Ted Cruz says he would have no problem with a contested convention over the summer in the event neither he nor Donald Trump secures enough delegates before then to lock up the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump suggested Wednesday morning on "Fox and Friends" that Cruz was making the statement "because he had such a bad night last night."

Based on a lot more research, my views have evolved on this issue since 2009. I no longer consider any distinctions among citizens by birth has any valid legal, Constitutional or historical basis.

Trump: ‘Islam Hates Us’

I realize he is ‘kindergarten for conservatives’, but that’s why he’s connecting with Facebook people, etc. Simple, clear messages.
Here’s an inside look at him ...
VOTE AS YOU WISH, AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TRUMP

Peter Ticktin: If you saw a guy get publicly smeared, and you knew him well from the days you were friends and seniors together in high school, if you knew him to be a decent and honest man, would you want to say something? This is why I need to share what I know. ...
... Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump. Think of it. With all the jealousies which arise in high school and thereafter, with all the potential envy, not one of us has anything other than positive memories of this man. ...
... Like Donald Trump, I attended New York Military Academy (”NYMA”) for high school. In fact, in our senior year, together, Donald was my captain, and I was his 1st Platoon Sergeant. I sometimes joke that I ran his first company for him, Company “A.” ...

BUSH BRO JOINS CRUZ [finance team]

BTW, I’m not convinced that Heidi is any kind of super-villain. She comes from a wonderful family, and she even spied on the Clinton campaign. According to Carry Okie, she was running interference with global master plans the same way he had infiltrated UN Agenda 21.
So I think it would be great if Cruz could at least remain a senator and prove himself over time.
I’m still willing to believe that Cruz is a fine man, but the Bush team has infiltrated his campaign. He’s too vulnerable to ‘inside the beltway’ consultants. Almost all patriots get tripped up at a certain point in their careers by the GOP Establishment.
If the RNC tries to throw Mitt Romney is the mix, I'll be pissed.

Springtime for Pundits ( How similar are Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler? )

Half of the Washington political class is vowing to vote for Hillary — even Stalin! — over Trump; psychologists (and massage therapists) report they are treating patients for “Trump anxiety”; lengthy thought-pieces on Trump have no room to mention his signature issue, immigration, but get prolix on George Wallace, Mussolini and Hitler. (Never Mao, Stalin or Lenin, curiously.)
You’re going to have to act quickly if you hope to be among the first 200 princesses to feel the pea under 15 layers of mattresses.
To save you time, I will provide the prototype. Do not be surprised if the following turns up, word for word, under the byline of David Brooks, Stephen Hayes, Cokie Roberts, every single writer for Salon, Gawker, National Review, Commentary and The Huffington Post. And then, of course, Fareed Zakaria will steal it.

“J’accuse Donald Trump”
Watching the candidacy of Donald Trump, I am continually struck by his resemblance to a man who came to power in a far-off land nearly 85 years ago, a historical epic that I had naively hoped was well buried in the past.
Consider the following:
— Adolf Hitler held gigantic rallies, where he inspired millions with rousing speeches. Donald Trump holds gigantic rallies, where he inspires millions with rousing speeches.
— Adolf Hitler talked about making his country great again. Donald Trump talks about making his country great again.
— Adolf Hitler promised military victories. Donald Trump promises military victories.
— Adolf Hitler had a loyal and overweight henchman, Hermann Goering. Donald Trump has a loyal and overweight henchman, Chris Christie.
— Adolf Hitler blamed a specific group of immigrants for all the nation’s problems (Ed: Jews weren’t immigrants — Close enough!). Donald Trump blames a specific group of immigrants for all the nation’s problems.
— Adolf Hitler vowed to build a wall (Ed: Wait a minute — when did Hitler talk about a wall? Shhhh! Nevermind!) Donald Trump vows to build a wall.
— Adolf Hitler was a teetotaler. Donald Trump is a teetotaler.
— Adolf Hitler had a hobby that he enjoyed very much (painting). Donald Trump has a hobby that he enjoys very much (golf).
— Adolf Hitler had an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, “The Berghof” in Berchtesgaden. Donald Trump has an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, “Mar-a-Lago” in Palm Beach.
— Adolf Hitler was involved with a woman from Central Europe, Eva Braun. Donald Trump is married to a woman from Central Europe, Melania Knauss.
— Adolf Hitler had a pact with the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1941; Donald Trump said nice things about Russian president Vladimir Putin.
— Adolf Hitler required all non-Jewish, German civilians to greet one another with a rigid right-arm salute, while exclaiming “Heil!” or “Heil Hitler!” Donald Trump has asked audiences to promise to vote for him by raising their hands, which is the PRECISELY same thing.
— Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian; Donald Trump has never smoked.
— Adolf Hitler forcibly annexed Czechoslovakia. Donald Trump tried to merge two casinos in Atlantic City.
— Adolf Hitler invested hundreds of millions of dollars on German aviation to upgrade the Luftwaffe. Donald Trump has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in private jets.
— Adolf Hitler never had any children, but if he had, they would probably have been blond. Both of Donald Trump’s daughters are blond.
— Adolf Hitler’s favorite food was liver dumplings, a dish very similar to meatloaf. (Ed.: They’re not remotely similar. No one knows that.) Donald Trump’s favorite food is meatloaf.
— Adolf Hitler had light hair and a moustache. Donald Trump has light hair and a moustache. (This has not been definitively established, but some who knew Trump in the 1970s recall that he had a moustache, albeit a fuller, longer one.)
— One of Adolf Hitler’s idols was World War I fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as “the Red Baron.” Donald Trump’s son is named Barron. (It’s spelled differently, but sounds the same.)
— Adolf Hitler liked Eva Braun because she was very attractive; Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, is very attractive.
— Adolf Hitler vowed to exterminate entire races; Donald Trump has vowed to exterminate ALL Mexicans and Central Americans. (Mr. Trump has yet to call for this, but if he had, it would be an amazing parallel and speak very ill of his character.)
— One of Adolf Hitler’s favorite desserts, not his No. 1 favorite, but one he enjoyed several times a year, was chocolate ice cream. Donald Trump has talked about formerly liking Oreos. (Recently, he vowed never to eat Oreos again because Nabisco moved its factories to Mexico. This does not negate his previous position on the cookie.)
— Adolf Hitler was known for erecting concentration camps – surrounded by walls to keep people out, particularly Mexicans. (Ed: That’s not true.) Donald Trump wants to build a wall.
— Allowing Adolf Hitler to come to power was a horrible mistake for an entire nation; allowing Donald Trump to come to power will be a horrible mistake for an entire nation.
In conclusion, [dramatic music plays] I have covered American politics for 30 years. For the first time in my life I am afraid for my country. Very afraid. Very, very afraid. Very, very, very afraid.

I believe Cruz is a fine man, but he is a man and wants to win. I don’t think a contested convention would be his first choice, as John Kasich apparently does from his comments. I don’t know if Marco is selfish or delusional.

I would wholesale all three of them to you for 10 bucks....and then in private, consider myself a thief : )
“Cruz hasn’t gone anywhere, he was always there. He simply took the mask off and dropped the rebel act”

“Let’s face it Teddy was never as severely conservative as he tried to tell us”
Rather like Trump?

Trump never tried to be son of the preacher man. He never told you he was the coming of the 7th King. Give me a break!
I think Common Sense Conservative is a pretty accurate label for Donald Trump. That’s all he ever tried to say he was.
Sorry, I only have $9.99.
S O L D to the highest bidder!
The Uniparty approved the sale.
You held the same views in 2011...pls stop,with the bs.
Hahahaha! I was gullible in 2012 when I voted for the Canadian without checking him out as closely as I should have. I hope I get a chance to vote against him in 2018 to correct my error.
OK, make it since 2011 then. Whatever. The point being that I understand All the arguments, inside and out. I have “looked at coups from both sides now” so to speak. You want to quibble about when I began to revise my ideas as to how the Framers understood the term natural born citizen? I date it to when I read Vattel’s Law of Nations in its entirely.
