You take a guy like Cruz, people are liking the Cruz they think hes for the free market, and [in reality] hes owned by Goldman Sachs. I mean, he and Hillary have more in common than we would have with either Cruz or Trump or any of them so I just dont think there is much picking, Paul said of the Texas senator on Fox Business Varney & Company on Friday.
Surprisingly, the elder Paul seemed more attracted to the views of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money in the Democratic primary.
On occasion, Bernie comes up with libertarian views when he talks about taking away the cronyism on Wall Street, so in essence hes right, and occasionally he voted against war, the former Texas congressman said when asked if there was a candidate who was truly for the free market.

For the record; the few Libertarian friends that I have are all in for Bernie.
The conservadems are going to seize on this as proof that Bernie is "tainted", just as the fact that Glenn Greenwald once wrote an article for the Cato Institute automatically invalidates everything he has said since.

believes we need to bring our jobs and factories back to America.
