Hello, President Cruz...

[GREEN607]

"Natural born citizen..."

Ted Cruz is US citizen, judge rules

 

[HoughMade]

Not exactly a surprise to anyone who has examined the issue.

 

[Sylvain]

Now he just needs the votes ...

 

[Dean C.]

Kinda hard to win the general when you cannot even win the primary

 

[T.Lex]

Kinda hard to win a primary and still win a general.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Kinda hard to win the general when you cannot even win the primary

Me thinks the RNC is going to try and prove that wrong.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Me thinks the RNC is going to try and prove that wrong.

Hopefully.

I'd say that is going to apply to whoever the RNC puts forth. I don't see any of the candidates hitting the cut off number.

 

[Mark 1911]

Would love to see it. It's going to be close.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Hopefully.

As much as I would like to see that someone other than Trump or Cruz, I'd like to see the system work for the people, NOT the party. If Cruz or Trump has the support of most of the people that call themselves Republicans, then they should be the party's representative. The Cruz/Trump situation, has shown that the establishment isn't trusted. If they're denied the nomination, and a patsy fills the gap, then we will have our answer as to who the party is working for. Same with the Democrats, but I think that has already been proven.
Honestly, what we need is a "rogue" candidate. One that plays by the establishment's rules, gets into office, and does right by the people. I'd love to see a president elected, and then drop out of his party.

 

[searpinski]

Trump > Cruz. I just hope the party doesn't pull what I think they're going to.

Just the fact that Donald bloviated about it so much was a tip off it was nonsense.

Ted Cruz is as close as you are going to come to that. He won't drop out of the party, but maybe he can do some house cleaning in the national party apparatus. Although Lord knows there is so much housecleaning to be done in the government itself.

Go Ted Go.

Agreed. I am far from a Trump supporter but if the guy gets to 1237 or close to it he deserves the nomination.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

He'd better hope he either hits that 1237 before the convention or he figures out how to play the delegate game quickly. It's not looking great for either one right now.

Sir Kut the Consistent is consistently principled.......

What makes you think Cruz isn't the latest candidate for patsy. Jeb! then Rubio and now Cruz were/are the establishment candidates (Cruz out of desperation)

Just because the establishment may be willing to take Cruz over Trump, does not mean he is a establishment candidate. It could be that they are willing to hold their nose and vote for him just like I see people on this site saying they will hold their nose and vote for x if y is their opponent. Also do you see Cruz as being a patsy?

Not exactly a surprise to anyone who has examined the issue.

But a little bit of a surprise that a New Jersey Judge ruled on it?
Or did he?


And yes, despite the fact that Ted was born to Hispanish speaking people in a French/British hybrid country that we have frequently been at war with, he's good to go.

Act 1 Scene 2: Yond Cruzius has a lean and hungry look.

That's what I love about our country. You can truly be anything you want to be!
