quoted correctly.

"It would be very bad if he was to get the nomination," Paul said in a Thursday interview with CNBC's "Futures Now." "The party would be severed in two pieces."

Further, said the libertarian former congressman from Texas said, "he wouldn't win, and it would be devastating to the markets, because then you'd have Hillary [Clinton]," whose tax policies would hurt the economy.

First off, let me say I appreciate many of your views and applaud your long defense of liberty and the libertarian philosophy. Having noted that, however, I am somewhat surprised at your failure to see the Republican Party is already --and has long been--"severed" into several pieces not just two. In fact, one could argue that if this so-called political party that claims it offers a difference actually did so, a candidate like Trump would never enjoy the current traction he's obviously getting, a traction it is  just as obvious that is quite painful to many.

I say this never having been a member of either party. In fact, it's my fervent wish when I finally exit this dimension to enjoy the pride that comes with never having been a member. In our semi-free society we all still get some choice in how we choose to go bankrupt. Joining either these two shams isn't in our bankruptcy lexicon.

Now you and I know MSM is trying its best--par for their course--to write this off as a fringe thing. It isn't. Trump, like it or not, is rattling many establishment cages, one of which is big time MSM. We could name you numerous others, but we will spare you the boredom.. And you don't seriously think anyone other than a Clinton is going to be the next president. If you do I will respectfully lower my respect a notch for you and your political savvy.

Now if you're talking about the Democrat-Republican effect on the stock market, we all know those numbers. Trump is a breath of fresh air; he is the healthiest thing on the political horizon in years. He's saying things millions of Americans across all lines would like to voice publicly, but nearly all of them savvy quite well the definition of two words--ostracism and punishment.

This is a repressive administration in a growing repressive society, something one would think given your political history you would see the value of a character like Trump. So as we like to say around here: That's our opinion. We hope you still know yours.
