“We rate the ad’s statement Mostly True.”
That’s a new record for the Cruz campaign
"...Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are among those who have strongly endorsed the idea, but other Republican candidates also have signaled varying degrees of sympathy for conservative voters in Colorado and beyond who are frustrated by what many say are excessively restrictive federal policies on public lands in the West.
It is hardly a new cry - and experts widely dismiss the notion as economically and environmentally implausible - but it appears to be getting louder.
At least 10 states in recent years have approved legislation that tries to claim federal land or explore the possibility of doing so, helping prompt the Republican National Committee last year to draft a "resolution in support of Western states taking back public lands." Some Western Republicans, facing battles with the federal government over mining and water quality controls, have called for abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency."......
He knows Cruz is not eligible to be president, which is more than the “constitutional expert” knows.
How did the feds wind up with the land in the 1st place?
Better be careful what you say about trump. He might sue you. /s
Pushing click bait eh? Man there are a lot of ads on there. A links to more click bait.
So big government is OK, so long as the right people are running it?
Thanks for clearing that up!
Trump is being cautious. Ted is telling you what you want to hear.
“It does appear he is impressed with and, by implication, intends to freely wield governmental power.”
It took him 69 years to figure that out?
I wonder if the TPP, the one that Cruz wanted to fast track and let obama negotiate, will make any difference with Federal or State owned land. Nobody knows for sure, because it’s done in ‘secret’. We do know, however, much of our sovereignty may well be history, if obama gets his way - and obama’s way on TPP is a-ok with Ted.
I don’t think the 500% increase in H1B visas that Cruz thinks is important to ram down our throats will make a difference, will it?
You and the rest need to read post 10 and then realize this is a non-issue issue.
Of course! Ted Cruz “knows the Constitution”, and he’s a lawyer. So by sheer force of will, he will know of a way to give the land back to the states with one fell swoop of a pen via executive fiat, regardless of whether the state wants it or not, in some cases! Don’t you see how this makes Trump a big government liberal!?!?
LOL
Well, he could have called Cruz a lying sack of dung loser, who will not waterboard terrorists, but Trump took it easy on him.
Louisiana Purchase and Mexican-American War is how the Federal Government acquired the land. Land was then disseminated to the create territories and thus States.
He's a Harvard trained lawyer, he probably even lied about not liking green eggs.
“Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz promised Nevada voters he will transfer control of federally-held lands back to the states if he’s elected.”
Where does “constitutionalist” Ted find the authority for the president to give away federal land? Isn’t that up to Congress?
Trump is against Federal Ownership of property
Your post was bs based on bs like your multiple WSJ/NBC SC phoney baloney poll.
Here is the reality:
Donald Trump takes on federal land control

Forget China, guns or immigration. Donald Trump is taking on a new issue: federal land ownership.
In a new op-ed for the Reno Gazette-Journal, the Republican presidential front-runner rails against the draconian rule of the Bureau of Land Management and the Obama administration land grab in the western United States.
The BLM controls over 85 percent of the land in Nevada, Trump explains. In the rural areas, those who for decades have had access to public lands for ranching, mining, logging and energy development are forced to deal with arbitrary and capricious rules that are influenced by special interests that profit from the D.C. rule-making and who fill the campaign coffers of Washington politicians.

Was this the one where Trump says he knows nothing about it?
I tend to loathe the use of the word “fascist” to describe modern politicians, but I can say, without any exaggeration or hyperbole that Trump is as much of a fascist as modern America can generate.
Same blindly stupid followers.
Same empty promises.
Same anger.
Same stated intended abuse of governmental power.
