GOPe Anti-Trump Super Pac Sends Out Smear Flyers Before New Hampshire Primary
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/02/gope-super-pac-sends-out-anti-trump-flyers-before-new-hampshire-primary/
GOP establishment hacks from TrumpQuestions.com sent out thousands of Anti-Trump flyers this week attacking the Republican frontrunner in New Hampshire.
TrumpQuestions.com is an offshoot of Our Principles PAC.
Our Principles PAC is an anti-Donald Trump super PAC founded by Katie Packer, a former aide to Mitt Romney‘s 2012 presidential campaign. The super PAC has sent mailers and aired television ads in Iowa criticizing Trump’s policies. The super PAC operates OurPinciples.com and TrumpQuestions.com.
The GOP hacks are trying to smear Trump as anti-gun in their most recent flyers.

Just a note on eminent domain and Donald Trump. What he was trying to say is true about Atlantic City. And it wasn’t Trump in court trying to take the woman’s property – it was the state of New Jersey. The woman’s relative just sold the property, I believe, and it was for a lot less than she was originally offered.

I would love for him to explain all of this, reasons and why, yet he doesn’t appear to do well in this type of situation in my view. He has openings to do really well, to really hammer home a point, yet I believe he is actually TOO nice of a human, and doesn’t understand this level of deception and distortion. He is not a politician.

Trump was also correct on usually it’s a very good deal for property owners and they don’t always take the property.
My niece and her husband several years ago received $25,000 for a highway that was going to be widened and was going to come 1 foot onto their property, it ended up being a few inches.
A friend had electric lines ran across their rural property, the land was still usable and they received $40,000 and they built a new fence, put in a new gate and locks.
Another friend actually received money for the Keystone Pipeline and they weren’t losing any of their property just a ditch dug and pipe laid and covered back up. They never said how much they received, but said they were shocked at the offer.
Another friend lost her house to a highway, she had just bought it five years before and received 3 times what she paid for it and in addition was given the option of them moving it for her or she could take the money that it would cost to move it. She took the money and they sold the house to house movers for a few hundred dollars.
I understand people who have emotional ties to their home losing it and it’s not perfect, but ultimately Trump is correct we wouldn’t have electric, roads, bridges, etc. without it.
