I too. But these are not normal times. The Oath means absolutely nothing. To people like you and me it does, but you CANNOT deny it means squat to them.

The Oath means NOTHING. And they long since threw off the pretense of being bound by it.

To get back to where the Constitution is observed is going to take some doing. Right now, Trump is the best option for starting that process. He is far from perfect.

But there is nobody else right now.

Natural born citizenship was put in the Constitution for a reason. We don’t just declare it irrelevant because Obama already got away with it. If anything, Obama’s disastrous presidency demonstrates better than anything else could have, why it was put there in the first place.

The Gabbards were from Kentucky, per the family tree.

Precedent, which rules in the common law tradition.
People misunderstand common law a lot.

We need Trump—no doubt. But let me remind you that The Electorate has always had a very short memory.

But I’ve mentioned this before...

If anything, Biden is being even more disastrous, and he’s as natural born as can be.

Trump is less so, his mom was British (a Scot) and his paternal grandparents were German.

I see you’re another who suffers from BVS, Battered Voter Syndrome...You keep getting lied to and cheated on, but keep coming back for more abuse. It’s not love. They’re economically gang raping you.

I trust Trump. None of the others. Last time they lined up to knife Trump in the back. I’m just a bit jaded by these traitorous SOBs. Those who aren’t, are not paying attention.

We’ve let the elector’s role in selecting the president\vice president evolve into nothing more than a ritual. It’s to the Constitution like the appendix is to the body. So why not the NBC requirement.

Note I am not saying I agree with all of this, but this is what we have done!

>The Democrats will just run out the clock…

That's why the VP pick shouldn't be just an add-on calculated to get more votes this time. Pick needs to be someone that can and continue MAGA past any stalling/blocking tactics. Also needs to be someone who would faithfully continue Trump's efforts should DJT die in office—of natural causes (unlikely) or unnatural ones(also not unlikely). Ideally should be someone who'd be expected to continue MAGA with LESS restraint than Trump would, someone who'd leverage Trump martyrdom into dramatic change. So as discourage any attempts to martyr Trump. Think what LBJ did after the death of the then unpopular JFK, until Vietnam backlash pulled him down.

Now where you find that I don't know. But DJT needs to pull one out of his hat if he wants to have a legacy.

If DeSantis is tapped for VP will the onlyTrumpers stay home on Election Day?

Yes they will. I’ve lost count of the many Angry Trumpers here at FR who have plainly said so.

It’s still a safeguard that remains in place (at least on paper) as it should. Biden may be a worse president than Obama, but using that as an argument for ignoring natural born citizenship is like arguing that a murder suspect with a long rap sheet shouldn’t be denied bail because the practice didn’t stop “John Doe”, who had no prior arrests, from killing someone.

“a lying, backstabbing, snake....”

If so, I’d have to say that as a “a lying, backstabbing, snake” DeSantis has gotten more conservative measures in place in Florida than the rest of the governors in the union have, put together. I would take that any day of the week.

I’m very confident it’s never going to happen.

Trump’s already had some experience dealing with these America last screw worms. Smiling, winking and nodding weasels, then stick the knife in his back. If he tripped they were there to make sure he fell.

Things should be quite different this time around.

Are you talking about DeSantis? No, I guess not. RDS came out early and condemned the raid.

Exactly. If i thought (i don’t) that Nikki Haley as VP was the only way to get Trump elected I’d be on the birdbrain wagon so fast.

Obama has exploded the myth of NBC requiring both NBC parents with a nuke. It is gone, kaput, horse out of the barn situation. But people who dislike others with foreign heritage will continue to display their true colors.

You nailed it. NBC kooks are racist. "No Brown People!"
