Vote....Oh, wait...
Heh..
Is Churchill then less of a NBC than Cruz?
Does it seem reasonable that Churchill could have run for the US presidency legally as Cruz claims he can??
I like Cruz! But when you consider that Churchill was born under similar circumstances it feels less certain that Cruz is a NBC.
If Cruz can get a certification by congress of his NBC status or a federal court rules in his favor then I want him to someday become president...IMO his best shot is serving first as Trump's VP.
Churchill was born in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, on November 30, 1874, to Lady Randolph Churchill (Jennie Jerome), who was born in the United States, and to Lord Randolph Churchill, a British citizen. Hence, Churchill was like Cruz born out of the United States to what Cruz would consider a U.S. citizen mother and a non-U.S. citizen father.
BTW, I'm NOT blowing smoke up anyone's ass here! I do really like Cruz... If it were all up to me and I got to choose the next president I would choose Cruz. He's very smart, I don't think he is actually a supporter of amnesty...having no funds to run a campaign forces him to give lip-service to big donors dreams of an open-border... but I seriously doubt he would please those donors once he was in office. (all candidates lie to get the $$$ to run) I don't think he could win in the general though...but after serving as Trump's VP I think he could end up as president. Trump could even resign office early and elevate him to the presidency.
I'm all in for Trump because I think he is the only one that can actually win against the dem candidate...whoever that ends up being... but I am fond of Cruz and hope that he can someday serve as president... he is young still and has plenty of time. I do admit he has made a few mistakes lately that have made me wince (like the bromance with loser Beck and the vote-shaming silliness) OUCH! :-(
I'm saying a prayer that freepers can come together after Trump wins Iowa Monday! The Trump supporters should refrain from too much gloating...I know it will be hard to do. I will be making posts hoping that Trump and Cruz decide to kiss and make up after the Iowa results are in.
17-4-1 so far. What is that? Crazy.
Who ever the nominee is, my only wish is that the GOPe will get what it so richly deserves and the voters actually get a leader who gives a hoot about US citizens and the US Constitution.
I clicked the link for yesterday results but it was still 404. need to try again I guess.
We will see.Be looking tomorrow morning.

Not one early vote! Whoo-hoo!
I would like to see Trump and Cruz fight together. I with you, I think the NBC would be a big issue in the general election.
I say Trump wins Iowa, by 10%- or more. I won’t be gloating or spiking the football, because I am very confident and have no need to denigrate the field. I’m glad and thankful that the Cruz supporters have stopped the attacks and insults (for the most part) on the Trump rally threads. Cruz HAS an NBC issue. Plain and simple. HE needs to get to the bottom of it. Either we are a nation of laws or we aren’t. Cruz diminishes his chances the longer he allows the issue to drag out. He invites enmity and causes derision, by allowing a cloud of doubt to swirl about his credentials. For that, he is directly responsible, and earns the ire of the voting faithful. A bad decision- in the end. Not very presidential. Dude! Either you are NBC good to go- or you are not. Put up or shut up.
The supporters of all the repub candidates must come together!
It seems Trump will start running the table beginning Monday in Iowa.
If Trump supporters (I’m one) act like assholes that will make it very hard to bring everyone in for the general.
So be magnanimous... act like you would want Cruz supporters to act if Cruz won an Monday.... BTW, I’d be fine with Cruz in the white house!
Cruz needs the NBC settled and soon...if it is settled I think he may wind up as Trump’s VP and then as president later on.
I noticed that too. I'z happy :-)
Good catch.
Over to Doughty.
I noticed that the other day as well, but was busy moping up some other problems.
It’s an easy fix. I’ll try to remember it tomorrow evening.
I appreciate the mention.
Beats me. I'm not tracking here.
What's the significance of those numbers?
Thanks again for the thread.
You and Lonely Bull seem to be holding down the fort.
Nice thread.
