” 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.
Sir, you are EXACTLY correct on all points!
Ironically, there is no more important issue than a country saver in the Oval Office (Trump OR Cruz).
That said, all our modern conveniences are a direct result of ED which takes many forms by the way that are not always called Eminent Domain.
Government once attempted to force my development company to donate 100k for a fishing pier, to name just one co-ercive tactic of government!
