she carries DUEL citizenship, automatically. Ever hear of that?

Is that where you have a pick of the weapons before you fight to the death, for citizenship?

That goes for any R pres. candidate against any D and their overwhelming liberal media. The R candidate has to beat both.

In order to beat Hillary, you have to beat the media (and mention Benghazi OFTEN).

Mention her age. More exactly, how old she is.

I certainly hope so. I salivate at the thought of that wench (HRC) being slapped down one last time before she finally strokes out.

Cruz/West would be the best ticket in the nation! PERIOD.

Or any ticket with West on it for that matter.

I’d prefer one with eligible Americans on it, but I guess I’m just a minority these days.

Cruz is qualfied to be a US senator. He is not qualified under Art II sec 1 Clause 5 as a natural born citizen. You have to have two citizen parents AT BIRTH not one who aspires to be one in the future.

I concede that if Obama is not removed because of his ineligibility than that provision of the USC will be rendered moot.
I wish Cruz WAS eligible because he is a pretty reliable conservative. But I am a constitutionalist before I will yeild to any cult of personality

How about we follow the laws and the constitution? I thought we were the party that supported them?

I love Cruz, but he needs to stay as a senator.

Let the other 49 states try to come up with a president for once!

What you said, and it's a damn shame because I think Cruz is great.

Agreed, although I think an effective leader could win over enough people. We weren’t that far last year. Florida was razor thin. Virginia could have been won. Ohio and the Midwest is where we have problems and have to figure out how to turn the tide. Sme of this is a natural back and forth between parties. Some of it is a gradual slide to a failed euro-style welfare state. I think we have to hope that the unusual mix of campaign skill of the Obama team and race politics is one of huge underlying aspects of this election. Could a Hillary or Cuomo or someone else be subbed in with the same effectiveness? I don’t know. If we had a better candidate and they had a less effective candidate, how would it look different?

Your points on the individual states are certainly valid; depending on the circumstances, it wouldn't take that many purple-ish states to flip things back.

Some of it is a gradual slide to a failed euro-style welfare state.

That's the crux of it, I think.

If we had a better candidate and they had a less effective candidate, how would it look different?

I've just been speculating, of course. If a truly charismatic Republican candidate went up against a lousy Democrat, could he (or she) win? Sure...but I wouldn't bet on it.

we had an effective conservative leader whom we refused to support because of the Newt train, leading to Romney.

Please explain to me why republicans deserve to win? I just don’t see it. McCain and Romney indicates to me that Republicans just don’t care about winning.

What part of Kenya don’t you understand. If Obama is eligible, anyone is.

According to whom? Barack Obama?

Weren’t you the one arguing that ‘sticking with rules is for losers?’

"Cult of personality" seems to be going around these days.

There are some here who want to remain ignorant about natural law versus positive law. They do not acknowledge the distinction between the two. Some do not understand the difference, and some play ignorant since they want their favorite candidate(s) to be eligible because they want it and that is all what counts in their minds.
