Apparently, the Democrats are still pissed about Bush v. Gore and feel that this is payback time if Cruz gets the nod..... interesting how mad they still are about that.
If Cruz comes from way behind and ends of getting the nomination, maybe Trump should take it?
Watching a recording of the debate, Trump had Cruz squirming like a worm on a hook, seriously, you just watch Cruz and his eyes, he knows his birth issue is like a pair of concrete boots.
this is the EXACT strategy i said the dems would use if TCruz were to get the nomination.
and yes, he would be found in ineligible. there’s far more evidence the founders intended for any future president to have only one citizenship at birth then any other weird fantasies concocted since 0bama came on the scene
This is one of the reason that I don’t think Cruz was planning to win this time around. I think his long-term plan was to put this issue upfront and now and, if the courts ruled in his favor, run in 2020 and win.
It’s a raising his profile this time around.
“I’m waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he’s unqualified for the job because he’s ineligible.”
I’m surprised they’re going public with their strategy. So the lawsuit is filed and one of several things happens:
1) The courts quickly* rule in Cruz’s favor
2) The courts quickly* rule against Cruz
3) The courts slowly* rule in Cruz’s favor
4) The courts slowly* rule against Cruz
5) The courts leave the issue hanging through the election
(*quickly meaning soon after the convention, *slowly meaning just before the election)
The outcomes mean the following:
1) Non-issue
2) The RNC gets to choose our candidate - Jeb anyone?
3) Hangs over campaign, Dems claim Cruz is stealing the election through the courts as they did with Bush in 2000.
4) Cruz gets replaced at last minute by Jeb.
5) Drags Cruz to defeat, or at least hurts him
Trump HAS A POINT, nothing good comes from this...it needs to be SETTLED NOW, before the RNC gets to choose our candidate.
And also keep in mind that the courts now answer to DEMOCRATS, and would MUCH RATHER have Karl Rove putting Jeb on the ballot than to have to run against Cruz.
...but I still can’t see why the Dems spilled the beans, they had it set up PERFECTLY.
Trump is the only Democrat who can win. What a clever trick the Dems pulled to have him run as a pubbie. They new last year about hillarys legal problems... Trump is a democratic plant. Nasty but smart tactic.
I really hope that everyone finally realized just how desperate Trump truly is./ Like Cruz said the only thing that has changed since September are the poll numbers.
I do not doubt at the rats will use every dirty trick in the books against Cruz. That is who they are.
Sadly, all said, if Cruz cannot beat Trump on this issue, how can he beat the rats and the full force of the media? And I donate to Cruz!
Of course they will . . . they are hypocrites. They blocked every challenge to Obama’s eligibility but will take Cruz’s eligibility all the way to the supreme court.
This one is out of Texas....
If he can't .... Vice President Sarah Palin will have to do?
Just saying.....
