This won’t surprise Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid or GOP old bull Sen. John McCain -- the largest chunk of the Republican Party is now very conservative.
According to a new PPP poll, which has Sen. Ted Cruz the top choice for the 2016 Republican nomination, those who describe themselves as “very conservative” make up 39 percent of the splintered party. Add in those who consider themselves “somewhat conservative,” and the right-leaning voters comprise 76 percent of the party.
In the new poll of 743 Republican primary voters, 1 percent called themselves “very liberal,” 4 percent “somewhat liberal,” and just 18 percent as “moderate.”
Among the conservative voters, Cruz is the leading choice for the GOP nomination. He won 34 percent of that group. But he also shows remarkable crossover as 32 percent of the “very liberal” crowd also prefer him.

Well, that reply's a bit too cryptic for me to decode, but I do know that Jim has pretty much put the kibosh on talk about eligibility. If that's what you're referring to, it's not a secret.
Cruz isn’t a NBC so I don’t see him running for president.
Some snakes are sneaking in, thinking the ground safe.
I’ve heard her say on Hannity several times that she is DONE with the corpulent fellow. She has warmed very much to Cruz, it seems, though she USED to claim (wrongly) that he is ineligible for POTUS. Bob
Same as it's ever been around here. It's why God made Viking Kitties :-)
A MAN’S MAN ...A MANLY MAN ..A REAL MAN....NOT A DEMOCRAT I.E.
Republican Party? GOP?
Spit!
Plus Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father. That’s basically the same circumstances as Obama. It is just not a good idea to run him even though he would make an excellent president. I honestly believe Hillary is going to win either way in 2016.
It is our duty to show up and support Ted Cruz! We’ve had two leftist RINOs in a row. I can’t take another and the GOP-e will be busy pushing leftist RINO Chris Christie.
Cruz in 2016!
Now the problem is will conservatives eat each other alive again in 2016?
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
You really don’t have a clue about the issue you try to insert on this thread.
Been hashed, rehashed and re-rehashed. Ad nauseum, ad infinitim.
You’re wrong.
Jim Robinson says so.
Mark Levin says so.
Ted Cruz says so.
The majority of legal scholarship says so.
The Constitution does not say you are right.
It does not define NBC.
Going elsewhere for that definition and looking for statutory laws or court decisions gets you to this -
Cruz is a NBC under the statutory laws of his birth year, and no court ever ruled otherwise on the issue. Under the relevant statutes, the child born to a citizen parent even if over a boundary line at time of birth is a natural born citizen.
No, statutorily it does not have to be two parents. That is spelled out clearly. No, it does not have to be within the U.S. border, likewise.
I’m not going over this again. Several FReeper researchers and JR himself have posted relevant documentation many dozens of times.
We don’t know where Obama was born. We know Ted was born in Canada. We know who his parents are. We know his citizen mother was older than the statutory age requirement. We don’t even know who Obama’s parents are. Purportedly the woman who gave birth to him was Ann Dunham, an American citizen. Purportedly it was in Hawaii. But we don’t know because of so many doubtful circumstances.
Here’s something we do know. The statute stated back then that Ms. Dunham needed to have been at least 18 yrs old to qualify under her statutory requirement and she was several months short of that.
You might as well give it a rest. Birtherism isn’t going to decide anything. And if you’re going to make an issue of birtherism, making short, cryptic, ill-informed statements on a thread about Cruz’s popularity and presidential candidate polling, isn’t going to cut it.
Attacking people, claiming they don’t care about the Constitution, won’t either.
That ship has sailed.
Where have you been on this subject?
Cruz says he IS a natural born citizen, and he is vastly, overwhelmingly supported in that assertion.
He has no reason to “not run” - not your reason or any other that I know of.
I wasn’t claiming he wasn’t a natural born citizen. What I’m saying is that the left is really going to be pushing the fact that we were all over Obama for his citizenship, and then here we are with a candidate under similar circumstances. You know the left is going to be drilling that point hard.
Overall the PPP poll shows Cruz leading with 20% to Rand at 17%, Jabba the Governor at 14%, Jeb at 11%, Rubs and Ryan tied at 10%, Santorum and Walker bringing up the rear with 3% each. I think you need a microscope to see Pete King’s support.
King/Portman 2016! (as long as they stay in the presidential primary long enough to humiliate themselves and past the deadline for filing for re-election to Congress)
Dual citizenship may pose problem if Ted Cruz seeks presidency
I guess Cruz is as American as Obama. Heck, maybe Putin will run.
Supporters of Cruz need to get out stickers RIGHT NOW about him running in 2016 - imagine if we got Presidential stickers on millions of cars NOW? And if the media goes after him, turn the liberal mantra on themselves - oh, the liberals hate the HISPANIC candidate - they’re racist! TIME to use their own tactics against them...
