Donald Trump at CPAC: Ron Paul Has ‘Zero Chance’ of Winning Presidency

(By Meredith Jessup, The Blaze) - 'Will he or won’t he?'

Donald Trump kept political pundits guessing during an appearance at CPAC Thursday, offering no real hint as to whether he plans to make a run for presidency in 2012. “I will decide by June,” the wealthy businessman said.

Nevertheless, Trump’s rousing remarks before the CPAC crowd had all the trapping of a potential presidential contender. “The United States is becoming a laughing stock of the world,” Trump said. “I deal with people from China. I deal with people from Mexico. They cannot believe what they are getting away with.”

...

While he still has some important decisions to make about running, Trump didn’t hesitate to weigh in with his opinion on other potential GOP candidates.

“Ron Paul cannot get elected,” Trump said to mixed reactions. The CPAC crowd traditionally has a large contingent of vocal Paul supporters who loudly booed Trump’s assessment. “Considering the shape the United States, we need a competitive person, a highly competent person.”

“Honestly, he has just zero chance of getting elected.”
