Not having a horse in this race, my opinion matters little. But as a general rule, trust should never be an issue in politics. Ideally we should be able to trust all the candidates and the issues of an election should be about policy. When issues of trust come up then they should automatically be dismissed from the running.
I mean if this Ron Paul guys promises all the right things policy-wise but you can't trust him, why the hell would anyone even consider voting for him? But it's your democracy. You guys can debate this all you want.
