The public won’t buy it ? Gimme a break. The American people are infinitely gullible and ignorant. They elected Bush twice, they elected Obama twice, and millions will vote for Hillary despite her decades-long record of crime and corruption. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

Scott Walker so that the racist misogynists on this site can’t make fun of him.

I don’t think she’ a Republican anymore. So far left she surpassed the idea of conservative. So far left she moved into the uniparty.

Sorry, Signalman, but its more likely that Trump will give Cruz (and the GOPee) the middle finger rather than shake his hand, and rightly so!

Odd posting history, yours. Been here since 2000, you say?

They want to run a fourth anchor baby?! And here I thought three ineligible candidates in one election cycle was a record.

This sentence is beyond laughable.

Has the GOPe run out of Article II, Sec 1. clause 5 natural born citizens? They are now worse than the RATS!!! Cruz, Rubio, Jindahl, now Hayley??

Curious isn't it DMZFrank. For anyone not impressed by the remarkable ignorance or avoidance of our Supreme Court and Constitution, read at least the conclusion of the famous and much misinterpreted case Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.s. 649, (1898). Wong Kim Ark is one of the most circuitous decisions this writer has read, so don't be discouraged.

The gist of the case is that like Haley, Wong Kim was born in the U.S., in San Francisco, to parents who lived under U.S. jurisdiction, but were not citizens. Wong Kim was made a "citizen at birth", but not a natural born citizen. Justice Gray cited Minor v. Happerstt, so there was no doubt about the definition of natural born citizens: "It was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners." (Don't be confused by the "aliens or foreigners" comment; before the 14th Amendment, the only "uniform" citizens defined by the definition were natural born citizens. The time context of Minor v. Happersett was pre-14th amendment. If anyone not natural born was a foreigner or alien.)

Thus Nikki Haley, along with Cruz, Rubio, and Jindal, is a naturalized citizen. This array of naturalized citizens cannot be an accident. Why the GOPe would employ this strategy is worth some thought. All this writer can think of, presuming the grand villain George Soros doesn't also control the GOP (Soros did contribute to McCain's defense fund during the 2002-2007 period when Democrats had charged McCain, whose birth was not on sovereign U.S. territory, with election fraud) is that GOPe owns Congress this time and would have the opportunity to disenfranchise voters and pick whomever they control who is a natural born citizen - not really so difficult since most US citizens are still natural born.
