Donald Trump is taking aim at Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz, a tactical shift that could be risky on two fronts: It may have come too late, and the Texas senator might actually be benefiting from the attacks......
For Mr. Cruz, being under attack by other Republicans is a badge of honor, another backer said. "It's a quasi-endorsement of Cruz to the grass roots," said Saul Anuzis, former Michigan GOP chairman.
Polls show a growing number of Trump backers see Mr. Cruz as their second choice. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said that when the campaign began, polls showed that only 4% of Trump backers saw his boss as their second choice. A new poll by NBC/SurveyMonkey finds that number has risen to 39%.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 66% of Trump voters said they would consider supporting Mr. Cruz -- far more than other major candidates....

I have plenty of time to donate to Trump in the general!!
Once again, this is Donald Trump’s vision of private property rights when he was just another private citizen.

I hope that everyone who complains about eminent domain and the Kelo case realize that the Donald’s Trump Organization lost a property in LA due to....eminent domain. Eminent domain is both good and bad depending on the application.

Crickets to my questions to TDS Cruz supporters as to if they intend to vote for Trump in the general election. Too chicken to go on record. Very revealing, and considering what is at stake, very frightening.
I respect your right to believe that eminent domain was NOT used by DT to simply screw others and make money though clearly it was. Not the same as government taking to build roads.

Local governments will identify target areas for redevelopment to encourage developers and businesses to come to a blighted area to create jobs and new improvements.
“Yet many urban-affairs experts view the developers as saviors of our postindustrial cities. ‘With manufacturing leaving,’ says George Sternlieb, director of the Center for Urban Policy Research at Rutgers University, ‘and with Federal and state aid diminishing, our cities desperately need the rich. Cities are tending to fall into two categories: cities of consumption and cities with no economic base.” http://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/08/magazine/the-expanding-empire-of-donald-trump.html?pagewanted=all
This is an interesting article about Trump and the predates Trump’s move into Atlantic City. Without eminent domain you would have great difficulty doing redevelopment projects in older cities due to not only single holdouts, but also because of ground leases that lie underneath many of the old buildings in downtown, eastern areas, a real estate ownership holdover from England. On a ground lease the building owner does not own the land underneath. Without eminent domain, you cannot get the building down even if the land owner wants to sell their land.
City dwellers that live in blighted areas of an eastern city have a much different perspective on this issue. The owners of the property get paid more than fair value for their property.
As a side note: Ask the Duke of Westminister who controls land redevelopment in London.
I asked for it? For what? You’re very strange, and I’m not required to answer any of your questions. Besides, you don’t want to talk about the candidates. Strangely, you’re interested in me, even sending me mail.
I posted in error to your mail instead of the board and apologized. Sue me. You won’t answer the question but I already know your pathetic answer.
Makes perfect sense and I suspected as much! They may think they are safe now but once Trump wins the general they won’t be.
Your question is impertinent and irrelevant since your man, the former Clintonista, won’t be the candidate of the Republican Party. You will likely vote for him when he pulls a Ross Perot.
GOP GOP!
I also don’t think Cruz will win the nomination, but I would vote for him if so. I am asking you again if Trump wins the nomination and is the Republican the ticket, will you vote for him?
I will vote for the Republican nominee; he won’t be Trump.
That is not the question. Let’s try again, IF Trump is the Republican nominee will you vote for him?
I said I'd vote for the Republican nominee. You and I both know it won't be him. He's going to start his own party. He's going to say the Republicans are sooooo unfair to the poor Clintonista.
Here is Trump praising a tyrant.

Still evading the question. You sound like you are getting your marching orders from Rove. Are you?
I answered it twice, Hillary. Oh, that’s the lady your candidate said would make a great president. Now, I’ve answered your question. Answer one of mine. Would Hillary make a great president?
IBTZ. Hillary and any Democrat would be horrible for America as would any candidate except Trump or Cruz. What does Rove want you to say now?
I don’t have any idea. I have never met him. I don’t communicate with him, and I find it weird that you keep bringing up things not germane to this original post. So why is that? Why would you rather talk about me, or whom I’ll vote for, or some guy named Rove? Are you bereft of ideas about the post?
You sound like a GOP plant. You won’t last long here!
Some guy named Rove. Lol
