I truly admire Ted Cruz. Think he is doing a great job.
BUT, as you said, he is not a natural born citizen as is required by the constitution.
Jan 28 2017: Hillary Clinton sworn in
Of course all the RINO’s, who are so worried about garnering the hispanic vote, will fall in right behind him.
Cruz is Natural Born Citizen since his mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth.
He was born in Calgary, Alberta Canada, he cannot run, but he is a fine senator.
This is a really, really good idea.
I support this plan.
I do not yet support Ted Cruz for president - too early to pick a candidate. But I strongly support his candidacy.
Count me totally in on the Cruz express! I want no one but Ted Cruz in 2016.
He, currently, sounds better than the others who are falling out of favor faster than the half-dozen 2012 primaries leaders did.
Ryan, Rubio and Paul seem to have drunk the kool-aide for the amnesty bill. Whether it passes or not, just their support makes them undesirable candidates.
Christie is still trying to get in bed with Obama, his new BFF since Hurricane Sandy.
I get a tad worried when the Ted Cruz’s and the Sarah Palin’s (wait, there is only one of each) get antsy and maybe a little overreaching in terms of their political careers. Arguably, Cruz’ influence might diminish if he were to become all wrapped in a pres run. Arguably, Sarah’s ability to influence is larger than if she were VP. Tough call. We need young, we need vibrant, we need aggressive, and these two are that. I happen to like TC and SP right where they are.
Personally, I would rather see him on the Supreme Court. Although it would not be unprecedented for a former president to be appointed a supreme...
Best news I have heard all day. Go Ted Cruz!
At this point and the fact that Obama’s pedigree was so obviously hidden, overlooked, faked, and ignored, I don’t give a flying flip about that point, IF it were for a Cruz-like opponent to rabid liberalism.
As long as the liberal/Democrat opponent is for real traditional values of honesty, hard work, adherence to existing laws (immigration) and fitting punishment and non reward for infractions thereof. I’m now just ‘lawless’ enough now to say “frack it”....they do it - we do it!
It’s when this Cruz-like opponent starts to go God complex like Rubio is where I have a big, big, big problem. For me there is no equivocation, no rationalizing, no quarter for things like Amnesty and illegals, pandering to hispanics for their votes in non-traditional American ways, any, repeat ANY more infringements on the Second Amendment whatsoever, and allowing this population to become further infested with leeching, entitlement whining losers, and those “immigrants” legal or otherwise who are only here to rape our bounty.
This is kind of a surprise. Thiel is a very prominent gay libertarian - so he obviously sees in Cruz a man willing to defend liberty and economic freedom above all else.
How about we have a Conservative primary? ....so that our winner goes on to fight Jeb Bush or whoever in the Republican primary?
If we have half a dozen conservatives with one Rockefeller/Bush Republican, they will take it again.
It doesn't really matter since he's delusional if he thinks he has a chance. What the Democrats would do to him in the general election is nothing compared to what the Republcians would do to him in the primary.
Should be a minor issue unless the people on our side make a bigger deal of it that the opposition does. Which we probably will.
Would love to see him run.
Good.
The GOP has not a single other person to run, none.
As far as his eligibility, I simply do not care.
If America can no longer produce intelligent conservatives, then I’ll take one from somewhere else.
That’s what it’s come to.
