You’re not going to get him. He’s solid.  (Wrong on Kelo, but solid.)

  1. He was good right up until the Kelo stuff, and that’s a hard one to get over. His comment about Bush and 9-11 didn’t bother me in the least until tight after the interview. He posted this to his FB page:

    “Jeb, why did your brother attack and destabalize the Middle East by attacking Iraq when there were no weapons of mass destruction? Bad info?”

    He is taking a beating in the comments section, as he should. He just double downed on stupid!

  2. I don’t have any problem with his answer on kelo — because he’s right about it. There are an incredible number of towns and cities that are hurting economically because they have lost every single source of local, living-wage jobs. What he is talking about are people called “hold outs”. They usually are sitting on a below-average piece of property and the only time in their lives they’re going to get anything out of a sale is if a business wants their land for building or expansion. Then they overplay their hand and play hardball for as much money as they can get, or they just dig in and say to hell with the rest of their community by hanging on to a piece of otherwise worthless property just because they can. I have no use for someone who is that stubborn for no real reason and would sacrifice something of real value to their community because of it. That’s where Trump is coming from and as un-PC from a constitutional standpoint as it may sound, I agree with him. Lord knows the gov’t owns thousands of acres of once-private land and uses it all the time for “economic development.” So what’s the difference?

  3. As a subject of several “eminent domain” attempts, I know first hand what a horrible process it is! “Best Use” policies for land use are illegal in my state, as well they should be. Currently I have land very near a planed new highway clover leaf, and if politicians think my property is better used as a gas station or mickey dees instead of residential use because it brings in more tax revenue and creates jobs do you think they should just get it for tax value? No, no, no! Kelo was absolutely wrong!

  4. That’s not what I (nor I think Trump) is talking about at all. Does your property *prevent* the building of a road or something? It doesn’t sound like it.

    It comes down to this for me: I honestly do not care about kelo. I will care about kelo when our borders are closed to illegal aliens and my fellow citizens aren’t afraid of going out at night or are always remembering to take their guns with them for self-protection. I will care about it when our national debt is no longer climbing toward 20 trillions and when the EPA and DoEducation are history. I’ll care about stuff like kelo when I hear that we are not taking in several hundred thousand muslim “migrants”. Sorry, Menderman, I’m not in your position and I can imagine you’re worried about it, but in the big scheme of things I have to say there are bigger fish to fry. Kelo is not even close to being a fly in the Trump ointment. He sure as heck didn’t write the dang law!

  5. I didn’t see anything wrong in the answers Trump gave. I was waiting for a slip up and it didn’t happen. Chris Wallace’s mouth reminds me someone who always has a smirky smile on their face. He wasn’t connecting with Trump that’s for sure.

  7. I’m at a loss to understand why, when answering several questions with ,”I’m want to be unpredictable”, this passes as savvy, informed or astute. “Hey Donald, how are you going to reduce the national debt, get people back to work, reduce the welfare roles, fight radical Islam, or increase America’s standing in the world?”
    “Well, Chris, I’m going to be unpredictable”, wow, absolutely Churchillian.

    His view on Kelo is dead wrong. I wonder how he would feel if a Chick fil A booted his mom out of her house that she owned for the last 50 years, just because it would create some jobs and increase the tax base.

    And his lame response about his illegal immigration policy would have prevented 9-11 is just stupid. The highjackers all had visas issued thru the State Dept.

    I have always thought Trump clueless. Yes, he is not a politician, but can’t we raise the bar a bit higher than that?

  9. Abigail, you know I love you sweetie, but we need to be aware on 25 fronts. If any amendment is challenged, it must be confronted with harsh and direct confrontation. You should care about Kelo. If you take your eyes off the big picture for a few key issues, when you look back, what you thought you had is no longer there. Read into Kelo to see what a travesty it is.

  10. Rich, I’m sure you didn’t mean Trump was clueless as a businessman. When it comes to that, he’s anything but clueless. But everything else you say is pretty much spot on. I would love to believe in Trump, but deep down inside I’m afraid he might be playing a game, acting outrageous and trying to get as much attention as he can before he bails out like he has done before. And what if he gets elected? Is he going to behave the same way as now, running around and insulting people and acting like he’s the boss of everything? That may work in business, but it doesn’t work that way in government. There are three branches of government, of which the President is only one. I wouldn’t want Trump or anyone else to be totally in charge. Obama’s already tried it, and we all know how that worked out.

  11. You can’t get different results when you continue to do the same thing. Don’t be afraid. We need a big swing. A big change. There’s a reason he wants to be elusive and I’m shocked you two don’t get it. Yebs already trying to take credit for one of his ideas.

  12. I honestly do know that you love me, Menderman. And I know, too, that for those of us up against certain laws that affect us personally, it’s all important. All of it. But, we absolutely need to circle the wagons around a candidate who, IMHO (and the rest of the people who will be voting in IA, NH, SC) that right now Trump is he. And any talk right now of schism over what can only be called unimportant to most voters can only give the Trump bashers traction in an election that everyone knows will shape this country for who knows how many generations. And if I had to give up my land in order to fight for those to come, I would in a NY minute. Now, I’m not saying it’s selfish for anyone else to feel differently, but that’s how back on our heels we are. If Hillary gets the presidency — or sanders — our goose is cooked and then we can comment about kelo til we’re blue in the face.

    So my argument isn’t really for or against kelo (and I read the decision a while back); I get the flap over it. I do. My panic is that despite your caution to look at and consider 25 fronts, they are not all equal and we could win the battle and lose the war. And make no mistake, we are engaged in a war against the left and their rino quislings. They are on high alert for anything, anything that will develop into a schism among conservatives and all roads lead to bush. I know a popular conservative blog where, almost to a person, they say they will sit it out if Trump is the candidate. They don’t necessarily have a clear favorite but they know they don’t like Trump. From what I can tell, knowing the blog owner and their regulars, their reasons are all wrapped up in an annoying self-conscious need to feel erudite and to look down upon The Donald as a ham-fisted, almost rube-ish boor. It’s so silly. Do they think he won his fortune in the lotto, or what?

  14. Brad — I totally get it and agree w/you. One of his main strengths is what he calls being unpredictable. And in the world of deals — and, really, what isn’t a deal? — it’s a major strength.

  16. Enough with the ‘Kelo’….I don’t agree with it Kelo, but the gubmint has been scooping up land under ’eminent domain’ for over a century & selling it to commercial interests…..happened to my family. My great-grandfather had a farm, FDR comes along w/ one of his ‘work projects’, throws the whole family off the farm (three generations) for tax value….fifty years later sells to the highest commercial bidder……. no ‘Kelo’ in sight……tough shit, peasants ‘workers’

  17. Vietvet, No, I did not mean he is clueless as a businessman, the results speak for themselves. But I am still waiting for sycophants like Bad_Brad to tell me how exactly he is going to be a problem fixer besides some silly ,”I’m going to be unpredictable”, what the hell does that even mean?. Bad_Brad wants a big change, Bernie Sanders will give us big change, but not the kind I want.

    I really wanted to jump on the Trump band wagon. He is not a politician, has his own money so he does not have to whore himself out to the highest bidder, and he does not give a damn what other people think of him, what’s not to like.?Until it comes to specifics, and he doesn’t have dick when it comes to real solutions, just nebulous stuff like ,”Everybody loves me, hispanics, the military, even Putin, I can make deals and will make America great again”. OK, how exactly is he going to do that? Nobody knows, least of all him.

  19. Have you actually listened to what he’s been saying? I don’t think so. So if he renogotiates our trade deals just to mirror our trading “Pardners” and builds his wall we win big. I’m really curious what some of you people do for a living.

  21. Rich go to his web site and read his tax plan, his 2nd amendment stance, what he will do about immigration, and last of all listen to his speeches, its all there. He’s the real deal. Trump wants what is best for all of us, not just the elite that now run things. I don’t think you have spent any time listening to him at all, just sound bites. Go Trump.

  23. There’s a couple people here I know right payroll checks. My self, Chief, Abigail, maybe Mr. Pinko. I heard a rumor he’s a Vet. I could be dead wrong on that. My point being the people I know here that hire other people are 200%!behind a Trump. We are tired of not being able to compete due to Federal regs or trade bull shit. Let’s bring that work back home.

  26. Hah! yourself. I never once mentioned the Nazis, did I? In actuality I was referring to Hindenburg. He wasn’t a Nazi, but he dissolved the German Parliament twice in 1932, further destabilizing an already fragile democracy.

    Please try not to jump to conclusions.

    🙂

  28. Do you Trump lovers really believe that he is going to build an impregnable fence across the entire span of the Mexican border………then have Mexico pay for it? Does that sound at all rational to you?

    Bad_Brad wonders what some of us detractors do for a living. For myself I am retired (at 50) self made multimillionaire through the stock market and real estate (but nothing even close to Trump rich) so yes, taxes are important to me. But what is more important is how the next president is going to; address the national debt, get people off welfare roles and back to work, getting government interference out of business and allow the free markets to flourish, protect my civil liberties (including my right to own a gun if I want), and increase America’s standing in the world. I am still waiting for you guys to tell me how Trump is gong to do any of that.

    Someone brought up his tax plan, does it not bother any of you that almost 50% of the population will still not pay any income taxes, shouldn’t everyone earning capital pay something into the system, to have some skin in the game?

    Bad_Brad thinks being a successful CEO should segway into success as president. Being the boss of a company, you get to run it the way you want, not so as president, where power is shared with 2 other branches of government. He won’t get any treaties or trade agreements passed without congressional cooperation, something a CEO never has to worry about.

    There was an article in this week’s Barons about how years ago Trump went after some low level analyst over a bad rating on one of his hotels. The analyst was right and Trump later had to file for bankruptcy (1 of 4 bankruptcies he filed), but in the process he trashed the guys reputation and got him fired, all for just doing his job (and being right in the process). We already have a petulant thin skinned crybaby in the White House, do we really need another one?
