Agreed with Trump because no one can come close to charisma of PDJT. Between Cruz and DeSantis, Cruz has much higher debating skills and many years of practice in Senate of giving smooth sounding elaborate speeches. DeSantis barely won by a whisker over a far lefty Andrew Gillum.

Cubanadians are not naturally Americans.

Josh Hawley might be a possibility.

Who is Carly Fiorina? If I can’t remember her, most others won’t either.

Only “natural” Americans are native Americans, also known as Red Indians. Others are all from somewhere else going back just a few generations.

If you see him in person, his personal magnetism and gravitas is awesome--like that of Ronald Reagan, whom I have also seen in person.

Bush got in because everyone thought he would be Reagan II. No way Cruz is going to pretend to be Trump II.

Why do you want someone on the Supreme Court who thinks Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are natural born citizens eligible to be President?

If he is, they are.

If he is not, (and he isn’t) what does that say about his ethics?

No Ted in ‘24.

No Ted is ‘32.

No Ted in ‘50.
Okay, maybe in 2050 because I may well be gone by then. But Ted is just so slimy and unlikeable. I just can’t see how he could put together a winning campaign. What’s he gonna run on? I’m not sure he believes in anything. He sure isn’t loyal to any person. Not even his family.

As a Canadian you do not understand the Constitution or how someone is only NATURALLY a citizen if they could not be anything else.

Everyone who is born something else due to foreign parent(s) or foreign birth may still be a US citizen but is not a natural born citizen.

It was that sole allegiance that made the founders choose natural born over native born or simply born a citizen.

“Didn’t he call Trump supporters terrorists in january?”

He also joined the media in BLAMING TRUMP for the Antifa violence during the 2016 campaign, when Trump’s people were getting the crap beat out of them.

I first came across Donald Trump a decade or so before he ran in 2016. He was presiding over a meeting of his golf resort managers from all over the world, about 100 of them. After seeing that meeting on Golf channel, I wanted him to run for president.

IMHO only mistake Trump made in 2020 was to say “this covid thing is just another flu, and will die away when summer weather arrives” — paraphrasing from my 81 year old memory.
Biden OTOH hid in his basement wearing Burqa full time. Masses of un-informed voters construed that as Biden was more serious about covid. Rest is history.

Posters UNDER-ESTIMATE fear of covid Americans have, justified or not. Why do you think so many would jab themselves with an experimental vaccine?

In the U.S., 499 million doses have been given so far. An average 1.77 million doses per day were administered over the last week. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/

“The only other possibility is Paul and maybe Abbot.”

You won’t make too many friends here talking about Abbott, but I’ll GLADLY vote for him if no Trump or DeSantis.

Logical sensible and completely ignorant of the Constitutional requirements for Presidency. Those requirements are there to protect against divided loyalties not just in one person’s case but for all who were not solely American citizens at birth. Cruz would be no better than any other self serving resident of the Whitehouse, just making fine sounding sound bites and using his position to buy & sell our Country and trashing our freedoms.

I will repeat, only natural Americans are native Americans.
All others came from somewhere else just a few generations back. Unless you are a native American, you are not natural American.

Tell that to the 1968 Republican nominee Nelson Rockefeller who was runner up in 1964. Oh wait, Nixon was the 1968 nominee.
