The fact remains Trump praised the Kelo decision and eminent domain.

I know Trump's moved on to other "issues" but remember this:

Yes, you are right......he does favor Kelo.

But in most cases, it does have a beneficial effect....raising people out of ghettos and slums into better housing and thriving environments w/ better schools.

REFERENCE---A 2007 study by the Institute for Land Justice, a think-tank opposed to eminent domain, listed what it said were disparate effects of eminent domain. Taken together, more residents in areas targeted by eminent domain are ethnic or racial minorities, who have completed significantly less education, and live on significantly less income; more of them live at or below the federal poverty line, as quoted in the International Business Times.

"The fact remains Trump praised the Kelo decision and eminent domain."

The fact remains that Cruz lied when he said Trump used eminent domain to get rich. That is a documented lie. There are many more documented lies told by Ted Cruz.

Trump is IMHO wrong on eminent domain but at least he doesn't lie about it. He plainly says what he thinks and takes the hits.
