I know, I’ve read a half dozen different birther theories.
One says BOTH parents must be born in this country citizens That would preclude Trump. Cruz mentioned that stupid theory during one of the debates, Trumpers attacked him for it, probably some of the same people were spouting the theory 5 years ago.
No consistency whatsoever.
It was never about the letter of the law or even the spirit, just about disqualifying people they don’t like. People they don’t like now including the most conservative US Senator cause he’s running against our White Knight Hero Trump. How dare he, the damn Canadian!!
Trump started this BS in 2011 with his phony attempt to take out Obama via birthism, riling up the dupes (Trump’s chumps) then walking away leaving us with Obama for four more years.
Now he uses it against Cruz, no shame for 2011.
More and more it seems like Trump’s goal is to kill all opposition to Dems.
‘One says BOTH parents must be born in this country citizens’
That is a strawman argument of the worst order. No credible Constitutional scholar has EVER promulgated that idiotic claim.
“I know, I’ve read a half dozen different birther theories.
Yet you have failed to learn anything from what you read due to your false assumptions and false beliefs. Ted Cruz can no more be a natural born citizen of the United States than an adopted child can be the natural born child of an adoptive mother.
“One says BOTH parents must be born in this country citizens That would preclude Trump.”
Ted Cruz lied and used that lie as a convenient strawman argument at the debate. The actual requirement is for both parents to be U.S. citizens, natural born or naturalized, at the time of the child’s birth in the U.S. jurisdiction. It is a lie to claim that both parents had to be natural born citizens, and such a claim is silly and ridiculous when you take it to its logical conclusion and discover it is an impossibility for all of the parents to be natural born citizens in an unbroken ancestral line into the past generations.
“Cruz mentioned that stupid theory during one of the debates, Trumpers attacked him for it, probably some of the same people were spouting the theory 5 years ago.”
Naturally, Cruz was criticized for using the lie and impossibility as a strawman argument.
“No consistency whatsoever.”
No, that is just yourself displaying your willful ignorance of the fact that Trump’s mother was a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time of his birth, and she was not required to be a natural born citizen of the U.S. in order for him to be a natural born citizen of the U.S.
“It was never about the letter of the law or even the spirit, just about disqualifying people they don’t like.”
No, that is just you making a false portrayal of the argument in contradiction of the facts.
