At least one Bush backer, Nevada assemblyman David Gardner, has publicly switched his endorsement to Rubio. ABC co-moderator Josh McElveen pressed real estate tycoon Donald Trump on eminent domain, which defined by International Business Times as a situation where governments seize private property to make way for public development projects. The former Florida governor cited Sen. Trump tried to buy Coking’s boarding house in Atlantic City in the 1990’s to tear it down and use the land for his Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

Trump interjected, “Jeb wants to be a tough guy tonight”.

“But he’s not a bragger – we don’t allow that – but he’s decent and honest”, she said.

Bush, also appeared in a new ad on Friday praising Jeb as having “a good heart and a strong backbone” and being able to unite the country. Bush regularly boasts that he’s the only candidate willing to take Trump head-on, though other candidates, especially Ted Cruz, have started mounting attacks as well. “Do you see eminent domain as an appropriate tool to get that project done?” he asked, pointing to Trump’s past business endeavors and his support for its use for the Keystone XL Pipeline. You know who has the tickets for the – I’m talking about, to the television audience?
