Yes he does. He supports the Keystone Pipeline. All the GOP does. And like the GOP, he's not going to push for a constitutional amendment to fiddle with eminent domain laws anytime soon.

Does being conservative mean that you will not support ANY GOP bill whatsoever?
There would seem to be a significant qualitative difference between a pipeline to transport Canadian crude across multiple States for processing in American refineries, thus securing a North American strategic supply of oil creating employment for thousands of people, and using eminent domain to forcibly evict someone from their home for a casino parking lot extension. I don’t see the former as Democrat ad material next October, but the latter? You bet.
How is it possible that we have railroads and an interstate system in this country without eminent domain or something of that sort?
Seek said, “Trump supports the Kelo vs City of New London Decision of the Supreme Court where the taking of private property by the government in order to build hotels and casinos for “economic development†was deemed compatible with the constitution.
Ted Cruz does not.”

Yeah, because not pushing for a constitutional amendment is EXACTLY like stealing a private citizens house to build a parking garage for limos! Yep, Cruz and Trump are exactly the same on this issue!
Jeesh, things get crazier and crazier on this site.
THE PIPELINE is of national strategic importance. a vital civil use
thats what emminant domain is supposed to be about not specifically for private gain
