Hopefully this will be put on a fast track and we can get this silliness behind us.
Cruz should have taken the Donald’s advice and preemptively filed for a declaratory judgement.
This will drag on, hurting Cruz. And Cruz’s lawyers will want to take the same approach as Rubio’s. Try to get it dismissed for lack of standing, or on a technicality, or because suits against Obama were thrown out, or because prior presidents that may have been inelligible have served.
And none of it is going to cast Cruz as defender of the constitution.
“Hopefully this will be put on a fast track and we can get this silliness behind us.”
Yep, this is a favor to Cruz whether intended or not.
Unfortunately I doubt he has ‘standing’.
Agreed.
yes
Trump forced the issue to the advantage of Cruz
Agreed. Just like the PP lawsuit will open them up to discovery and therefore their financial and electronic records must be turned over to the defense to prove their clients innocence.
Sometimes...lawsuits backfire on the ones filing it.
These are two cases that may just do that.
And Ted needs this to happen quickly. Trump and Cruz would win in a landslide together...and they are both smart enough to know this to be true.
Tally Ho !!!
Appeals will just drag it out ad infinitum. It’s stupid.
Doesn’t matter what track it gets put on. If it it’s not this, it will be something else. Cruz must be doing something right if he has both Trump and the Democrats quaking in their boots like this. Of course it’s a problem for Trump now when it wasn’t an issue 6 months ago. Trump is feeling the heat and Trump blinked. Not the cool cucumber some people thought he was.
Rest assured, if Bill Clinton were running as a Republican in Trump’s position, spouting the same talking points and making identical promises to conservatives, the Trumpettes would quickly change to the Clintonistas and would be donning their presidential knee pads. The past apparently doesn’t matter. What will you promise me this time?! Just say anything... Please?
Gullible little Trumpettes getting played. He’s a character right out of central casting right down to that grimacing Muppet puss of his and unfortunately for us, otherwise good conservatives are lapping it up. Sad...
