Donald Trump Targets Ted Cruz [and it's helping Cruz]
Wall Street Journal ^ | January 10, 2016 | Heather Haddon and Janet Hook

Posted on 01/10/2016 2:15:21 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump is taking aim at Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz, a tactical shift that could be risky on two fronts: It may have come too late, and the Texas senator might actually be benefiting from the attacks......

For Mr. Cruz, being under attack by other Republicans is a badge of honor, another backer said. "It's a quasi-endorsement of Cruz to the grass roots," said Saul Anuzis, former Michigan GOP chairman.

Polls show a growing number of Trump backers see Mr. Cruz as their second choice. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said that when the campaign began, polls showed that only 4% of Trump backers saw his boss as their second choice. A new poll by NBC/SurveyMonkey finds that number has risen to 39%.

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 66% of Trump voters said they would consider supporting Mr. Cruz -- far more than other major candidates....

Ok, then it’s not private use. Thank you.

It is a corporate use.

You don’t attend football games, other sporting events, use railroads, airports, and a multitude of other services that came into being via eminent domain that are not government entities?

Like I said, that’s very principled. Good for you.

Why are you still debating this? Is the Keystone pipeline privately or publicly owned?

“Trump said he thought only citizens born in the U.S. could run for president.

“And, honestly, I don’t know, because some people say you have to be born on the land, OK?” he said. “You have to be born on the land. That’s what I always thought before, you have to be born on the land. So he was born in Canada.”....

Buh bye now. Walker called. He said you are the kiss of death. Cruz didn’t know how to tell you, but he’s more than a little nervous if you are stumping for him.

Okay, so then Cruz must be a socialist then, because he supports the Keystone Pipeline. (FYI, "socialism" wouldn't be transfering stuff into private hands, moron.)

Are you for the Keystone Pipeline?

The rest of us have been.

I know you folks get a bur under your saddle and can’t switch gears, but that is no difference than what Trump has been involved with.

PRIVATE COMPANIES using eminent domain.

Yeah, given his lack of self control and his overuse of ad hominem attacks, it’s not a matter of if, but when he gets the final zot.

I'm for the pipelines under CAPITALISM, and NOT "Eminent Domain".
If the two parties can't come to an agreement, then buy someone else's land who will sell.

It is not my desire to ever see someone use eminent domain to take your property and home to create a large property they can live on at your loss.

When it’s a massive enterprise like a hotel or another business that can be a real boon to the community, there are a lot of factors in play.

A hotel in the area can mean huge amounts of money spent in locations around the hotel. Resorts, businesses, city venues...

Tens of thousands of jobs are affected.

Should one family be able to block all this?

I recognize that sanctity of a man’s home and property. Still, there is compelling interest in other people having an income and them being able to have a home too.

Every person who becomes employed because a large complex is built, will be having a home paid for due to the business climate created.

Does one man’s home become more important than the thousands of other people who need to support a home?

This isn’t a black and white issue.

It’s not like Trump is the only guy that is going to benefit off this deal, and he’s a big bad guy for trying to create something.

Thousands will benefit.
