"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.
"If you trust me with your vote," Cruz says in a new ad revealed Thursday. "I will fight day and night to return full control of Nevada's lands to its rightful owners, its citizens." Cruz criticizes fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump for his reluctance to champion state control of federal land.
The ad begins by lamenting the fact that the federal government currently controls 85 percent of the land in Nevada, including the Lake Mead National Recreation Area on the Colorado River, Great Basin National Park, the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and Basin and Range National Monument."....
Convincing, eh?
Good
Have you ever picked a winner that went on to become President?
Trump’s campaign offered a slightly more detailed explanation of his proposed policy in an answer to a candidate questionnaire, but said the bigger issue was land management and not transfer of ownership.”
Now if Sen Cruz had walked that back, like Orange Gumby does on most statements when you insist on facts and not his rambling platitudes, Donald would be screaming ‘liar,liar” at the top of his lungs.
“It’s worth noting that Nevada’s state constitution expressly gives up the state’s rights to all “unappropriated public lands” to the federal government,”
So take care of that first, then.
Or else the issue is Cruz blowing smoke.
Well, Nevada caucuses today, so we’ll see if the voters can trusTED on this one!

The Donald is about big government doing everything. This is no secret.
“We rate the ad’s statement Mostly True.”
That’s a new record for the Cruz campaign
How did the feds wind up with the land in the 1st place?
So big government is OK, so long as the right people are running it?
Trump is being cautious. Ted is telling you what you want to hear.
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?
“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:

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’m trying to not say anything negative
about Cruz. Really. But it gets difficult.
