I am guessing he was named after Ayn Rand (Paul Ryan's hero).
Paul and Rand, two last names that are like daylight to a statist vampire.

No, he did not. He voted for RON Paul. Get your facts straight.

In Texas, two Republican electors cast protest votes, one each for Ron Paul and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. One other Republican opposed to Mr. Trump resigned and was replaced.
There. Nice liberal rag that you won't contest.

What that guy started, got us Donald Trump and the anti-establishment sentiment, throughout the nation.
Thank God for Donald Trump and not Ron Paul.

And Trump won, spending only a fraction of what Hillary spent.

Totally agree.

It would be great if Trump appointed Paul to the Federal Reserve.

On the other hand, he might actually get a fight from the Senate on that confirmation.

Paul would be assassinated if he ever tried to dissolve the Fed.

He even as a Fed board member, can't dissolve the Fed. Only the full Congress can do that.

But if it happened, it would certainly be interesting to see who actually "owned" the liability for all those FRNs out there. (Don't know what a FRN is? Look in your purse or wallet. LOL )
