You educated, high-info and engaged Cruz supporters, please engage yourself in thinking carefully about this issue. The cowardly GOPe will NOT help Cruz. We the people have no voice.....Once again we will be at their mercy! WHY give them the best weapon (a constitutionally ineligible 'nominee') to defeat us again, when we have a real chance to nominate a constitutionally eligible person with proven ability and skill to defeat them?
At this time, Ted Cruz might or might not be the nominee. Why deliver the opponents a bomb to destroy us with?
No.. the dems want Trump as the GOP nominee.
....they might run the risk of giving him more support from the Latino vote
Don’t you know that even bringing up that question is a “low blow” to St. Ted? Why you can’t ask if the Democrats would use and obvious gift issue against Cruz because doing so marks you as crazy and uninformed.
Watch all the civics lessons you’ll get about “standing” and tortured legal “logic” as if they apply when Democrats are stealing an election.
BOHCA!
Of course they will
They will hand Canada around his neck and claim he isn’t a patriot
Trump we be the Republican nominee and in the general he will take 47 states.
I think they would be delighted to have a suit pending while he is the candidate, and should he be elected, to be dragging on casting doubt over the validity of his Presidency.
As far as comments that Dems would prefer Trump because he'd be easier to beat, maybe that is true, but it might also be wishful thinking. The Dems might be believing their own and MSM-linked line that Trump is widely perceived as a hopeless idiot and buffoon, and that Hillary will mop the floor with him in the campaign. That doesn't mean it is true--we've seen how out of touch the establishment pols are in both parties.
I think the Dems will let him run, and even if he was to win, they would not push all too hard to prove he is not qualified and then removed. I believe they want to allow him to set precedence so they have no trouble with future candidates of their own.
It’s a game of incrementalism(is that a word?)and besides, there is not enough time to drag the issue though courts and arrive at a conclusion.
I like Cruz, but the cloud of uncertainty over his eligibility is unsettling.
Zzzzz
2. Trump is still the man to beat. It looks like Florida is his to lose. Not sure about Ohio. At some point he will be inevitable.
The media will have a FIELD DAY with Cruz’s birthright status and they simply don’t give a shiite that they totally ignored the same issue with Trump.
By the time the election comes, they’ll have dubbed videos showing Cruz singing the Canadian National Anthem (which is not a bad song, actually) at his campaign rallies.
Needless to say, most Cruz supporters are low-information, so they have NO CLUE as to what is in store for Cruz, once Trump is out of the way.
I don't think you have much to worry about.
Uhhh...
Will the Voting public of the USA allow Obamugabe, born [somewhere] to a Kenyan father become POTUS?
Yep.
Next question please.
We’ve lowered the standard...Cruz is eligible for lack of Constitutional fortitude of the citizens.
Why should they?
The real question is; Why the hell didn't the alleged "opposition party" do the same for the ineligible, unvetted enemy agent currently soiling the White House?
The US and world would have seen none of this economic malaise and terrorism, with virtually any other normal American patriot serving as President.
Cruz has won in all places where his birth has been in question. End of story just like with obummer!
They’really crossing over to vote for Trump in the states with open caucuses. That’s how they kept Chris McDaniel out of office in Mississippi.
The democrats not only WILL challenge Cruz, they will apply the dual citizen parent test in addition to place of birth test which Cruz claims is not required. This is clearly evidenced by the senate hearing conducted in 2008 which challenged McCain’s natural born status.
Regardless of whether we think McCain’s place of birth was legitimately considered US soil, the relevant aspect of the 2008 senate hearing is that the democrats APPLIED both sets of criteria to include BOTH PARENTS.
How can the GOPe miss this??? They were there... so they KNOW what will happen if Cruz is nominated!
We are being set up by our own party for failure.
Trump is the monkey wrench in their machinery.
Well, if Cruz isn’t qualified, I’ll have to vote for Kasich.
Yes; I think they will believe it is in their best interests, because they can use it in the final weeks of the campaign to slam him with low-info swing voters.
