Hmmm, I thought FortyNiner was done with this and wouldn’t reply anymore. It’s OK to change your mind. Both you and Rock Lobster have clearly laid out why you think the way you do. I’ve pointed out what the current working legal definition is, which you disagree with. It was never my intention to try to persuade you to change your minds. As a matter of fact, I believe my comment was that there are folks (like you) that wouldn’t change their minds if the heavens opened up and the founding fathers themselves disagreed with you.
Now that we’ve all spoken our piece there is nothing to be gained by simply restating the same thing over and over in different ways. No one is changing their mind on this because of this conversation.
BTW, while none of us have gone to who we support in the primaries it’s a pretty good bet that you both support Trump. I hope that he’s successful in hitting the magic number before the convention so this argument doesn’t continue. My opinion is that Cruz would do a better job at following the Constitution and as such be better for our country, but Trump is my second choice. As such I’ll happily vote for him if he gets the nomination.
“My opinion is that Cruz would do a better job at following the Constitution and as such be better for our country”
I don’t see how you can say that considering how he doesn’t even understand Article II. His record in the Senate is abysmal. Given his votes for Coker, TPA, and TPP, Cruz’s love for Globalism is on display...too bad he doesn’t hold the Constitution in similar respect.
Cruz’s “VP” choice, Carly, is yet another example of Cruz’s Tin Ear. With the California primaries coming up in a few weeks, he should have known how disliked Carly is in California. His act of desperation in nominating her only cemented his loss of any hope of a California victory....
All in all Cruz has made his ineligibility issue go away. Not being the nominee, and therefore impossibly the elective candidate, the issue is therefore moot....until the next time.
Where’s that list of Presidents who were NOT born in the US to 2 citizen parents (NBCs), elected after the Constitutional work around expired, you promised????? Still looking???? Lololololol..........
