If you're backing SOCIALIST Trump for President, ponder this .
Donald Trump and Eminent Domain, August 22nd, 2015
![](http://www.redstate.com/uploads/2015/08/trump_debate_AP-620x354.jpg)
... More, Trump has publicly defended the confiscation of private property for eminent domain, even when the use for which the property is confiscated is purely private in nature:
Trump consistently defended the use of eminent domain.
Interviewed by John Stossel on ABC News, he said:"Cities have the right to condemn for the good of the city.
Everybody coming into Atlantic City sees this terrible house instead of staring at beautiful fountains and beautiful other things that would be good."
Challenged by Stossel, he saidthat eminent domain was necessary to build schools and roads.
But of course he just wanted to build a limousine parking lot.
Once again, this is Donald Trump's vision of private property rights when he was just another private citizen.
Imagine how much more damage he could do as the leader of the Federal executive branch.
Thomas Sowell called it CORRECTLY !
...Trump boasts that he can make deals, among his many other boasts.
But is a deal-maker what this country needs at this crucial time?
Is not one of the biggest criticisms of today's Congressional Republicansthat they have made all too many deals with Democrats,betraying the principles on which they ran for office?
Bipartisan deals -- so beloved by media pundits -- have produced some of the great disasters in American history.
Contrary to the widespread viewthat the Great Depression of the 1930s was caused by the stock market crash of 1929,
unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months that followed the stock market crash in October, 1929.
Unemployment was 6.3 percent in June 1930 when a Democratic Congress and a Republican president made a bipartisan deal that produced the Smoot-Hawley tariffs.
Within 6 months, unemployment hit double digits --and stayed in double digits throughout the entire decade of the 1930s.
You want deals?There was never a more politically successful deall than that which Neville Chamberlain made in Munich in 1938.
He was hailed as a hero, not only by his own party but even by opposition parties, when he returned with a deal that Chamberlain said meant "peace for our time."
But, just one year later, the biggest, bloodiest and most ghastly war in history began.
If deal-making is your standard,didn't Barack Obama just make a deal with Iran --one that may have bigger and worse consequences than Chamberlain's deal?
What kind of deals would Donald Trump make?He has already praised the Supreme Court's decision in "Kelo v. City of New London" which saidthat the government can seize private property to turn it over to another private party.
That kind of decision is good for an operator like Donald Trump.
Doubtless other decisions that he would make as president would also be good for Donald Trump,

Though I support Cruz there is a case for trump.
We live in a radical age of propaganda. Even Fox News schills for lies.
Electing trump would damage those epistemic systems. People would leave the country. Heads would explode.
That system of lying from Hollywood to public schools must be broken.

A person running for president should study issues but Donald seems to think bluffing and bullying is sufficient.
There is no case to be made for this low-class man.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Arguments for Trump:
1) He can win. He can do this by attracting enough Reagan Democrats with his positions on trade and immigration. Watching Romney flounder taught me that sadly a candidate claiming to be a traditional Conservative cannot win in the current environment.
2) He will shove back hard against the Clinton machine and the Democrats’ Saul Alinsky crap. All others in the GOP have shown they just don’t have the stomach for that.
