Exactly, “eminent domain” enabled the Interstate Hwy System that all complainers about ED in this election year use or have used. It enables the lights in your house and the water in your house and your gas and getting a cold one out of the refrigerator. You like getting a shower, ED enables it. Do you like flying on airliners, ED enables it. I could go on and on almost endlessly.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, ED is a powerful tool in the hands of politicians and their entrepreneur businessman allies that has been much abused and to the extreme, even criminal, detriment of “some”. Most likely, Trump, who I support right along side of Cruz, was abusing ED. I don’t know the facts of that case. If he did, shame on him but the country needs him in the Oval Office. That fact “Trumps” all others.

I can respect this. You understand the issue, are honest about what the significance is, and just disagree that it’s the most important issue to take into account.

What I can’t respect are all the “conservatives” around here who suddenly pretend that either:

a) there is no issue with eminent domain abuse to be concernced about
b) there’s no possible way Trump might have been on the wrong side of that issue
or
c) advocating for ANY use of ED automatically excuses any possible abuses of it

Honestly, your comment was the first comment by a Trump supporter I have seen on this topic that didn’t fall into categories a, b, c.
