Ron Paul: Trump is ‘authoritarian,’ won’t vote for him

Supporting Donald Trump or Ted Cruz would be unthinkable to Ron Paul, who rejected the candidate roll of the Republican Party on Tuesday.

Paul will vote in the election, he told CNN, but it will not be for Trump.

“I see him as a very, very strong authoritarian,” Paul said. “I think he’s misdirecting the people where we should be looking for the answers.”

Nor would Ted Cruz be a viable alternative, had Cruz not suspended his campaign after the Indiana primary.

“He’s way too authoritarian … I see him more as a theocrat,” Paul said. “He’s too willing to use bombs, just as Trump.”
