Trump tells Bush to ‘shush’ and states support for waterboarding
WMUR TV’s anchor and political director, Josh McElveen, asked the question, reports the Washington Post.
“I will say, if politics becomes and the presidency becomes about electing people who have been Congress or in the Senate the longest, we should all rally around Joe Biden”, he replied. “That you got go out and be all in to help people, and we did”.
Trump attempted to argue that he didn’t take the property, failing to mention (as Jeb rightly pointed out) that that was because he lost in court. For our country. Without it you wouldn’t have roads, hospitals, anything. You wouldn’t have schools, you wouldn’t have bridges.
A little background on eminent domain and the Rangers stadium can be seen below from Maria Recio. “And eminent domain is a good thing, not a bad thing”. Instead, he bragged that the Florida legislature passed an amendment strengthening private property rights against eminent domain claims. They get at least fair market value, and if they are smart, they’ll get two or three times the value of their property. Donald Trump was back in the field after skipping the final debate before the Iowa caucus, a move he says contributed to his second-place finish there. Trump then followed up by saying, “He’s a war hero because he was captured”.
A very fired up Jeb Bush brought a New Hampshire crowd to its feet Sunday, when he called Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump a loser. Both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio toed Big Sugar’s line: don’t use eminent domain under any circumstance to solve “environmental” problems like the Everglades or the estuaries and rivers. “That is not public goal, that is downright wrong”, declared Jeb Bush.
The audience applauded loudly to this strike against the billionaire candidate. Kasich is closest to the top in most recent New Hampshire polling, and so may have put himself in a position to catch Rubio. Look, Jeb is the kind of a guy, if he weren’t in government, nobody would give him a job.
Bush also drilled down on the idea that Rubio is not yet ready to be president on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday: “He’s a gifted speaker, he’s a gifted person, but he has nothing in his background to suggest that he could make a tough decision”. The woman ultimately didn’t want to do that.
“Excuse me, Josh!” Trump shouted. “It is part of our constitution, that’s the better approach, that is the conservative approach”, Bush said.
MCELVEEN: Mr. Trump, take 30 seconds.
Donald Trump’s first debate back from his self-imposed break has a markedly different feel. Trump also took umbrage with some of those on stage who had cut campaign ads that he said wrongfully portrayed him a negative light for an eminent-domain matter involving his Atlantic City properties and an elderly woman’s home. When Mr. Bush tried to interject, Mr. Trump was having none of it. “Quiet”, he snapped.
He was booed again shortly after.
“He thinks if he attacks me that’s going to show he’s tough, but every time he attacks me he melts like butter”.
“That’s all of his donors out there and special interests”, Trump said, saying that tickets to the debate hall went to those sympathetic to Bush.
“That’s who it is”. The [Republican National Committee] told us.
We’ll all have to see if insulting the debate audience just days ahead of the New Hampshire primaries proves to be a sound campaign strategy for Trump. “The reason they’re not loving me is, I don’t want their money”, Donald continued. “I don’t want their money, I don’t need their money, and I’m the only one up here that can say that”. I don’t need their money.
“Eminent domain is an absolute necessity for a country”, he said.
But at the first sign of interruption, Trump raised a finger to his lips and shushed him – bringing the first boos.
