Do you suppose CRuz listed his Canadian citizenship on his Senate filing papers?

This Texan does not recall cRuz running as a dual citizen. I wouldn’t have supported him, knowing that.

Only problem is Trump is maybe 20% on the conservative side.

...”Trump is overestimating his charm—and also underestimating the sober spiritual judgment of real Christians.”.......

Even so if Trump wins as the Republican Candidate then is it then true any other vote is actually a vote against Trump and therefore for Hillary.

Like it or not their are two parties....So it would certainly appear two winners to choose from. Either Trump or Hillary.....anyone else voting for would not be counted as a vote for the President as their are simply two parties and two winners...????

Cruz comes through like a champ — TPA, Corker bill, H-1B visas, more legal immigration. Ted is their boy.

There is one thing on your list that I agree with. The TPA thing I do not agree with Cruz's vote.

The Corker bill was a last ditch deal that Cruz did not want (wasn't tough enough) and Cruz only voted for it because it least it might hold up Obama for a few days. Even Sessions bit his tongue and voted for it. Sometimes you just gotta make the best of what is in front of you. Only one republican voted against it.

H-1B was part of the poison pill package to try sweeten the lot (take the bait). Sessions talks about this also.

Now since you want to sling fecal matter, own up to Trump's past which is a several big stinking piles of flip flops and rotate it with some ethanol.

Hated? Well that what the powers want us to believe anyway. Everything that comes out of f&cking DC is theater. Nothing is as it seems.

At the end of the day, GOPe stick together. They will back Cruz before they back the true outsider, Trump.

“The Corker bill was a last ditch deal that Cruz did not want (wasn’t tough enough) and Cruz only voted for it because it least it might hold up Obama for a few days.”

“wasn’t tough enough”???? It was designed to implement Obama’s Iranian agreement.

No, his vote did not hold up Obama for a few days. The Corker bill was written by the White House to implement the Iranian agreement.

“Only one republican voted against it.”

Senator Cotton of Arkansas. He did not buckle to Obama wishes.

“H-1B was part of the poison pill package to try sweeten the lot (take the bait).”

No, was separate from the bill, and the poison pill thing is nonsense anyway.

“Sessions talks about this also.”

Did you happen to notice who Sessions endorsed?

“Now since you want to sling fecal matter”

Since when has VOTING become fecal matter for you. Is that what you call facts you don’t have the guts to face?

Trump has never been an elected official affecting government policy.

Sec. of States in all 50 have ruled Cruz a citizen. Not sure if you've had an opportunity to glance at the U.S. Constitution, particularly Article-II Section I.

If you can find clarity as to Natural born citizen, I'll buy you a steak dinner. Nowhere in the constitution does it describe what constitutes “natural born”.

Is it two U.S. citizen parents...or one? Is it born on American soil or anywhere in the world to one or two American citizen parents? The U.S. supreme court has refused several times to adjudicate the Natural born clause in the constitution. Furthermore, it has always been understood in government circles, if your mom or dad or both mom and dad are U.S. citizens at the time of ones birth, regardless of where you are born, you are a natural born citizen. It's just the way it is. Ain't gonna change, that is unless the supreme court finally puts it to rest.

Until then, Ted Cruz is eligible to become president. Another fact that just can't be altered no matter how one may feel personally.

The GOPe started today with Linda Graham supporting Cruz. The next step is for Mitt to help clear the way by blasting Trump. The wheels are in motion for Cruz. Rubio has shown he cannot do it.

I have always wondered about the Republicans (like Lindsay Graham) that let Bill Clinton off the hook by exclusively focusing on Lewinsky in the impeachment hearings and ignoring real crimes.

Like . . . was there some kind of FIX in, by the globalists, that needed to look serious to us flyover peeps about going after the father of NAFTA when he literally got caught with his pants down?

That’s not what I’d asked. I never mentioned his US citizenship.

I asked ...

Do you suppose cRuz listed his Cruznadian citizenship on his Senate filing papers?

And....

I don’t recall him running as a dual citizen and that THIS Texan wouldn’t have supported him, if I’d known about that.

Again, Ted Cruz is not responsible for every comment made by every politcain. Is Ted Cruz a politician...sure. Is he of the ilk of Lindsey Graham..no, I don’t believe that for a minute.

Ted Cruz is my senator. He’z done a great job and has kept his word to the citizens of Texas.

Are you referring to Ted Cruz running for president as a dual citizen of Canada/U.S.? Sorry, need clarity in your question.

Did the GOPe congress pass Cruz’s amendment to it? Nope.

Cruz, Toomey file amendment to give Congress more power over Obama’s Iran deal

http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?id=2304&p=press_release

Don’t blame the entire Republican Senate. Blame McConnell (BTW...who Trump supported in 2014). So yes, Trump did have a direct roll in this (so yes Trump affect government policy by helping elect people including Hillary).

No...we knew about his dual/Canadian citizenship when he announced (after only being in the Senate less than one full term) for Pres.

I’m talking about his filing papers for his TX Senate run.

One doesn't exactly call it support when Graham elaborates that said person (Cruz) makes you sick, but not as sick as Trump. If that is love, I had rather be lonely.

Article I, Section III of the U.S. Constitution subscribes a person be a citizen of the U.S. for 9 years prior to running for the senate.

It sayz absolutely nothing in regards to dual citizenship. Ted Cruz is a natural born U.S. citizen. Holding dual citizenship is not an issue.

Look, I'm a strict constitutionalists. The U.S. constitution is to be read literally, not figuratively. It is not a living, breathing document as some progressives would have folks believe...speaking of our supposed constitutional scholar president, Barack H. Obama.

Many current/former Jewish leaders in the house and senate hold dual citizenship with Israel. TO THIS DAY. It's never an issue until....oh lets say...election time, when someone attempts to cast doubt in the minds of voters.
