It would be extremely difficult to accept that the child of an American citizen who happened to be born while she was on vacation out of the country would not automatically be a U.S. citizen. I guess upon landing at the U.S. airport, immigration authorities should’ve seized the baby and deported it to the custody of a foreign country’s foster care center.
Give me a break. Cruz is a natural-born citizen.
The genitalia that the GOPe would enjoy marketing against Hillary next year?
Because letting the Democrats’ false slogans define who our candidate should be is always a good move.
Cruz also has no ties to the establishment.
I’m more comfortable knowing that someone went into the heart of the lion’s den in D.C., was faced with all the pressure to vote their way, but stuck to his principles and refused. We have no idea if Carson would fold under that kind of pressure but we know Cruz won’t.
The V.P.s only duty is to break ties in the Senate. So it would be logical to have a Senator do it. Nevermind that Trump’s “evolving” on his positions brings him close to Cruz on the issues.
But Trump said last week when asked about his V.P. by Newsmax that he was thinking about finding someone who would help in a swing state like Ohio and Florida among other strategical concerns. He was all about winning, not about principle.
If Cruz goes for strategy, Rubio would make sense. He shores up Florida, has the young/good-looking angle for the women’s vote, has the emotionalism in his speeches that Cruz doesn’t really specialize in, and doubles-down on getting Latino votes.
It’s pretty easy to sniff out a true conservative woman and Fio-RINO definitely isn’t it. She feels like a clone of Dana Pe-RINO.
Regardless of affirmative action, Obama has set back race relations in the US by more than 50 years, now advocating those who would support slavery (Muslims) than any policy promoted by God.
We almost need Carson in office to offset the public policy appearances to the black community recently promoted by Obama, so the next generation isn’t as racially bigoted as Obama.
And supports illegal immigration. No Rubio, please.
Cruz’s disadvantage is that outsiders (non political types) don’t necessarily see it that way. And that may be the reason why Carson has passed him. No political insider is doing particularly well right now. Fortunately the difference in their poll numbers is not large. Perhaps Cruz can change people’s minds.
Don’t count on Rubio helping anyone in Florida. There is a reason he’s not defending his senate seat. When he first won the senate, he did so with less than 50% of the vote. The total for Charlie Crist, the independent, and the total for the democrat running against him combined, were more than the votes Rubio received.
Since winning the Senate seat, the TEA parties who had supported him have come to resent his stabbing them in the back. Nothing like the gang of 8, Chuck Schumer, Mark Zuckerberg and non stop amnesty to turn off conservative Floridians. Rubio has some big problems down here.
I call it the Joe Biden effect - he's Black, clean literate and speaks without resorting to Ebonics....
I like Dr, Carson but sincerely hope he isn't our choice - he'd do even worse than Romney in the general.
He’ll do worse than McGovern. Blacks sure aren’t going to vote for him. Write this down: There will be no more blacks on a national ticket during our lifetimes.
No arguments there - even w/o a female president to date, it’s likely also true of them too after the Hillary deal and the “Carly Factor” as it devolves.
Pretty much. Oh yeah, he's not a career politician. Its amazing that in the eyes of some, the color of skin makes people do and say things they normally wouldn't.
Prime example was Megan Kelly. When she gushed over the performance of Ben Carson in the debates. The only thing she cited was his joke about people with half a brain in Washington DC. Really? Is that what we've come to? One liners win debates like open mike night at the local club?
As someone on this thread said:
“There’s a percentage of Republicans who pine for a black Republican candidate to prove Republicans aren’t racist. So they glom onto any black conservative and instantly elevate him to status of presidential candidate that they never would do for a white candidate with the same credentials; Watts, Keyes, Cain, now Carson. It’s the conservative version of affirmative action.”
RE; Dr. Carson and his ‘research’, connection to Sharpton; There’s just too much smoke not to be any fire.
Why take a chance with this man when we have Cruz?
Fio-RINO

You are 100% correct JediJones. Trump will not need a Texan on the Ticket. Texas is deep Red. He can save Cruz for the SCOTUS.
Yes, every one of the rich sugar daddy’s have an ulterior motive. Have you ever known a sugar daddy in real life? If you run into him, ask him if he is spending all that money just from kindness of his heart, or because he gets from her what he really wants.
In case of Cruz, why do you think he wants legal immigration to double and H1-B visa’s increased FIVE fold?
Yap, his sugar daddy’s want the cheap labor express increased!
