Donald Trump Targets Ted Cruz [and it's helping Cruz]

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....

So, what you are saying is that to end the debate, a Declaration by Congress is needed?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Trump wanted to build a limo parking lot.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Is that you Donald!?

LoL

[Yosemitest]

You left out the real DIFFERENCE between Trump and others:

Trump uses "EMINENT DOMAIN"

FOR PRIVATE USE !

That's a humongous difference !

[DoughtyOne]

Like I said to Yosemitest, I am glad you folks don’t use anything that was created or built using eminent domain.

I that is very principled of you.

Cruz’s, ahem.. evolving position on birthright citizenship.

[DoughtyOne]

Explain.

[DoughtyOne]

Where? For what purpose? Was it his home? Lets hear the details.

You left out the real DIFFERENCE between Trump and others:

"For private use", you mean like for the Keystone Pipeline that Ted Cruz and all of you support? Keystone uses eminent domain.

There's actually more court cases (more than a hundred years worth) backing up eminent domain "for private use" in certain circumstances than there are those backing up Cruz as a natural born citizen.

Trump praises the Kelso:

I guess it's because it clears the way for those union jobs and Trump's bottom line.

Donald Trump defends his vocal support for eminent domain: 'I think it's a wonderful thing'

[Yosemitest]

Don't attach your wishes to me with those words.
There's no need for debate.
Our Founding Fathers have spoken CLEARLY on the matter, and it's already defined.
Just because YOU DO NOT LIKE THAT DEFINITION, is no reason to re-define it away FROM what OUR FOUNDING FATHERS put into LAW !

[Cowboy Bob]

Sorry, but you make no sense.

[DoughtyOne]

Ouch!

That’s gonna leave a mark!

I appreciate the link.

[Yosemitest]

You don't understand the difference between "Government Use" versus "Private Use" ?
It's a simple as Roads versus HOTELS/Gambling Casinos for Trump !

[Vision Thing]

And Cruz’s father thinks Eminent Dominionism is a wonderful thing.

[Yosemitest]

No, it's ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.
Now go back to DemocRAT Underground.

[Boardwalk]

TDS, don’t let it rot your brain more! Yes, I bet you may be the next to follow in the footsteps of C. Edmond Wright. I noticed a sense of peace on the board, and zot, it appears he has been removed.

[Vision Thing]

C. Edmund Wright is on temporary suspension, but if he gets one more strike, he’s out permanently.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That’s how you wish to “discuss” the candidates/issues, by seeking censorship?

The Global Warming crowd welcomes people like you.
