Is the Republican Party looking a gift horse in the mouth?
Island Turtle ^ | September 15, 2015 | Corky Boyd

The Republican Party is facing a crisis. It has a candidate who is likely to win the nomination and could very well win the Presidential election. Yet they are doing their very best to see a repeat of the past two presidential cycles – nominating uninspiring candidates who have no chance of winning. The RNC would rather have a Democratic president, rather than support a reformer who would change the corrupt political structure of Washington. And they ignore the will of the people who are desperate to see that change happen....

Donald Trump has caught the imagination of not only conservative Republicans, but the country as a whole. When was the last time 25% of African Americans favored a Republican candidate? The RNC has never had an action plan to do that. Yet it is happening. The RNC is staring victory in the face but aiming for defeat. Its godchild Jeb Bush is facing a 7% polling number, a quarter of Trump's. He has tons of campaign money but it’s not working. He has loser painted all over his face

They could be looking at the Dem’s Ass’s butt, and they would think it was a horses mouth.

Corky has hit this one out of the park.

I worry about tomorrow. There is no defense for the Vera Coking eminent domain mess and CNN already leaked they’re going to ask him about it. It’s David vs. Goliath, the big bad billionaire picking on a retired, little old lady. It was and is bad.

What can he say?

They are doing their best to undermine a candidate who could potentially win NY, NJ and the whole Northeast with a truckload of electoral votes. When was the last time that happened for the GOP? 1984? Unbelievable!!!

The problem is obvious if only the STUPID RHINO party could get its proverbial “head out of its rectum.” Establishment blowhards named Mitch “Turtle Face” Mcdumbo and John “Orange Man” bonehead “I’ll have another drink” Boehner are the problem. Apart from that and the stupid head of the RNC— Reince Priebus or whatever his name is, a silly inarticulate stooge who cannot decide on a definitive add strategy—or any strategy at all, but apart from that, no, we have no problem.

They have only themselves to blame. Had the historic repubpican majorities of 2014 done a single constructive thing other than capitulate to O’Bugger, and renominate Boner and Mccraple, as their very first acts of treason, there would be no Trump

Who Cares? CLOSE THE DAMNED BORDERS. The sheeple don’t care about eminent domain — are you serious? Is that where the government takes a crack house to build a million dollar hotel that will pay taxes. Is that what you are worried about? SLEEP WELL my friend!!

I actually voiced that out loud when I saw this post.

Vera Coking eminent domain mess

Started years before Trump was involved in Atlantic City. Trump offered her a lot more than the property was worth and an apartment for life and she turned him down. Property was sold in the last several years by her grandson for about 25% of what Trump offered her.

All he has to do is tell the truth - she didn't sell, she didn't move, no one took her property. Foolish decision on her part, IMHO, but, hey, it was her boarding house and hers to keep if she wanted to.

Public Power, Private Gain: The Abuse of Eminent Domain

I know everyone here thinks Trump's indestructible but I think this is some bad stuff. And if he takes same approach he's taken in the past, that everyone does it and he's only abiding by the law, I don't think it will fly. Especially since he's taken such joy in bragging about buying off gov't.

I want Trump, I think he's our only hope. But I think this is too easily dismissed and might bring him down. No one on FR offered a defense either, I don't think there is one.

Dang it, Donald Trump only did what any businessman in his position would do, he went to the local govt and persuaded them it would be in the city's best interest (which it was) to invoke eminent domain (which they did.) The courts said this was a misuse of eminent domain and ruled for the plaintiff and against the local govt. Put the blame where it belongs, on the city officials who did this, not Donald Trump.

I know that and you know that. And we both know that’s not how CNN is going to paint it. I’m simply saying, he’d better have a good argument. If nothing else, be prepared to argue that the case is against eminent domain, not him.

btw, yours is the clearest response I’ve seen.

They would jump at the chance at selling their own grandmothers down the Amazon. In a leaky boat. With a bilge pump.
