As I posted just now, I couldn’t find a complete or a continuous series of parts. If you find one, let me know? I saw all the dramatic bits and quite a lot more but I would like to watch the whole thing in sequence.
I never heard that. Too bad Kennedy had to win it with slimy humor.
I’m to lazy to actually go look, but it might be on ABC cable on demand if you have that
I just spoke to a Rand supporter today and he said he will probably go with Trump. He watches CSPAN nonstop and knows more stuff about Congress than anyone would want to know. Extremely conservative.
...........
I’d say your bias is showing, Rod!
............
No question. I'm not Rush Limbaugh! I don't have to be fair and balanced so I can give all my listeners and equal chance to chose "their" candidate. During the primaries I can pick whomever I want and I choose Trump.
Rush on the other hand was fair and balanced until two weeks ago when he chose Cruz. That was the day he lost credibility among many of us for initiating bias.
There is a world of difference between his bias and mine. I'm allowed a choice. I'm off the air and have been for several years,he's not.
So Trump used eminent domain to try to build his hotel. None of the other candidates on that podium has built a kool-aide stand let alone employed anyone.
To them real world businessmen have no place in their debating society.
Trump is the Man-Child on the debate stage. He offers NO substance - only childish rants, faces, gestures and petty sniping remarks. No one with a true conservative heard and mind can justify wanting him as our leader...
I think this analysis of yours stands for the whole night a good summary. I wouldn’t say though that Trump was a “winner” but Christie and Cruz were for the whole night (as you said at the halfway point). (Disclaimer I’m a Cruz supporter)
I really don’t think Trump came across very well during the whole eminent domain issue. At a certain point he was accusing those of booing him of being “establishment plants”; it may have been true (it did seem the audience was stacked with establishment types but that could have been just because this is NH we’re talking about here not exactly a conservative bastion) but the moment didn’t come off very well for him. At that moment he looked defensive and petulant.
At a certain moment he was just trying to talk over Bush instead of answer the issue; and he never did answer the charge in his defense. He just blustered his way through it. Sure he said those involved with his deals “made a lot of money”, but he never fully defended himself against the charge. He kept trying to deflect the issue likening his past plans with the Keystone pipeline efforts. The two are not the same. But I think he did a fair job of deflection as he always does; his supporters were probably not dissuaded and there probably weren’t too many who understood he was deflecting, instead of defending himself there.
I don’t think he hurt himself substantially, he won’t loose NH or anything like that. His lead is too great. But he might loose a couple percentage points over it. Kelo impacted people in that region I’m sure many there know more about it than the rest of the country. I’m sure there are more than a few there who realize building a bridge or a school or even a pipeline is not the same as building a parking lot for limosines.
Seriously, nobody likes to think thier property might be in the path of a development. But out of all the literally hundreds of thousands of residences he has built, and resorts and offices used by literally millions of people over a 40-year career, you are only able to name two individuals who have moaned about the threat of losing their house — and the one lady kept hers. Not a bad track record. I’ve seen worse here locally when they have to widen the roads to accommodate increased traffic.
Wharton gives the BBA to undergrads; Trump’s name is listed on an honor roll on their site of outstanding graduates. So you are correct; he took what he learned there and made the most of it. Certainly growing up in the business couldn’t have hurt him, either. All any degree can do is prepare you for the starting stages. You have to bring a lot to the process yourself. But for people on this site (not you) to dismiss his intelligence or say he is “just a reality tv star” is ludicrous.
It’s not a sin to have money. Money gives the ability to do charity, run for office without being beholden to special interests, and other great things.
See post 3810.
Yes. That’s true. The lady saw deep pockets so decided to keep demanding more, even though Trump was her offering so much more than the property’s value. It was a type of extortion on her part, figuring his business couldn’t survive without her property. She figured wrong. Isn’t there some point in “The Art Of The Deal” that says, “Be prepared to walk away”? He did. Greedy lady lost out on the big bucks and basically screwed herself.
Trump has no power to use eminent domain.
He was trying to do a deal between himself and the lady.
She got greedy.
He walked away.
Atlantic City wanted taxes from the revenue generated from his business.
They brought in eminent domain.
It’s convenient for his enemies to tie him to the issue, when it was the city.
All the others took the money. Few stay and fight. Same with the VA malpractices. Most, say 99% take the deal instead of fighting the department of Injustice.
That’s why so few volunteer for the military.
Majority rule.
It is simple for a conservative. If the taking is not for public use it is not constitutional. The value of the property or the price offered has nothing to do with constitutionality. Where is the difficulty?
Of course that is not what Scripture says - it's the love of money....
Which candidate spends a lot of time talking about his money? Ever wonder why?
I’m afraid Obama’s masters have planned all along for an EMP attack in November or December, to keep any new POTUS from being inaugurated. The candidates have the biggest bully pulpit in the country right now. They NEED to address the EXTREME vulnerability of this nation due to the actions of the guy occupying our White House.
They should do at the very least 2 things:
1. Move our portable radar system to cover the hole in our southern border.
2. Designate all funds for Air Force 1 and supplies for the underground White House bunker to go instead to border enforcement and intel that DOESN’T erase all information about known terrorists (How the HECK is that not a blatant act of treason?). Make Obama and his family go down with the ship. If he’s going to pull the plug on this nation it’s got to be a suicide/family murder mission. Period. His family should be the collateral for this foreign enemy combatant to finish out his illegal term.
I know the candidates can’t do those things. They should make a big enough stink that Congress does those things.
Better yet, you bots can stop with the “visited other sites and they are bashing Trump” meme. Third time I’ve seen that posted here in the last 30 minutes.
You noticed, too?
Funny how they play matching memes. Do you suppose they get emails or texts....with their TPM?
Cruz is such a phoney.
