Establishment lining up behind me to stop ‘nasty wack job’ Ted Cruz - still loves eminent domain

Not sure how this is a selling point...

If you’re a conservative, and you dare to utter even the merest suggestion that Donald Trump is anything other than a staunch constitutionalist, watch out. You’re about to be hit with a blast from the Trump loyalists’ artillery battalion. They can fire the word RINO at you 500 times in just under a minute, so it’s a formidable force.

It’s much easier to just sit back and let The Donald say things like this:

Trump says the establishment likes him better than Cruz.

The “ establishment “ and the real power brokers know Cruz can’t win , but they are afraid that Trump will either choose him for VP and therefore possible POTUS someday , or worse yet for Supreme Court justice , so they are tearing him down bigtime now to permanently damage any future aspirations or appointments .

I don’t know that Cruz is “nasty wack job”, but I damn sure know several of his supporters here an FR are.

FR has devolved over this issue. I used to frequent a site called "Libertypost". Barely intelligible discussions took place because of all the "My guy is better" back and forth.

A lot of banned FReepers went there and we would have discussions but the others that weren't from FR and had never had posting etiquette enforced were childish to the point that it was embarrassing. Now, FR has come close to replicating that over the Trump/Cruz tit for tat. It's embarrassing reading some threads on FR. The DU'ers must be having one hell of a laugh at us.

As usual, the headline is wrong. Trump just spoke about eminent domain at his NH appearance. He said he didn't love it but without eminent domain, schools, hospitals and freeway (among others) would not be built.

He also made an interesting point that the Keystone Pipeline would require the use of eminent domain to complete it.

Yes, we are a force to be reckoned with, we are the American Voters that have been stepped on and called names, and we are going to support someone who thinks like we do, talks like we do and has America in our hearts, the same as Trump does...

We are a very y u g e group and we are no longer the ‘silent majority’ we are a loud, brash, strong willed, and mouthy, and we can deal with anyone who tries to tarnish our Leader Trump!!!

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Did he speak about trying to take little old ladies homes so he could build a parking lot for his casino?

Yep. Right after he ripped a kitties head off and spiked it on the podium.

He's already gained 2% in the polls after this stunt.

Keystone Pipeline will use it. Are Republicans for that? Did Cruz vote for it?

So he’s against it unless he’s for it?

But no mention of his attempt to use “condemnation” to get his government cronies to act as his own private army to seize property for his casino.

I heard Trump previously speak on eminent domain. “It’s usually a win win for everyone” “The property owner gets many times fair market value” I think most of us can agree if someone wanted to buy our property for 3 times or more fair market value, we wouldn’t think twice about it.

I'm more concerned about the guy who can't get his story right on immigration/amnesty and flip flops on birthright citizen ship.

I'm not worried about Trump kicking my mom out of her house but I am concerned about illegals destroying my country.

I’ll put it on record here Teddy Cruz voted a big “Yes” for the Keystone pipeline ergo he’s for eminent domain.

'It's usually a win win for everyone'

I'm glad he said usually, cause that's not always the case. I'm in real estate here in Idaho and know of a situation where the county used eminent domain to grab a sliver of land to widen an intersection that grew woefully bad.

The government entity was trying to offer less than fair market value and someone in the real estate community stepped in and made sure they received what they should have.

That is how I'm torn on eminent domain in some cases as I know how bad this intersection impacted quite a large area. The traffic back up was ridiculous.

Well he did say he could shot people on the street of NY and not lose support so I guess it stands to reason that he could rip kitties heads off and he’d gain in the polls.

Still doesn’t answer the question. Does he or does he not think its okay to take peoples property through ED to build parking lots for his casino?

I have a problem with it. The 4 vacancies on the SCOTUS are going to be picked by the next President. I guarantee Trump will pick 4 liberals.
