That’s a lie, if the ad really said that. A very bad lie.
[Only after he lost his bid to get the government to forcibly take the home from her!]
Proof??
Link to article below....

“He tried to negotiate, at one point offering Coking $1 million for the land. But she wasn’t budging. So New Jersey’s Casino Reinvestment Development Authority filed a lawsuit, instructing Coking to leave within 90 days and offering compensation of only $251,000.”
Bingo. You just proved that Cruz is a liar.
He didn’t pay the lady. For God’s sake, why is this so hard? He lost! The lady didn’t get 2 million and the house was standing at the time of her death. For all I know, it’s still standing.
She won the court case, and never collected the money that she was offered either by Trump or by the city.
She eventually moved out to a retirement home, and the property was sold in 2014 at auction for $530K.
Trump never bulldozed the house. That is a lie.
Her son took control. She went to live with him.
He decided it was worth 5 mil. That didn't work out. And IIRC, the good old son sold it at auction...at a loss after all the bills were paid.
P.S. They had pictures of the inside....It was a dump...a slum house.
See a little further into the ad then just the surface. The beginning of the ad is all it takes!! Listen to the first 5 seconds then shut it off. Then think just for a little bit in a quiet room and ask yourself. As a conservative do I support eminent domain as Trump does?
If the answer to that is no then you took from it what you should have as a Conservative.
The Super PAC speaks.
That’s not the story at all.
“Cruz is making a mistake with this line.”
I respectfully disagree. I, for one, do hope Trump’s recent conversion to conservatism is correct.
But Trumps has a lifetime of liberal positions to live down, some of which he still stands by — such as his position on government taking private property.
That would be a "lie by omission".
According to Trump, doesn't matter what happened to the creditors, because they're bad guys:
Let me just tell you about the lenders. First of all, these lenders aren't babies. These are total killers. These are not the nice, sweet little people that you think, OK?
Well, at least if you support eminent domain to give property to PRIVATE businesses... that is far beyond the pale of limited government.
I don’t have the same problem if there is a legitimate public need for the land.
What lies? Name them.
Lies? Are you saying that Trump DIDN'T use his government cronies to try to take Ms. Coking's property?
“What’s the date on that photo, genius?”
2011
The house was still standing in 2014 when it was sold.
You just posted the proof yourself!
