No amount of deflecting excuses Trumps support of Kelo.

He’s a F’n slimey crook that swills other people’s money rather than risk his own.

He doesn’t loose anything when he goes bankrupt; he just moves on to different suckers.

Trump cannot get elected and he knows it.

If a fair, hand counted, paper ballot using valid passport information were held tomorrow, excluding illegal aliens and other voter fraud, Donald Trump would win in a landslide. You are, in a nutshell, delusional.

His negatives among likely Republican voters are reaching 60%.

If this were true, you folks wouldn’t be going apoplectic over Trump. If Donald were as much a joke as you folks say he is, you wouldn’t be wasting so much time on Trump threads.

He is on track to throw the election to the dem candidate.

He doesn’t have to win to do that; all he has to do is fool the fools like you.

Thanks, I wrote it and first published it here at FR.

There's a lot more at that site.

Until a couple of days ago, I didn’t understand it. Now, I think I do. I’m going to call it the “Dragonslayer Syndrome.”

People see him as a would-be dragonslayer. The evil dragon (D.C. cartel, GOP elite, whatever-you-call-it) has been terrorizing the people for so long that they will support anyone who claims he will slay the dragon. They will overlook his past misdeeds and current ulterior motives so as long as the dragon gets slain. That’s the only goal in sight.

As you probably know from reading fairytales, if the Dragonslayer is successful, he is celebrated as a hero and greatly rewarded, but he never gets to be king.

So, when you see conservatives defending him and overlooking what would normally be a nail in another’s coffin, realize that their focus is totally and solely on slaying the dragon.

I don’t know if he can slay the dragon or not. Time will tell. But rest assured, he will not be king in this fairytale.

You’re still rationalizing. And if YOU were being honest, you’d admit Trump has no regard for property rights of ordinary Americans.

SpaceBar, when this clown disagrees with people, his standard response is to call them a “troll.” If you’re looking for stimulating conversation, you might want to look elsewhere.

Thank you for that. Hopefully people will listen and think this time; although it is looking doubtful. We have the same old, silly “X”DS and “concern troll” drivel already being posted. Whenever one sees “derangement syndrome” in a post, it can be translated to “Don’t bother me with facts! I refuse to hear the truth.”

I have every respect for private rights, but when a holdout like this appears and trys to halt a zillion dollar improvement to her city, I begin to side with the city....she was offered FAR more than her property was worth and her obstinance was uncalled for. Sometimes a little sacrifice is necessary for the good of the whole.

Trump did try to use eminent domain to oust an old lady from her home so he could build a parking garage. The problem is government just has too much power. When it’s for sale, people will buy it.
