Not for me in the context of this discussion, and this election. I think it’s a stretch to call Trump fascist or Kelo fascism. And Vera Coking is a very poor example if trying to prove Trump or Kelo is fascist.

If eminent domain is such a dealbreaker why do most republicans including Cruz support Keystone XL? Trump is the smartest one on Keystone, the only one saying he would make a deal we would get a cut on what flows though it.

Getting stuck on this issue is like a dog peeing on one tree thinking it’s the whole forest. It’s not.

Then what do you call it when government takes property away from one person at the point of a gun and gives it to another person simply because that second person is more influential?

And Vera Coking is a very poor example if trying to prove Trump or Kelo is fascist.

Coking predated Kelo, which is why she won her case.

If eminent domain is such a dealbreaker . . .

It's not. Eminent domain is covered under Amendment V. However, Kelo is not. Kelo is pure unadulterated fascism. It is something that no honest conservative could ever tolerate. Yet you don't seem to have a problem with it at all.

Trump is the smartest one on Keystone, the only one saying he would make a deal we would get a cut on what flows though it.

Gee, where have I heard this populist bullshit before? Talk about economic ignorance. Get a cut? Seriously? Trump doesn't have a clue.

Getting stuck on this issue is like a dog peeing on one tree thinking it's the whole forest. It's not.

Supporting anyone who supports Kelo is the antithesis of Conservatism. It is not a minor issue. It is a full attack on the very foundation of freedom. And you are too blind to see it.
