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

Perhaps, given recent publicity in the campaign, someone might want to re-consider the optics of having someone from the, ahem, Canada Free Press writing an article in support of Cruz...

Just saying' .

I sure hope you are your own leader, and who you pick for president merely is in charge of the execute branch of the federal government.

[GrouchoTex]

Execute= executive

There isn't one thing Trump has been consistently conservative on. If there was, he would be a serious candidate. Instead he comes off as a carnival side show.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well in truth Trump tried to get the local govt to force a lady to sell her POS vacay home worth maybe $500,000 for $1.2 million. So not quite as draconian as advertised in Teddy’s negative ad which portrays a bulldozer tearing it down. :-)

[The Iceman Cometh]

Does he or does he not think its okay to take peoples property through ED to build parking lots for his casino?

I can relay what he said today which is would support ED (Erectile Dysfuntion? lol ;-)) for the same reasons we are used to: roads, hospitals, schools etc.

He did not mention for personal or business gain.

If you want a little Trump controversy from today's appearance, the way he talked about greed I'm sure would raise some eyebrows.

consistently conservative

You do realize Cruz is not Snow White here, right? I'm sure you've seen the same Cruz attacks over and over so I will not repeat them.

I also know of a case where a bar owner made a fortune selling his property to the city of West Allis Wisconsin. On top of that, the alcoholics, I mean tenants, who rented rooms above the bar were paid a handsome sum for moving expenses.

I’m sure there are cases where it isn’t fair. Or if a property has strong emotional ties (family farm) and owner doesn’t want to sell.

You really don’t know the difference in using ED for what is considered the good of the general public and using ED for the benefit of a single private individual do you?

Pipelines are a necessary part of national security. A modern military needs fuel to run.

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

As are a number of Trump supporters.

Panicking BS'er.

"It's usually a win win for everyone" "The property owner gets many times fair market value"

I stopped reading at the word 'fair'. I'm sick of Democrats dictating to me what is 'fair'.

[Hoodat]

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

There is nothing at all that would indicate otherwise. He has already surrendered on gay marriage, private property transfers (at the point of a gun), and abortion.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes looks that way.

[Baynative]

Compare candidates here

[RasterMaster]

When I say consistently conservative, I mean he says things one day, then counters the next.

He's not even consistent in his inconsistencies.

[Washi]

Stay classy Donald.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

What you and many Trump critics fail to understand is that the quotes you use to discredit him only strengthen his support. The most amazing aspect of this campaign cycle is how completely tone-deaf Trump's opponents have been. Given the right context, most Americans could agree with all of those statements.

You may not care, but the image you posted says right on it that it is from DemocratUnderground. I don't have a dog in this fight, but posting that here or anywhere else only undermines your position and your candidate.

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

Same could possibly said about the Trump supporters!

[RasterMaster]

Trumps own words give strength to the other side.

It always been my opinion that he entered the race to take out Jeb for Hitlery but found enough cross-over LIEberal voters who love NY values doublespeak.
