You are in for a big surprise. The only law fulfilled was the required blood sacrifices. We are truly blessed we are not required to offer blood sacrifices. However, those Ten Commandments are still in effect. Christ quoted Moses many times, and it was Moses as well as Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration.

I pray for a PAC attack to take on Cruz, in TEXAS. In the midst of Tedlit’s nasty melt down, there was talk of equalizing Cruz’s war chest by Trump supporting PACs forming to a give him challenger loaded with money to rip him a new one.

Michael McCaul (R-TX) and chairman of Homeland Security, is a favorite, but Trump was looking at McCaul for a position in his administration. Rick Perry would be tough for Cruz cash to put away.

Cruz is ineligible. He is not a natural born citizen.
One is only NATUARLLY a US citizen when one cannot possibly be anything else.
He was born in Canada to a foreign national father, doubly ineligible.

Not if someone decides to primary him, but yes, you are correct, should that not happen.

TRUE about Rick Perry. Was he a good governor of the Lone Star State?

“Tangentially, with lame efforts now afoot in the electoral college and in Jill Stein’s recount of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to undermine the legitimacy of Trump’s victory, why would Trump himself call into question the integrity of the election? His message right now should be to hail the glorious splendor of a free and fair vote. Instead he’s screwing around on Twitter with this, inadvertently undermining the process that just made him president:”

Because illegals matter. Because we need to, as Justice Joseph Story put it:
“cut[] off all chances for ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interpose[] a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections.”

That is something Cruz, Rubio and Jeb! didn’t quite understand.

That has to be the most stompy footed whine I have ever read coming from an alleged Republican.

He either doesn’t know what natural born citizen means and could decide that a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen eligible to be President or he knows and ignored that part of the Constitution because of his own ambition.

He’s been talking about this for some time. The dems didn’t need to get involved, and there was another Texan who might not vote for him in the EC was/is Chris Suprun.

Three terrible errors but fabulous on business in his day. Not bad over 16 years, considering all the action going on in TEXAS.

SPOT ON...as usual. :-)

Cruz has got to go and NEVER be heard from again and the Cruzombies need to get over him; once and for all!

He votes the way he has to and if they don’t do the job they went for they should be fined a big sum and have a replacement vote the way he was supposed to.

We were fed up with 100 Senators, 9 Justices and 435 Congress people messing with the voter’s wishes. So now comes along 537 potential crybaby electors with a Napoleon complex? Jail them.

Well, actually, “Biblically Qualified” is addressed in Article VI of the Constitution, but not as this guy thinks.

“no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

** do not see how Donald Trump is biblically qualified to serve in the office of the Presidency. **

This guy isn’t well informed.

Trump is the Christian — Hillary is the “whatever”, but she’s not practicing Christianity because she is for abortion and the killing of innocents.

He resigned so it’s not his responsibility anymore. The RNC will pick someone else to perform this duty.

Using God to not complete a promise he made to do a job is pure gutless, with no conviction. A coward. He took the job, and promised the people he would do what he was supposed to do. Then he backed out like the scared little animal he is. He never should been there. He committed himself, so he should be taken to court for fraud. And using God this way is a blasphemy. So much for your religious reasoning.

What an ass.

Hope he gets voted out of office.

I don’t think he understands what qualifications are required to be president.....biblically qualified ain’t part of it

What does Texas law say. If an elector resigns before the college is he replaced by an alternate, the party or does his vote just get forfeited?
