Some good people falling for this POS because he shows guts on one hot button issue and people are sick of the pussies in power. As a developer? -- OK As an entertainment mogul? -- not to my taste, but still OK As a politician? -- We have enough fascism with the Democrats already. Remember When Donald Trump Tried to Bulldoze an Elderly Widow's Home to Build a Limo Parking Lot? Does it get worse than this? Donald Trump is leading the GOP primary polls with 24 percent. Trump, as Reason 's Matt Welch put it, may be a "vulgar anti-intellect who cannot string a coherent paragraph together." But he's also a consummate bully and crony capitalist who has never been shy about using government to coerce people who get in his way. In 1994, Trump got Atlantic City to condemn Vera Coking's home so that he could build limo parking for his Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. The Institute for Justice took on Trump in one of its first big eminent domain cases: Vera Coking, an elderly widow from Atlantic City, knows firsthand the power of unaccountable government agencies. The Institute for Justice successfully defended Vera against the condemnation of her home by a State agency that sought to take her property and transfer it — at a bargain-basement price — to another private individual: Donald Trump. Trump convinced the State agency to use its “eminent domain” power to take Vera’s home so he could construct a limousine parking lot for his customers — hardly a public purpose. And unfortunately, cases in which government agencies act not as protectors of constitutionally guaranteed rights, but instead as agents for powerful, private interests, have become all too common. Thanks to IJ, she was able to beat Trump and the city government and win the right to keep her property. Coking moved to a retirement home in 2010, having lived almost 50 years in her Atlantic City home. Coking's grandson finally sold the house in July 2014; less than two months later, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino closed for lack of business.

Stan That is exactly what happened. I was working a precinct for the GOP---people Republicans and Independents were saying no to Clinton. There was nothing that could be done----- I agreed with everyone on Perot -----all I could do was to keep the Republican flag waving as Perot took the majority of the Republican vote in our precinct and Clinton came in at 43%. . The controllers in the GOP are not the same as when Clinton ran and Perot ran On the local level people were angry but not angry enough. The Perot movement was too late to win. To Donald Trumps credit-----he has come in early in the campaign. Voters, people of America are angry. Donald Trump is a leader-----he has leadership and organizational skills. In addition to those skills----------I sense he will have a cabinet that understands the issues we face in the world and America. mj
