Look at this, I go off to snooze last night and miss all the drama,
if someone had told me there was going to be a ZOT party,
I would have stayed up!
Four days. That was quick.

Two grown men running for president met in a storage closet last night. The meeting, called by Ted Cruz in an attempt to mend fences with Ben Carson ahead of the South Carolina primary, was held on Thursday night before the Conservative Review convention. The two huddled in the unusual venue for nearly 20 to 25 minutes, as Carson's Secret Service detail stood outside, according to a Republican operative who witnessed the strange scene.

So that makes it at least 4 apologies so far that we know of.
The CNN panel post Town Hall said this Cruz/Liar thing has stuck and is a big problem for him. Explains this weird meeting.

Nov 12, 2015 - (CNN)Donald Trump said Thursday that Ben Carson’s self-described “pathological temper” is incurable — adding that it’s like the sickness of a “child molester.” “It’s in the book that he’s got a pathological temper,” Trump told “Erin Burnett OutFront,” speaking about Carson’s ...
Both your examples are BS. Paul used Cruz trying to put a poison pill to the gang of eight as him lying when Paul knew what he was doing. Trump did try to take her property...he finally dropped it when he realized his Atlantic City Casino was going kaput and sold it!!!!
I really didn't go all blood in the water with him (this shark is becoming refined, yes?), but he was sure trying.
He reminds me of OldDeckHand, we had a few bouts long ago, which explains why he got rabid so fast. Maybe that was his prior screen name.
Tis a mystery. Tell me how I did if you get the chance. I can handle the truth......sometimes......

David Boaz of the Cato Institute has an excellent article summarizing Donald Trump’s shameful history of promoting eminent domain abuse for the purpose of seizing property from homeowners and businesses who refuse to sell to him:
For more than 30 years Vera Coking lived in a three-story house just off the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. Donald Trump built his 22-story Trump Plaza next door. In the mid-1990s Trump wanted to build a limousine parking lot for the hotel, so he bought several nearby properties. But three owners, including the by then elderly and widowed Ms Coking, refused to sell.
As his daughter Ivanka said in introducing him at his campaign announcement, Donald Trump doesn’t take no for an answer.
Trump turned to a government agency – the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) – to take Coking’s property….
Peter Banin and his brother owned another building on the block. A few months after they paid $500,000 to purchase the building for a pawn shop, CRDA offered them $174,000 and told them to leave the property. A Russian immigrant, Banin said: “I knew they could do this in Russia, but not here. I would understand if they needed it for an airport runway, but for a casino?â€
Ultimately, as Boaz notes, Trump and the CRDA lost in court in CRDA v. Banin, an early victory for the Institute for Justice – the public interest law firm that later litigated Kelo v. City of New London and other landmark property rights cases.
As Boaz notes, this was not the only time that Trump sought to use eminent domain to seize property from unwilling owners. In 1994, he also lobbied the city of Bridgeport to condemn five small businesses so he could build an office and entertainment complex that he absurdly claimed would turn Bridgeport into a “national tourist destination.â€
On this issue, unlike most others, Trump has been consistent over time. When the Supreme Court narrowly upheld “economic development†takings that transfer property to private parties in the 2005 Kelo case, the ruling was widely denounced on both left and right. But Trump defended it stating that “I happen to agree with it 100%. if you have a person living in an area that’s not even necessarily a good area, and … government wants to build a tremendous economic development, where a lot of people are going to be put to work and … create thousands upon thousands of jobs and beautification and lots of other things, I think it happens to be good.†The feral cats who currently occupy the condemned land probably agree. Trump did not merely claim that the decision was legally correct; he argued that it was “good†to give government the power to forcibly displace homeowners and small businesses and transfer their property to influential developers on the theory that doing so might promote “economic development.â€
Both the Kelo case and Trump’s efforts to benefit from eminent domain exemplify a longstanding pattern under which that power is used to take land away from the political weak and transfer it to influential private interests. In the long run, as cities like Detroit have learned, such assaults on property rights undermine development far more than they promote it.
On Eminent domain Cruz said eminent domain made Trump rich. That is a flat of lie.
Ok, moving on how about when he said claimed Mitch McConnell tricked him into voting for TPA and TPP. Did Mitch also trick him into writing an op-ed in support of TPA and TPP? Cruz got serious blow back on this issue then he invented the Mitch tricked me lie to cover his flip flop.
Cruz is probably still trying to get carson to throw his support to him when he drops out.
That ad is one lie after another. One more time since you are having difficulty getting into your head that Trump never made a single dine via eminent domain. The ad claims “it (eminent domain) made him rich”.
Mistah OldSalt, he dead......
I am proud of any help I gave him as he moved into head exploding territory.
Enjoy!
I explained both of them ...you just don’t want to here it.
Obvious photoshop. What are you trying to pull here?
It’s not an AD it’s one of many articles from several sources telling the truth about Trump. He has made millions off of eminent domain. You’re right about one thing...it’s not what made him rich. His daddy making a small million dollar loan and then croaking and leaving a couple of hundred million did that!!!
here = hear
Explaining away a lie does not make it less of a lie. Saying Trump got rich via eminent domain is bearing false wittiness. Something a good Christian would not willingly do. And then there is the lie about Carson is dropping out after Iowa. And the great constitution attorney did not know that being born in Canada meant he had Canadian citizenship? Really?
You are so pathetic!!!

Looks like Teddy didn’t get the forgiveness from Carson like he hoped. Ben is just not feelin the love today. :-)
Please post a link to a story stating Trump acquired property via eminent domain.
Good.
