Donald Trump shushed Jeb Bush during a feisty exchange between the two Republican candidates on eminent domain.
Trump was asked a question about eminent domain and he defended it, provoking Bush to interject that Trump used it to build a "limousine parking lot for his casino in Atlantic City."
When Bush moved to interrupt the real estate mogul, Trump raised one finger to his lips.
"Quiet," Trump said to Bush. The audience booed, and Trump said the booing was because of all the wealthy donors in the audience.
"The RNC told us we have all donors in the audience. And the reason they're not loving me is I don't want their money," Trump said, as the crowd continued to boo.

If true, mighty pathetic. Eminent domain is not in the top ten of issues, and Trump showed Jeb to be uniformed about ownership of Keystone pipeline. For those in the know, Jeb was a liar, and uninformed. For those not in the know, the exchange was a wash at best.
Yes Bush does know the Keystone pipeline is private owned it’s only you Trumpsters that aren’t smart enough to know pipelines are just like power lines, while both are privately owned both fall under eminent domain.
>>> very few tickets to the debate because the RNC gave them to PAC/Donors? If true, self funding was a disadvantage last night for Trump.

Perhaps for the donor class in the audience. But as a lowly peon out here in fly over country, I consider it an advantage. A YUGE advantage!
Gloves Come Off Between Bush, Trump Over Eminent Domain

Yes it’s true only the donors and party insiders get these tickets. We have a debate coming up here in SC and the Trump people locally have a told me they are lucky if they get a handful in the nosebleed section. If you know some insiders you might be able to purchase one for upwards of a $1000.
Has any developer not used eminent domain or sued for a piece of property to build? Are we all a bunch of anti-capitalists not that we have a businessman running?
Pray America wakes
Eminent domain, the Keystone pipeline — do you consider that a private job? Do you — do you consider that...
BUSH: I consider it a public use.
TRUMP: No — no, let me ask you, Jeb.
(BELL RINGS)
Do you consider the Keystone pipeline private?
BUSH: It’s a public use. It’s a public use.
TRUMP: Is it public or private?
BUSH: It’s a public use. TRUMP: Real — a public use?
BUSH: Yeah.
TRUMP: No, it’s a private job.
BUSH: It’s a public use.
TRUMP: It’s a private job.
BUSH: Established by the courts — federal, state courts.
TRUMP: You wouldn’t have the Keystone pipeline that you want so badly without eminent domain.
Railroads hold title. Canals held title.
They do not call them the stupid party for nothing. The republicans continue to earn the title.
Trump had to do a little bit of investigating to find out how the audience was loaded and have the oo's to say it out loud.
St Anselm in NH has a seating capacity of roughly 545 if you use seating chart and count. Trump is said to have gotten 20 tickets out of that 545. Would be interesting to know how many each other candidate got. If all 7 got 20 then who got the other 405 tickets? Very unfair distribution lead to the booing! The public should have ready access to that information.
He turned lemons into lemonade when he announced the makeup of the audience.
Eminent domain this! Justice's farm is target - NBC News - 6/29/2005
They’re called utilities. Most take easements for the distribution lines.
Trump was on FIRE!!! It was a sight to behold.
Sounded like an RNC “Rent-a-Mob”.
Yes, private pipelines are lumped into infrastructure, just like power lines and railroads. The definition does not, however, include strip club parking lots.
Haven't all of the Republican "debates" (which are nothing of the sort) been more-or-less similarly arranged to ensure a GOP-e audience? Reince wouldn't be doing his masters' bidding if he wasn't doing what he could to wrong-foot Donald Trump, and stacking the audience is a pretty easy - and generally effective - way to get the result you want.
Reince's (and his bosses') problem is that Jeb has an uncanny ability to do two things: look like a big doof, and drop any ball that's thrown to him. Even despite the boos Trump manages to recover, and Jeb - as usual - ends up looking like. . . "Jeb." For lagniappe, Trump is able to mention the bought-and-paid-for audience without having to pull it out of thin air.
