Aw Jeez. Don't you think if there was anything to it Cruz would have added it to his campaign ad.

A believer in limited government does not use eminent domain to take land for a golf course.

It's this type of character flaw that will turn the majority against him in the general. His followers will ignore this cruel bullying behavior just as they have embraced the Rat talking points for obamacare to support his belief in the individual mandate. We see one red flag after another, but it doesn't slow him down because people are so angry.

It's a shame we seem to blowing another great opportunity to reestablish conservatism as the dominant political belief in this country.

I'm sticking with Cruz. He believes what I believe and he has always stuck by me.

I moved to Delray Beach 3 years ago, and soon after I took the boat tour of the Inter-coastal. This was years before Trump even entered politics. On the tour the guide points out a tall condo building that Trump once bought and flipped. As the story goes, he went to a monthly HOA meeting and offered every resident double market value for their units... they all gladly accepted.

I've heard other similar stories about him around the county... not one story from anyone painted him as being anything but fair and completely generous in his dealings around here.

Since these stories were being told BEFORE he entered politics, I tend to believe them more than these articles in publications which clearly have an anti-Trump (anti-anything other than liberal/socialist actually) agenda.

Rumor has it that Trump, once elected, will use executive order and eminent domain to take the entire Island of Hawaii and turn it into Mara Largo II.

Yet gullible people believe he's going to use that power to help them

Gullible? Ted Cruz wanted to quintuple the number of H-1B visas. Trump's stance made Ted walk that back.

As a 55 year old IT worker, Trump's campaign has already paid dividends for me, even if he never even gets the nomination, as H-1B visas are probably the greatest threat to my livihood.

If you see that as gullible, well, go p*** up a rope.

It wasn’t just his bullying attempt to take over the property, it was his utter disdain for the ‘little’ people occupying it.

All the ‘little’ people who think Trump loves them should think again.

Contradiction in terms.

National Review hates conservatives.

National Review hates Donald Trump.

I totally agree. People latched onto Trump because he expressed their rage.

It’s time to get over that initial infatuation and look at who Donald Trump is.

You mean the Big Island?

Hope he doesn’t take over Maui.

Although Maui would make a really huge golf course.

Sorry, I asked a specific question. You answered your own question, not mine.

How about Clinton and Obama reclassifying Federal Lands Use to prevent Low Sulphur Coal Mining in Utah and other States?

This is in another country. Did Trump follow the law there?
