With the addition of Sean Hannity the lineup of “experts†on the right who know better and demand we support Ted Cruz is complete. He joins Mark Levin whose stepson works for Cruz, Rush Limbaugh who always believes he knows better than anyone else and the insane Glenn Beck who thinks God killed Justice Scalia to help elect Cruz.
Ted Cruz, as the Republican Party’s nominee, would have a tough uphill fight from day one for a number of reasons not the least of which would be that he would have to buy virtually every second of coverage he received. The big money on both sides of the Uniparty desperately wants open borders to feed The Cheap Labor Express.
Nevertheless, this problem pales in comparison to his real problem: A strategically filed Alan Garyson lawsuit challenging Cruz’s eligibility to run.
What happens if the following things occur?
Grayson files the day after Labor Day with dozens of co-complainants;
The matter is “rocket docketed†to the Supreme Court which is still 4 – 4;
John Roberts, who was blackmailed over the illegal adoption of his children in both Obamacare and Gay marriage cases, votes with the majority who, in the middle of September rule Cruz is not eligible.
Consider that and say “That’s not possible†out loud if you believe I’m wrong.
It would be the middle of September and the Republicans would have no candidate – NOT a bad candidate like Mitt Romney – but NO candidate as in nada zero.
We trusted the Supreme Court to kill Obamacare and Gay marriage and the same “experts†who were “ surprised†at the rulings now make believe Grayson’s lawsuit poses no threat to Cruz’s eligibility.
I don’t want to take that chance just to prove how conservative I am. I am very conservative and don’t need to prove it to anybody.
I also live “Realville†just down the street from Mayor Limbaugh who seems to have gone fishing. The sentiment in Realville is that the future of our nation is way too important to leave to a 5 – 3 vote in the Supreme Court.
I’m just not gonna try and make it through any more excerpts that have all those garbled characters in it. Just not gonna do it.
Sorry Coach...you’re clearly living in Spielville and are merely promoting your preferred candidate.
Trump takes Cruz as VP, lets Cruz fight it out in court and either run for POTUS next or not.
You are wasting cyberspace.
Any more of you left wingers want to crawl out from under the rocks with this nonsense. Will never happen! How far in the tank are you from Trump?
That the “superior intellectual” Cruz chose to not get a clear Judicial Declaration BEFORE he announced speaks volumes of his attempt to weasel his way into the Presidency.
Jackpot! You nailed it!
Trump is not going to take Cruz for VP. That ship has sailed. Look for it to be somebody like Kasich. He can deliver OH a must have swing state and he’s a good party foot soldier who won’t be trying to stab Trump in the back all the time.
LOL!
You and me both, I skipped down to see responses, yours is the most appropriate.
The Ohio primary will determine the strength of Kasich.
As an Ohio resident, Kasich is just another establishment form of Romney/Ryan - not a fit for what Trump wants to do.
I wouldn’t put anything past the desperados of the Uniparty scheming to keep average, middle-class Americans in the Medieval peon class.
It doesn’t matter. Go Trump!
The Federal Constitution does not recognize "running for president", "being nominated", etc. as activities occurring under Article II or Amendment XII.
Electors are appointed at the sole discretion, and under 50 sets of rules, made by the State Legislatures. IF a State Legislature has passed a law that says access to the ballot (assuming that the Legislature uses a popular vote method of appointing electors) is restricted to persons who are constitutionally eligible to the office in question, THEN it becomes a State legal question (NOT a Federal one).
The matter of Cruz's eligibility to SERVE AS PRESIDENT could become a Federal matter, but not until 270 or more Electoral College ballots with his name on them are presented to Congress next January.
Now, since the Supreme Court has assumed authority over many matters which are outside of its jurisdiction, it's possible that they would hear a case about the primary election process, or (worse) the nominating convention process, but, basically, it's none of their business.
I used to live in Realville, but not anymore.
I left there in 2008 with the election of Barack Hussein Obama. It wasn’t my choice. I’m still trying to move back but I’m not sure it’s in the cards for 2016...
BACKSTORY Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a dual Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know. When the Dallas Morning News published his Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at that time.
===============================================
Cruz told Levin (whose stepson works for Cruz) that he used the Wall Street loans for the campaign/s TV ads......but these loans have never been reported as campaign-related. Cruz does not need the FEC on this. What is he hiding?
You mean “for Trump”, right?
Well, I’m pretty far in.
But tell me this. Suppose Bernie Sanders were born to an alien father in a foreign land. Suppose the Kenyan birth certificate had shown up in the Commonwealth Office in 2010, showing “Barack Obama” was born in Kenya to an alien father.
Would you regard the Sanders case or the “Obama” case in the same way, with the same set of facts, as you do the Cruz case?
I seriously doubt that a "clear judicial declaration" on this question would be, or even could be, available before January 2017 at the earliest.
All I know for sure is that in the unlikely event Cruz gets the nomination, he will be papered by the DNC instantly, and probably in most states. It would cast a cloud over his character and if he refused to step aside, one or more 3rd party candidates would emerge and the general election would be chaos. They don’t have to win a lawsuit, they just need one federal judge to agree there is reason to proceed, and perhaps to issue injunctions. It would be an electoral crisis.
Anyone who thinks the DNC (with tacit support of the RNC) would stop at nothing to stop Cruz hasn’t been paying attention.
Yes, if his mother was a U.S. citizen. This is how the Congress understood it, right after the Constitution was adopted. Kenya makes no difference.
