We must win these 7 states.
We does not include jebbush or similar rinos.
Lincoln/Douglas debates is what we need, there are already scheduled debates but when you 10,12 or more candidates in a debate it is all a waste, most debates are 90 minutes to 2 hours, by the time each candidate makes a two or three minute opening remarks, it is nearly half over, then the debate moderators will fix it so the rest of the debate is only between two or three candidates who are the weakest.
We are headed for 2012 again with so many wannabees most who have no business in the competition wasting time, money and resources, and the last man standing is Romney this time Bush and it is all over, Hillary or some other communist takes the prize.
Let's assume I'm Napoleon Bonaparte.
Mr. Cruz is certainly not eligible for the office: he was born in Canada to a Cuban father and a American mother, there is no way therefore that the 14th Amendment could apply to him, and the laws cited justifying his citizenship (which is not in question) must therefore derive from Art 1, Sec 8 — the ability of the Congress to set a uniform rule of naturalization.
Rubio's eligibility claim is tenuous — he was born in FL four years before his parents [both Cuban] naturalized, and thus to confer on him the status of Natural Born Citizen
is to validate and affirm not only the anchor-baby doctrine, but disperse to invaders the same rights that the lawful citizens reserved for their children, which is absurd on its face.
“2016 will be determined by many angry conservatives, regardless of race, gender, or anything else in my opinion.”
I still believe that there are a lot of angry,”hard working” (YES, THEY EXIST) Democrats undercover, ALSO angry about the economy and having their party hijacked.
“Lincoln/Douglas debates is what we need”
This would be rather tricky to do, given that there is exactly one (1) candidate available who would be more than a pimple on either of the above-mentioned candidates #$$es in terms of oratorical skills. Hard to believe that with no microphones, they could hold a debate with a crowd of thousands of people silently listening to every word. Of course, people generally aren’t as well-behaved these days either.
FR isn't a debating society on eligibility. The owner of this site has said Cruz is eligible. Get on board with the owner or start your own site.

I seriously doubt that Florida will be any factor at all.
Either the country has had enough, or it is too stupid to know.

You decided to bail out, huh?
Cruz or Lose!
And since when has FR been about agreeing with everything that anybody, even Jim, thinks?
Isn't that sort of approach exactly the same as Political Correctness? Isn't the conform or be destroyed
methodology the hallmark of collectivist thought?
If FR isn't a place where people can reasonably disagree, then what is it?

You must be a democrap!

This is a conservative site. Not a republican site.
I am here because I agree with the basic premises of the top page. Not because I want to argue whether conservatism is a good idea.
Cruz is eligible. Get over it. The owner has rightly said Cruz is eligible.

Jeb, Rubio, and Paul have all made permanent fools of themselves.
No serious observer could ever pull the lever for them.
What do you mean?
I was convinced that the Birthers
had a good argument about BHO's eligibility*, to refuse to apply that same standard to our guy
is both intellectually and morally dishonest.
That's not the same as saying that Cruz's character makes him unsuitable for office, it's not denying that [eligibility aside] comparatively to all others on he's one of the best character-wise (but given most of the rest of the field that's a backhanded complement) — all it is saying is that I do not believe him to be Constitutionally eligible, no more, no less.

I quite agree, and I won’t.

OK, first stick your right hand in your shirt to hold your Gallbladder...
This is a conservative site. Not a republican site.
And I have said nothing positive about the Republicans in a long time; I believe them to be no different than the Democrats, and the past several years I have been constantly proved right.
I am here because I agree with the basic premises of the top page. Not because I want to argue whether conservatism is a good idea.
You're jumping the gun here: implicitly asserting that I cannot be conservative and question Mr. Cruz's eligibility.
I am a Constitutionalist, I have given a Constitutional reasoning for my stance — where is it wrong?
Cruz is eligible. Get over it. The owner has rightly said Cruz is eligible.
You are asserting facts not in evidence; it has not been proven and it is, in fact, eligible.
Saying he is eligible again and again, appealing to authority w/o any regard for rational discussion — this reminds me of Obama's supporters, and I know you're better than that.
I’d like to see your map. Can’t see it. Maybe it’s because I’m on an iPad. If you could, could you snap a screenshot of it and post it as a photo? There may be others on tablets who’d like to see what you made.
The eligibility game has been blown out of the water.
It is a proven fact that obama was not born a citizen under any form of law, yet no one in congress was willing to go after it.
That is where it is.
