Just posted this on another thread, sometimes you just need to vent.

South Carolina officials have been asked who verified eligibility and what standard of proof was presented. That is a simple request and they are making some noise that they are going to demand proof, we shall see.

South Carolina Requirements
“The written certification required by this section must contain a statement that each certified candidate meets, or will meet by the time of the general election, or as otherwise required by law, the qualifications in the United States Constitution, statutory law, and party rules to participate in the presidential preference primary for which he has filed. Political parties must not certify any candidate who does not or will not by the time of the general election meet the qualifications in the United States Constitution, statutory law, and party rules for the presidential preference primary for which the candidate desires to file, and such candidate’s name must not be placed on a primary ballot.”

Just consider this a political ALAMO. This, even if we lose, could turn into a rallying cry. Travis couldn’t be assured that his stand wouldn’t be dismissed and forgotten. This is shown by his words “yet I am determined to perish in the defense of this place, and my bones shall reproach my country for her neglect”. These are the men that we are so indebted to, and many can’t even demand that a presidential candidate show that he is eligible for the office
