Donald Trump is taking aim at Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz, a tactical shift that could be risky on two fronts: It may have come too late, and the Texas senator might actually be benefiting from the attacks......
For Mr. Cruz, being under attack by other Republicans is a badge of honor, another backer said. "It's a quasi-endorsement of Cruz to the grass roots," said Saul Anuzis, former Michigan GOP chairman.
Polls show a growing number of Trump backers see Mr. Cruz as their second choice. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said that when the campaign began, polls showed that only 4% of Trump backers saw his boss as their second choice. A new poll by NBC/SurveyMonkey finds that number has risen to 39%.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 66% of Trump voters said they would consider supporting Mr. Cruz -- far more than other major candidates....

Lol it just needs a he dozers little old ladies homes to be complete!
Out of curiosity, who has the power to declare whether Cruz is eligible to run, or not? Is it Congress, the Supreme Court...or who?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The law is fairly settled on the issue. Cruz has no legal problem, he has a politial problem because the dem legal machine can hobble his candidacy if Cruz wins the nomination.That Dem legal machine is the same one that ended the career of Republican Congressional whip Tom DeLay ( the Hammer) in Texas.
This is serious, the Dems know Hitlery will lose, and the Dems want Rubio to be the only man left standing.
Trump will also be attacked by the Dem legal machine for something like the civil rights abuse of racial minorities under the voting rights act or some such.
Its a measure of Trumps intel that Trump already knows the Dem legal attack is coming.It will seek to hobble Cruz if he wins the nomination. Trump is right. Cruz needs to take care of it now by having a pronouncement made by the
federal election commission, just like Obama did back in 2006.Trump is not a bad guy, he is actually trying to help Cruz while being his opponent.There is a bit of chivalry there.Trump has Cruz beat, perhaps not in Iowa, but he has Cruz beat like a drum every where else. IMHO Trump wants Cruz as his VP or his AG.
If the taking of the property is for private use, it’s not eminent domain under the definition of the term.
Keystone may be private but would come under “public use”, wouldn’t it?
You’re still doing this. NO NO NO one can use eminent domain for private use - only government officials can do that. A private interest could nudge a public entity asking them to do a taking but it’s only the elected officials that can actually take then distribute.
So are you to blame when you go to your City Council and say hey I’l build the Taj Mahal on that choice piece of land Jim owns over there and then they condemn it and friggin give it to you? I say not. I say the scoundrels on the City Council are the culprits and thats where the fault lies.
Lastly, that little house you guys love to bring up is still there.
Wow! So Cruz is a liberal now!
Better get that CDS checked.

Public benefit. The oil and the pipeline are all owned by Keystone. It's not like it's transferring publicly owned water to homes.
I just gave you some facts as to why I don’t trust him. Again, who says that our “immigration system is broken”, other than liberal democrats?
Projection and delusion it’s worse than I thought!
What is your solution, government owned utilities/resources?
Venezuelan dictators found out that’s a job/economy killer. So China and Russia are trying to prop them up.
No, I’d say you nailed him on that. Sheesh!
Ted Cruz is liberal! For Pete’s sake! From the sound of it, some will conclude that you’ve been getting too emotionally involved in this Trump v. Cruz battle and now you’ve gone and chucked all your credibility out the window.
Let's examine how stupid this post is. So: "Trump is evil because he supports eminent domain for private use!"
My retort: "Eminent domain has been used for private use for more than a hundred years, and a modern example of this is the Keystone Pipeline you all support."
To which you essentially reply, bleeding out of your ears, your eyes, or where ever: "Rah! Venezuelan dictators! Rah! You want to nationalize everything!" and then the froth accumulates to such a degree that the rest of your cries were inaudible.
Yup! That’s what I said.
I see you don’t deny it.
Stop! You are making me a misogynist. Soon I'll be calling for an end to women's suffrage if I keep reading these "brilliant," "logical deductions" you make.
CW is frothing and festering with TDS!
Do your worst.
There’s a lot of this TDS / CDS going around. Getting kind of hard to take people seriously around here.
Must be Powerball hangover (only, it started well before the jackpot grew to be so big)
Every time I see the Trump B757 I am reminded that Trump bought the Eastern Airlines Shuttle, renamed it the Trump Shuttle, said he was going to make it a ‘diamond’ - and then promptly ran it into the dirt.
Cheap suit, sleazy New York blowhard.
