During a speech in which he laid out the things he would do as president, some in the audience repeatedly yelled Mr. Paul‘s name. “By the way,” he responded, “I like Ron Paul, I think he is a good guy, but honestly, he just has zero chance of getting elected.”
That remark drew catcalls from a sizable contingent of the Texas congressman’s supporters among the ballroom’s capacity crowd of 2,400 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Northwest Washington.
Mr. Trump attracted so many activists that hundreds more were directed to a spill-over ballroom with televisions for viewing the speech taking place in the main ballroom.
“And I can tell you this, if I run and if I win, this country will be respected again,” said Mr. Trump, a real-estate and hotel magnate with a personal fortune of more than $2 billion. The speech was his first appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference, now in its 38th year.
Mr. Trump said the world has lost respect for America and takes advantage on economic and trade fronts. Choosing words not normally uttered by politicians, he said he would restore that respect..
“If I decided to run, I will not be raising taxes, we’ll be taking back hundreds of billions of dollars from other countries that are screwing us, we’ll be creating vast numbers of productive jobs, and we’ll rebuild our country so that we can be proud,” Mr. Trump said.
“Our country will be great again,” he said.
The audence loved it.

Who would have ever thought! I have a new respect for the man. Trump for president??
Heck I would vote for anybody that would actually do what they say they are going to do...But come on has any politician every told the TRUTH not as I can see.. Like Obama his platform was Time for a Change but never said what he was going to change well now we see what his Idea of Change is more spending and more Government involvement just what we DON"T need..Trump has a Great Idea and It is about time somebody made these countries pay us back for the money they got from us..But would he keep to his words unlike most haven't...
A closet conservative...haaahaa. Ok..but first he MUST to something about the hair.
I have been watching this man for the last few years (evolving) and know this...he is not to be messed with. He has as balls of steel ( no side comb there I am sure). Yet, he is a libertarian or constitutionalists who stands under a Republican umbrella as he understands business sense and probabilities in lost numbers with independent tickets. He carries conservative ideas, no-nonsense economics and fears not much or many. I was so frickn elated when I heard of his "more serious" intent to actually run under the Republican ticket.I believe he, along with a strong cabinet and "congress" would run this country like a business and do well.If you don't get up or show up for work, you no get paycheck. If you have no job by non-election, but show determination and the willingness to work, you'll create opportunity, if you nurture opportunity with a head on approach...you create self-worth and therefore increase your probabilities...TRUMP believes in entrepreneurship, the idealism on which made this country what it is. YOU GO TRUMP, I have had my eye on you and will support u 100%!!!!!!!!!!!! Curious...do you think Trump honors Valentines Day mandates? No traps when it comes to feelings, but no one ever minds something from the heart, not of the heart, right Rich! I think you did good...maybe she says "no likes" for mandated holidays out of self-preservation or from being let down in prior relationships...I'm just saying...or maybe she honestly is stubborn and realistic that anything mandated is routine...women, God bless their complexities...God bless our trying to understand these blessed, rare and delicious creatures!
