Yeah, right. So, semantics is another term for lie? The tweet says bulldozed, the house wasn’t.

Okay. Okay. You wanna talk candidates? Let’s talk candidates, shall we?

IF we are to assume the worst about Trump’s motives, he did this for greed or pride or ego or whatever. Okay, whatever. One woman (not) deprived of house and home and memories. That’s bad. Assuming, of course, that Trump personally went to get that property, but as I said, we’re assuming the worst.

ON THE OTHER HAND.

You don’t have to look much at FR in order to see all the complaints about Cruz’s past votes and positions. HB-1s and legalization and TPA and all that? Yeah, I don’t have to paint you a picture.

Again, let us assume the worst, because that’s only fair, yes?

We know that illegal immigration, not to mention HB-1 visas take jobs from legal Americans and give them to the immigrants. With these votes and positions, Cruz denied work to many, MANY job-seeking Americans. You don’t know them; you didn’t see them bleed. But with these votes he snatched food from their mouths and clothes off their backs. And for what? For political power and donation money.

Are you going to give one man a pass for his actions over the other, just because you happen to favor him?

These are the same tactics that Dewhurst used against Ted in the Senate Runoff election: “In the hotly contested U.S. Senate race, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has suggested that his rival, former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, puts the interests of China above those of the United States.

They are tactics Trump has used against Cruz, by implying that margin loans secured by personal securities holdings - loans that are available to all and sundry - were the result of special favors promised to Goldman Sachs and Citibank. The birther nonsense is yet another instance of Trump's dirty tricks. Trump can dish it out but can't take it.

If Trump gets the nomination, stories like this will make newspaper front pages and news websites every hour every day of the week. It's time he got used to being pulverized. Right now, the liberal media is pulling its punches - only opinion articles nobody reads are criticizing Trump. When he wins the nomination, Trump's dirty linen will be featured as headline articles.

Because Zhang sees his man now drowning in the only state he once had a 2 point lead, and now 10 points behind in the latest poll from Iowa. Zhang is doing exactly the same thing as any drowning man would do...grab on to anything floating nearby. Even if it is a poisonous snake.

Thank you for the links.

I have seen often in my life when a parent dies anger and greed often emerge and families can be destroyed. I would rather judge on events that are less hearsay. The article appears very sensationalized.

The brothers appear to have been estranged over many years. Apparently the loss of medical care was a decision made by Trump’s father after Trump’s brother’s son sued his grandfather(Trump’s father): http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/trumps-bitter-battle-nephew-ailing-baby-caught-middle-article-1.888562

Ivan speaks very well of Donald now. Things said during the divorce are usually appalling and often self serving.

Trump 40.6%

Before anybody posts that this means 59.4% are against Trump, I am one of the 10.5% for Cruz who will happily vote for Trump in November if he is the nominee.

Explain how exactly it was a “lie”. Trump used eminent domain in order to bulldoze a woman’s house. This is not a lie, but indeed a fact. That the order was reversed by an honest judge doesn’t change things.

Here are more facts:

She didn’t want to sell. She didn’t sell to Guccione, and she wouldn’t sell to him.

He didn’t like that, so he convinced Atlantic City to do his dirty work for him.

She fought back and won.

He and his surrogates are trying to say he changed his mind. He didn’t - the judge did it for him.

But again, by all means, keep defending it. I think Trump should pay for ads in NH and IA explaining exactly what happened. I’m sure the other campaigns wouldn’t mind chipping in.

Total JERK. Never EVER will I vote for this fraud who passes himself off as a Republican.

I'll vote for him if he wins the nomination. Because what's the alternative? But I have to agree that he is a major league scumbag.

Well opinions make horse races and we can agree to disagree.
I think most of the articles are hack jobs that take statements out of context and lie through insinuation. I trust the media and talking head’s as far as I can throw them. That’s why I make it a habit to google and drill down to find out what was actually said. I value your honest discourse.

Can you explain why Ted Cruz favored path to legal status for illegals? I will just post recorded video of an official venue and let your eyes see for yourself:

Path to Legal Status for Illegals

Cheap Foreign Workers on H1-B visa

Pushing TPP

I’ll do as I please. I’ll vote for whomever I wish and I won’t vote if I don’t like the candidate.

Sue me. If destroying America is what it takes to get through some people’s heads, so be it. I’m tired of pulling the lever for “the lesser evil.”

Sorry, but the CitiBank load is a Signature Loan. Also the assets securing the Goldman Sacks loan are apparently joint assets, which means that Hiedi has probably exceeded the maximum amount she could contribute. I would say that the Establishment probably has Teddy by the short hairs.

There are lawsuits in New Hampshire and Ohio, filed by folks who probably actually have standing, challenging Ted’s eligibility status as a “natural born citizen”.

As for Trump’s dirty linen, it has all be put out there a long time ago. There is even a full-length documentary on just what a bad person he is. And the liberal media is shell shocked from Trump’s onslaught! He is turning the “Rules for Radicals” back on them big time.

Be my guest. After voting for McCain and Romney, I’m sick of voting for people I cannot stand and didn’t support in the first place.
I’ll go to my Maker without the hashtag #Ididitbecauseeveryoneelsedid

Saying a house was flattened and is was not is a damn lie. Had Cruz stated -”Had the judge not intervened- Trump was going to flatten the house for a parking lot for the casino.” Trump is right about eminent domain as we have seen that used in downtown Nashville again and again. My neighborhood, where Andrew Jackson lived, has changed because the Dem Mayor and his pals wanted to redo part of the downtown where poorer folks lived. The plan entailed making more high rises plus expensive homes for yuppies where projects and many minority types lived. The house flippers came in and made homes that were 180K max bring 500K plus. Hell one brought over a million. I call it the progressive party urban renewal. You have probably seen this as Obama is dead set about changing the percentage of minorities by zip codes.
