Yesterday, Leon posted on the epic gutlessness of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to say that Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen as understood under the 14th Amendment. In response to a media question, Priebus said:
Listen, I don't get involved. I'm not going to get in the middle of all these candidate issues. It's a bad place for me to be. I'll let all these folks argue about this stuff, and I'm going to stay out of it.
This is stunning when you think about it. The head of the RNC won’t even say that one of the two leading contenders for the GOP nomination is qualified to be president.
For all of her faults, and they are legion — in fact, I am struggling to think of her good qualities — Debbie Wasserman Schults, the chairman of the DNC can answer the question.
Cruz’s conservative positions on social issues and the role of government, issues such as health care, and bellicose rhetoric on foreign affairs make him anathema to Wasserman Schultz, who is a Democratic congresswoman from Weston in addition to her role as Democratic party chairwoman.
But, she said in response to a reporter’s question Monday at an unrelated event in Weston, she has no doubt that Cruz is legally eligible to serve.
“No, I have no doubt. Senator Cruz is a natural born citizen by virtue of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution,” Wasserman Schultz said.
This is a striking case of candor.
The easy thing for her to do would be to troll the GOP by expressing doubt — just like Reince Priebus. After all, one of her own, the deranged Alan Grayson, is filing a lawsuit challenging Cruz’s ability to run for president and her statement undercuts him. It would keep the pot boiling and create some amusement in a lot of circles. I don’t think Wasserman Schultz is so out of touch that she hasn’t read recent polls which show that Ted Cruz beats Hillary very handily in a head-to-head match up. It isn’t like helping Cruz is helping her interests.
It is really a shame when Wasserman Schultz shows more class and dignity than the RNC chair.
IT’S A TRAP!!

Because Rinse & Repeat is part of the GOPe and they can't have on outsider getting in. Especially, if the dummies are helping out.
One thing we know for sure: Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a zero-morals schemer for her own leftist purposes and never speaks out for any other reason than to promote herself or her side and has absolutely zero knowledge of our interest in the concept of truth, whatsoever.
From that I believe we can infer: the assertion made by some Cruz supporters that Cruz is the nominee who the rats fear the most is not true... at least not as it applies to Schultz and the people she shills for.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a chia pet.
Which is one reason the GOP is in disarray.
Doesnt really matter who says that he is or he isn’t. If he should get the nomination, he will be challenged on the issue and the challenge wont come from a Republican.
And those challenges will be dispensed with just like the dozens that were filed against BO.
Who is this Rinse Penis guy and why does he matter?
So is that good or bad in your opinion.
Well she's an idiot. If you don't believe me, listen to the other stuff she says.
Priebus said: Listen, I don’t get involved....
When I heard this yesterday.
I thought this should be your job as head of the RNC to vet these people for the debates so they are legitimate players.
Are they 35, lived here 14 years, are they NBC.
He sure made everyone sign the pledge, even though they may not be eligible.
Doesn’t matter what my opinion is, that’s just what will happen, history repeating itself.
LOL!
An 0bie Trap ;-)
He says in your link that it is for others to decide if he is a NBC or not. Now, he says it is settled? Who settled it?
Exactly. I am glad Ladyforest made me aware that he said this..it didn’t take too long for me to find the video.
Reince Preibus knows his party is.
