Tone-deaf Trump touts eminent domain support

It’s true.

You hadn’t noticed?

[anton]

Yea, Trump is tone deaf. Right.

[Slyfox]

So, you are telling me I am not entitled to my own opinion?

[DoughtyOne]

B. S.

I fed it like it got it.

I never called his supporters homosexuals, followers of Hitler, the victims of anal rape and all the other fun things Cruz supporters referenced me with.

I addressed issues on point, and that was deemed to be an unfair attack.

You folks really do need to sit up and take notice.

[Republican Wildcat]

No, it was not debunked. There's been a lot of false arguments made to try to defend Trump about it, yes...but it was not debunked - because it is completely true.

There would be no airports, no highways, fewer schools, fewer hospitals, and no Keystone Pipe Line without eminent domain.

Please oh please, someone declare my house falls for some type of eminent domain, and offer me SEVEN times what my house is worth, like that lady in NY. I have zero sentimental attachment to bricks, mortar, wood, copper, roof shingles, etc used to build my house.

All the memorabilia are inside the house, and I can easily move them to my new and bigger and better house.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....All of a sudden, many FReepers went ape-s##t on the issue of eminent domain. Now none of them want Keystone. What a hoot. Keystone needs to use private eminent domain just like Trump did. Sorry Keystone, Trump was the kiss of death to you. All hail the lynching of Trump.

Everything with, for and about Trump is flexible.

What really amuses me about you "eminent domain" clowns is the fact that ALL of us RENT from the government.

I really think you clowns need to STFU until you lead a rebellion to reclaim "your" real estate properties from the government.

Oh, not happening? Then STFU and lick the government boot stamping your face.

Or, you can show me how "confrontational" you are by not paying your property rent "taxes" for 3 or 4 years.

We'll find out real quick who the REAL owner of "your" property is.

[Republican Wildcat]

Yes, I have indeed noticed people like you defending Trump no matter how leftist he goes.

[Moorings]

Building a oil pipline vs. building a private parking lot for limousines.

I think I see the difference there somewhere.

[DoughtyOne]

What a great line. Seven months and that’s your best shot.

LOL

CW: Hoe many politicians have you given the kiss of political death?

[jwalsh07]

You don’t have to construct strawman arguments. Just say your a Trump guy who does not believe in property rights as a natural right. Just make the leap to statist. Like Trump.

[kiryandil]

Do you own real estate?

[kiryandil]

Do you own real estate?

My point is that any candidate who is beating the competition as soundly as Trump is, is by definition of the term, not tone deaf. You can like him or dislike him all you want. That’s irrelevant to whether he’s tone deaf or not. Trump is beating the competition by huge margins, is obviously resonating with millions, and routinely draws 10,000 to 20,000 people to his rallies. Anyone who asserts that Trump is tone deaf doesn’t know what the word means. That’s my point.

[jwalsh07]

Spoken like a statist puke.

[Moorings]

Yes, we took notice. Lynching of Ted Cruz for the last six months.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, well I’m not the only guy that likes his platform.

If that makes me a Lefty, you really need to reconsider your qualifications for what makes one a Lefty.

Sorry I meant to post that to CW, not you. =) Late at night I guess! I will give it another shot.

[Republican Wildcat]

Well, you know what a house is, but apparently not what a home is. But that's not the point and not a response to the argument. Eminent domain is not meant to be able to transfer property from one person to another for private use - as in taking someone's home away to replace it with a parking area for limousines. That is not the proper use of eminent domain.
