Why Bernie Sanders Could Easily Beat Donald Trump
Bernie Sanders could beat Donald Trump handily. Young people are programmed for "fairness". Bernie is an honest believer in Socialism; Trump is an honest believer in Eminent Domain. Read this article to see how Trump will look against Bernie Sanders. Moreover, when Trump loses to Sanders, the Republican Party is finished. And If Trumps wins you will wish the Republican Party was finished. Tyrannies are almost always born when an oppressed group takes power under a strong man. Ted Cruz's father knows exactly how it happens. He lived it.
Donald Trump Thinks Kelo-Style Eminent Domain is 'a wonderful thing'
In Fox News interview, GOP frontrunner once again shows contempt for individual rights

I know many good people like Donald Trump. I ask that you look at what motivates a candidate and how they value the truth. Do you own investigation, don't rely on anyone else. This is your last chance to get this right. If Bernie or Hillary and Trump are the nominees, get the hell out of this country.
Baier: Bernie Sanders, when the decision came out, he said, he spoke out against the Kelo case, he said, "The result of this decision will be that working families and poor people will see their property turned over to corporate interests and wealthy developers."
Trump: It's not right! It's not right. Look, they get, the money—you know the way they talk, people would say "Oh, it's turned over." It's turned over for four or five, six, 10 times sometimes what it's worth! People pay them a fortune. But sometimes you have people that want to hold out just for the—most of the time, I will say, I've done a lot of outparcels, I call them outparcels. Most of the time, they just want money, okay? It's very rarely that they say "I love my house. I love my house. It's the greatest thing ever." Because these people can go buy a house now that's five times bigger, in a better location. So eminent domain, when it comes to jobs, roads, the public good, I think it's a wonderful thing, I'll be honest with you. And remember, you're not taking property, you know, the way you asked the question, the way other people—you're paying a fortune for that property. Those people can move two blocks away into a much nicer house.
Baier: I know, but if they don't want to sell....
Trump: Well, look, I mean, if they don't want to sell, I feel—
Baier: But we can move on....
Trump: I think it's a great subject. It's a very interesting subject. I fully understand the conservative approach. But I don't think it was explained to most conservatives.
In Trump's beloved Kelo case, you may recall, the thing called "economic development" didn't actually lead to any, and the working-class homeowner really did love the house that was bulldozed by the government at the behest of a wealthy developer.
Donald Trump’s history of eminent domain abuse
By Ilya Somin August 19, 2015
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.

Donald Trump’s eminent domain empire
by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011
Don’t be fooled by The Donald. Take it from one who knows: I’m a South Jersey gal who was raised on the outskirts of Atlantic City in the looming shadow of Trump’s towers. All through my childhood, casino developers and government bureaucrats joined hands, raised taxes and made dazzling promises of urban renewal. Then we wised up to the eminent-domain thievery championed by our hometown faux free-marketeers.
Donald Trump and Eminent Domain

I wrote earlier this week that voters who are expressing a preference for Trump, Carson and Fiorina are committing a critical error in their thinking – they are forgetting that every candidate runs as an outsider their first election, and that 95% of those candidates eventually become corrupted by the lure of power. I argued then that the relevant test is how a candidate stands up to the actual pressure of elected office, and whether they remain an outsider or become a crony capitalist like most of the other “outsiders” who come down the pipe.
Fortunately, with respect to Donald Trump, we don’t have to wonder whether he would abuse power for the benefit of himself and his friends once he assumes office (if he is elected). We have a pretty good pile of evidence already indicating that he would. Trump is in the rare position (as a candidate) that he has wielded enough influence as a private citizen to already create government abuses of power in his favor, despite having never held office.
