exnavy; Here are your words in post 35; “And the past use of emminant domain for private property aquisition is, well, despicable.”

Anyone reading your statement would conclude Trump actually acquired private property through the use of eminent domain. All the articles linked so far confirm he did not acquire any property though eminent domain. Thus your statement in post 35 is FALSE.

Now Vera Coking; obviously I've read more about her than either of you have. She was willing to sell just like Trump said, the problem was she was greedy and “impossible to work with". That point is proven because she actually had the property listed for sale at various prices up to 5 million. Trump reportedly offered her at least one million and a lifetime stay at one of his properties in Florida. After she moved out of the property her son finally sold it at auction for a 530K, which shows the property's true market value.

I don't like to see self-professed conservatives play fast and loose with "facts" like both of you have on this thread. Accuracy matters, so be accurate, learn to do objective root cause analysis so conclusions formed are accurate, objective, and coherent.

This may be a very good choice; but we simply have NO idea...

But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

Trump used emminant domain to aquire private property in the nineties.

Interesting.

But just HOW does a mere citizen acquire the POWER that is reserved for governments?

“Different” doesn’t equal “better.”

Quite true; but it doesn't equal WORSE; either.

If Trump didn't have a fortune, would you give him a second look?

And why do you think he puts your concerns above his own?

This is a bit vague.


What ARE his concerns?

What are mine??

Read Laz’s post 85; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3372298/posts?page=85#85

“Strong negatives within the republican party” are offset by support from outside the party, or probably more accurate, populist support from those who are simply against political and media elitism. Like Laz says this is a different battle and battlefield.

Besides that Trump is at 41% nationally now. Crus is at 14%. Using CW’s logic 59% are “outside Trumps camp” and 86% are “outside Cruz’s camp”. With that logic Cruz would “have stronger negatives”. But that is the old battle/old battlefield mentality. I agree with Laz, it’s populism vs elitism now so that “old battle analysis” is irrelevant. It’s like Don Quixote thinking he’s fighting giants when they are windmills. Never going to win the battle when you are facing your own straw man imaginary enemy.

He warned about the problems of Islamic terrorism and open borders/illegal immigration in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve.

I think Donald can fund ANY of the other candidates to office if he wishes.

Can you think of a reason why?

There's only so much paper and ink available.

None of the information posted confirms as fact "Trump used emminant domain to aquire private property". Until proof is posted the statement is FALSE. See post 241.

There is a pesky little problem though - none of the information posted confirms as fact what exnavy stated as fact;

“Trump used emminant domain to aquire private property”

“And the past use of emminant domain for private property aquisition is, well, despicable.”

Until proof is posted that Trump physically acquired property though eminent domain the statements are FALSE. See post 241.
