RE: See how they slipped this in. Nothing to do with Trump.

Trump supported the Kelo decision.

See here:

So, what Laws did the Trump Corporation break again? Don’t like the Law, Elect Politicians that will change it.

Riiight, but then we shouldn't elect Trump if we don't like this law. That's why the story's relevant. It's a new article, so, not a repeat post.

Stories like these, and I’m sure there are hundreds, will destroy Trump in the general. People losing their homes or small businesses so that the billionaire can get rich will make Romney’s 47% comment pale in comparison.

Puppies? The movie dog Marley’s breeder was actually Marla Maples when she was married to Trump. He wanted Marley euthanized. Urban Legend.

Wow, as we see again the trumpeters sell their souls for their god, the donald. No pretense at being objective. Just like the Hillary supporters. Trump could drown kittens on national TV and the trumpeters would say “nothing to see move on”.

Trump did some stuff he shouldn't have done (I don't approve - don't misunderstand) and NOW all of that stuff REALLY matters? I can't recall any serious look into the Clinton's dirty dealings, moral outrage over Monica Lewinsky affair (plus half a dozen others) by the media, alleged conspiracy to murder OR Obama's background which is so questionable it makes Trump look like a school boy.

Where's the consistency here? Suddenly all of the small offenses which were overlooked with the communist leftists suddenly are MAJOR offenses with Trump. Next, they'll investigate whether he squeezes the toothpaste tube in the middle or from the end.

Hypocrites!

The consistency is that people on this board condemned Hillary’s actions. They understood that what Hillary did was wrong. These same people don’t apply that same standard to Trump. I think that is what is defined as hypocrisy. Look in a mirrors.

Re: He steals people’s properties, their private property, and gets giant casinos built. - Glenn Beck Program

I did some research and this is what I found.

Trump Plaza: built by Holiday Inn and Harrah's. Trump bought them out. The adjacent, Koking house, he did not steal her property. He never owned it at all. It sold at auction in 2011 by her grandson to Carl Ichan who is going to tear it down.

Trump Castle: was built by Hilton Hotels, when Hilton finished building the hotel, he couldn't get a gambling license due to ties to the mob. Then Trump purchased it and put a casino inside it. It was already built, nothing stolen and it is the middle of nowhere in the Marino district. Later become Trump Marina and now Golden Nugget.

Taj Mahal: built by Merv Griffin, when Griffin ran out of money to finish the inside, Trump bought the property. It was already built, nothing stolen.

Trump doesn't own any casinos anymore and hasn't been invloved with them in a number of years.

In conclusion, this is another lie being told daily on the Glenn Beck program.

Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat, and a union president to boot, and a divorcé, and generally a lousy actor. So what? I cared about what he said, and what he said he'd do, not his sorted past, as I do with this entire year's batch of candidates. It is as simple as that.

So when Glenn Beck and his buddies Pat and Stu say Trump "steals" people's properties, this is not true?

According to the article, in both incidents involving Imminent Domain, they were trying to hold out for more money, and Trump lost both cases.

Glenn was still lying on Friday on Hannity radio about inviting Trump onto his show numerous times.

In other words, you answered your own question.

This is a non-story.

So far, all the negative stories about Trump have been the same.

Sure, I agree with the property owners in these cases, not Trump.

One pair of property owners were two Russian guys who had just bought the property a month before the 'offer' to purchase that property by the developer.

Seems they had inside info on what to buy in order to 'flip' it for (they expected) a huge profit. They asked for , IIRC, $4 million.

Trump made them a much lower offer and they refused. He lost the case anyway, but Trump is not the only wart in those particular instances.

This isn’t Trump’s past. This is him on the record saying what he believes the government should be able to do. And he’s asking to be put in charge of the government. To date, he hasn’t flip-flopped, er, evolved on this issue, so this is what he presently believes.

What does the media’s reporting on Democrats have to do with conservatives trying to make sure they nominate a candidate who’s conservative?

“This isn’t Trump’s past. This is him on the record saying what he believes the government should be able to do.”

Sorry, but not “on the record” with this particular author. Good journalism requires an author to ask the subject of his piece for a response to their accusations, or to state that their office was contacted for comment and declined, etc. There isn't any such references here. Therefore, just hearsay. Absent that, I don't take it as him (Trump) on the record. Just an opinion piece.

He made the right decision to get out when he did. Smart business. Are you saying you would have done it differently? You must be very wealthy... No wait.... Nevermind
