Unbelievable. These people are as clueless on the Constitution and their Government structure as Bernie supporters. They should join forces as the are two of a kind.

I mourn for our Country where Government was a required class to graduate both college and high school. We are truly done.

Oh, I hear your pain... most especially, when a certain Harvard Law School grad requires a constitutional exemption to hold the office of president.

Mitch McConnell: Why no, the Senate won’t pass a resolution affirming Cruz’s eligibility like it did for McCain

He doesn’t need McConnell to give him an exemption as precedent has been set. I don’t like it either, but it is what it is.

So you agree that Cruz is not eligible and subverts the Constitution? IF Cruz is eligible so will some of Obama and lying Ryan's Syrian refugees... We have become a stupid people.

Nothing was manipulated in Colorado. Trump didn’t even campaign there. He didn’t lose because the system was rigged, he lost because he didn’t try to win.

Darlin’ this is much more important than Cruz and the systematic cheating predates this election cycle. Do you defend the Colorado republican party for Romney, as well? What did Rick do wrong, I suspect he campaigned real hard!!

Quit defending a crooked system. It’s hypocritical and unethical for Conservatives! Makes us look much worse than democrats.

COLORADO is for CHEATERS!

In 2012, 66,000 CO Republicans voted.

Rick Santorum beat Mitt Romney with over 6% of the vote.

Rick got only 6 delegates.

Romney took 28 delegates

Colorado’s good at cheatin’

Most the folks~ too high to notice.

Most of us learned in Little League baseball that you can’t win if you don’t show up for the game. But there are some snowflakes who will never learn. Darlin’.

At least 11 times during my lifetime, Congress has unsuccessfully sought to amend the Constitution and redefine the NBC clause to include foreign born citizens.

Some Bills proposed 15 yrs or 20 yrs of citizenship as a requirement. All Bills have not passed. All of these 11 separate Congresses would have known that Ted does not qualify. This Congress understands that as well.

Several states (13) have either proposed or passed legislation that will prohibit candidates that are not NBC from existing on the general election ballot. Typically the SOS is requiring the examination of an original state certified BC.

Alberta is not one of the 50 states! Oh Canada!

I’ll post the Texas bill from 2011 later today.

Oh, goody. Trump supporters emulating the BLM movement.

Big difference when you're right - but so many "Cruz or Lose"ers can't seem to grasp that as they emulate the liberal smear machine they have previously claimed to detest.

Cheating is OK with you, as long as it’s for Cheatin’ Ted.

Keep it up Cheaters, every time you pull this crap Trump poll numbers move up!

From the state convention in Colorado Springs:

“It’s chaos. It’s a cluster #@@#. It’s the ultimate insider’s game,” said Josh Penry, a GOP operative in Denver who chaired Marco Rubio’s campaign in Colorado. “There are so many delegates in play.”......

......roughly 6,000 party activists in Colorado Springs, where 27 of the state’s 34 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be elected.”
So out of a 1,000,000 registered voters, 6,000 party activists chose 27 party delegates after viewing each of them on stage for 10 seconds!

.06 % of the voters chose the delegates.

SIX-TENTHS OF A PERCENTAGE OF THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN VOTERS GOT TO CHOOSE THE DELEGATES.

Perhaps the entire CO delegation will be unseated
Colorado GOP==Cook County DNC==Colorado GOP==Cook County DNC

Your Ted, heck of a nice guy, is unelectable right now and in November.

Take a look at the exit polling, particularly in The South.

He came in between 2nd-4th place among those who consider themselves Very Conservative and most Evangelical. Those results are mirrored in the Monmouth polling for upstate NY.

He would stand a strong chance of losing 1-2 reliably red Southern states in the GE.

And there is no way he could win Florida and capture the 29 EV.
1. He was 500,000 plus votes behind Trump in FL.
2. Cruz did not win in the areas where he targeted & campaigned. The votes were not lost to Rubio, he lost all that territory to Trump.
3. He did not win a single county in the entire state of FL.
4. He lacks appeal for millions of New Englanders and NY that live in FL.
5. Florida has more EV than 7-8 other states combined-ya gotta win it.

Nationwide he has no crossover appeal for Independents or Democrats to swing PA or OH or VA. Name a VA county that Cruz has won.

Our party needs the Indie votes and crossover Dem votes to overcome the opposition.

Your Ted is left in the roll of spoiler, with an unknown promised reward. And you can bet if the GOP props him up that the DNC and Wasserman-Schultz will attack him with lawsuits due to his lack of eligibility. But don’t let me dissuade you from voting your conscious.

SPAM, huh. Olde

Eat SPAM
& digest it.

The Free Republic Boss-JR speaks the truth:

-
“Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe) in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.

Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters. And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency if he helps them block Trump? Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

The Colorado Disaster has been a disaster for Cruz. Monday to Friday he dropped 5.5% and Trump gained 5.8% in the Reuters poll which is always conveniently ignored by our friends at RCP. Apparently nobody listened to the lectures from Limbaugh Levin and Stabby The Clown about how Colorado was fair and honest and it gave Slick Teddie the momentum in this race. Cruz gets mathematically eliminated on Tuesday then what? Does he go full Romney errand boy to give GOPe a contested convention so they can pick another loser?

Anyone who did know or care, say, Ted Cruz and his people, could have played by the rules and gotten the delegates.

Right. According to the rules change in August, the delegates were supposed to be unbound going in to the national convention in July. Some have said that the rules change was intentionally written so as to lock Trump out. Then, suddenly, there was a state convention binding the delegates? And only the Cruz campaign was apparently informed of it with enough time to respond?

Sorry, but when the process is highly irregular, it looks bad for all concerned. If you support winning at any cost, you don't look any better than your candidate.

Cruz is trying to paint himself as the most conservative candidate. Don't his "ends justify the means" tactics make you doubt his supposed conservatism even a tiny bit? Any psychopath can lie and say exactly what you want to hear, but you can know who he is by watching his actions. Cruz's tactics are worthy of any sleazeball Democrat lawyer candidate. I, for one, do not see a conservative when I see Cruz.
