Just so Trump can get in.
It blows my mind that so many here are willing to disregard this just so Cruz can get in..completely forgetting what a nightmare and quigmire has been the reign of the Muslim Dictator and his Iranian puppetmaster
Just so Trump can get in.
RE: It blows my mind that so many here are willing to disregard this just so Cruz can get in.
The author is not telling us to disregard the constitution. He is arguing that this portion of the requirement for Presidency should be amended.
The notion that Ted Cruz would be as horrible as Obama is ridiculous, and completely unworthy of someone whom I regard as a thinking person.
It would have been difficult to get someone as bad as Obama. I think the average Frenchman off the streets of Paris would have protected the interests of the United States better than that affirmative action buffoon.
I believe Ted Cruz would put the interests of the US ahead of either Canada or Cuba. It is a silly notion that he would demonstrate any kind of bias in favor of either nation.
Use Obama as a horrible example all you want - but the reality is and was that if the Framers could have prevented so-called "liberals" from ever being named president for all of time, they would have done it. But that is a fantasy. Bill and Hill - and their parents and AFAIK their grandparents - were "Born in the USA." And So was FDR, and LBJ, and Jimmy Carter. There was no criterion which the founders could possibly have instituted which would have prevented their ascendency.If you want to assure Americanism, you would do far better to concern yourself with the sort of upbringing and education the person has. Obama was, perhaps, born in the USA. In any event he is not the only one born in the USA to decide to hate Americans. But he was raised a red diaper baby, and he was educated in a foreign culture.
Ted Cruz was not born in Texas, he might well say, "but I got here as soon as I could." His father was born in Cuba and, pretty much, he "got out as soon as he could." Ted Cruz memorized the Constitution while he was a teenager. He could undoubtedly list a provision, or more than one, that he would change by constitutional means. So could you, and so could I. Barak Obama could do that, too - but in his case, there would not be much of anything left but his amendments.
