Dear Ted,

If you're serious about defending the Constitution, would you as President, be willing to forego your own prestige and power and that of your fellow government colleagues in favor of America, the American People, and the Constitution by dismantling the 80% + portion of the federal government that is unconstitutional including most of your cabinet and the hideous so-called "Administrative State" resulting in the laying off of hundreds of thousands of government officials, bureaucratic heads, and workers?

You would be hated by everyone except those who value true political freedom, which the Constitution guarantees, and posterity which would always hold a special place for one who sacrificed his own benefit for the sake of future generations. You would also live and leave this world in peace knowing you have been true to your calling, to yourself, and to your God. And that's all that really matters.

Love to hear back from you.

God bless,

Jim Newell

If only we could combine the best of Cruz and Trump and keep the establishment from cheating at the voting booth.

Cruz uses “Constitution” as a hypnotic trigger word. He simply says “Constitution” and his supporters fall into a swoon.

Cruz:

“I fought the United Nations and WON defending U.S. sovereignty. As President, I’ll defend our Constitution!”

But as senator, he voted for the Obama agenda:

TPA which turns American sovereignty over to an international cartel

And the Corker bill, which I could elaborate on, but he does such as good job at condemning it himself.

******************************************************************************
Ted Cruz is already “hated by everyone except those who value true political freedom, which the Constitution guarantees, and posterity which would always hold a special place for one who sacrificed his own benefit for the sake of future generations”. And those “non-haters of Cruz” will make up the majority of the electorate this year, IMHO.

Cruz has already shown he is willing to face those who are feeding from the taxpayers’ trough and tell them that the free goodies will be ending under his watch. An example of this is his telling Iowa voters that he would phase out the ethanol “mandates/subsidies” and free up the free market.

Trump’s reaction when facing Iowa voters on the same ethanol issue? -— He pandered and essentially said...THE PARTY CONTINUES.

You can’t defend the Constitution as President if you cheat to get there.

I am appalled that so many on this site are falling in with Ginsburg when it comes to Cruz just so he can get elected. Totally forgetting that it opens the door to all kinds of scenarios and jihadists.

Insert the name Charles Manson with Cruz birth details. You may think the voters would never vote for a Charles Manson type.

Obambi ain’t far off.

Exactly. When Cruz is in campaign conservative mode I tune out. In one ear and out the other. He’s got a record as U. S. Senator and you’re right. It’s not pretty on globalist issues like “free” trade & the broken H-1B program. Sadly, many are fooled by his Tony worthy beltway theater performances that accomplish nothing save covering Cruz’s Anti-American pro-globalist agenda.

May be so but I don’t have much faith in any politician doing anything more than what
it takes to keep him/her working at the gov’t trough.

Very well said.

So many of delusional Conservatives, especially on this forum, think that the key to election success is the strongest defender of the Constitution.

Maybe 200 years ago, but not today.

Most people don't know a damned thing about the Constitution or even care.

They are trying to pay their bills working crappy dead end jobs in a politically correct hostile work environment. Then they drive home past 3 trailer parks filled with Mexicans.

That's what people care about.

I'm not saying the Constitution is unimportant, but it shouldn't be in your sales pitch at every opportunity.

I wish people would understand that.

No you won’t when you’ll be violating it by your very presence in the White House.

Agree!

If you really want a nightmare, insert the name Ollie Ackbar with Cruz birth/family details.

I want to be clear:

Ginsburg believes that you don’t need Jus Soli. Now, I haven’t checked to see if Ginsburg’s grandson has two citizen parents. I do know that she thinks her grandson born in France can run for POTUS.

SO all of these Freepers are siding with that side of SCOTUS. Not Scalia’s side who has indicated he might rule in favor of Jus Soli.

Queen Noor’s son may be able to run for POTUS in a few years.

Depends on if she gave up her citizenship and there is mixed info on that.

Well said. A glance at the headlines makes this apparent. It's the specious reason often given by The Establishment as to why he can't win.

Thanks Ted, the Constitution will look great surrounded by the never ending flood of 5 billion foreigners.

If Queen Noor is a citizen of the U.S. her son could run for POTUS in a few years.

There fixed it.
