The Huffington Post's Huffpost Politics ^ | February 12, 2016 | Christina Wilkie

The plaintiffs, Sebastian Green, Shannon Duncan, Kathryn Spears, Kyle Spears and Jerry Parker, are all residents of Cullman County and supporters of Cruz's opponent, Donald Trump, according to AL.com....

It is anecdotal and probably irrelevant, but I was always told that as a dual-citizen (father in military), I was not going to be able to run for president.

There are over 330 million “experts” on that clause in the Constitution.

Cullman? Cullman Alabama?

I knew someone who moved there, they didn’t last six
months before they were frozen out of the community.

As I learned from a late friend from Alabama, it’s
kind of an insular place.

If he wins the nomination, it’s not gonna matter by that point who wins. I won’t participate in that clown show.

Free advertising as the leader of a cult? Well, if you consider that a good thing his 60% negatives among Republican voters must make you shout for joy.

If one were being intellectually honest, the concern for adherence to the constitution being shown by Trump supporters would disqualify their candidate based on the fact that they are in essence saying they want someone who’s going to govern foremost on constitutional principles. There is no assurance of this in the words or deeds of Mr. Trump.
