AMEN to that!
He is also incredibly smart, well educated, and articulate
Now place of birth will be an issue for the Treasoncrats.
I didn’t say you were tearing Walker down.
Read my posts.

Huckabee lives in FL now, I believe. Evangelicals do not see him as a “socialist” from Arkansas but as a viable choice. He would practically work to deflect votes from Cruz if Cruz runs, and I am not convinced that he will. If so, I would favor Cruz over all the others by far.
Of the likely challengers, I think only Scott Walker will be able to address this challenge adequately. None of the others have the accomplishments, especially under fire.
(I'm assuming Gov. Palin is not a "likely" contender at this time; she seems positioned to be more of a kingmaker than a candidate as things currently stand.)
How concerned should we be over Cruz’s Canadian birth? You know that will be used against him. Even though Obama has gotten away with it, we all know it isn’t a level playing field.
I guess it depends upon how you look at the state makeup and how they vote:
After the Nov. 2014 elections the state legislature is as follows:
If initial results hold, Republicans will run the Senate 19-14 and the Assembly 63-36. Those margins are not final, with GOP victories in two Assembly races very narrow.
Ted Olson argued Bush v. Gore.
I dunno about this.
I think Sarah could be a liability to the Cruz ticket.
While Republicans and Conservatives typically like her, the 20% unfavorability on our side and with moderate voters, and the nearly 100% unfavorability on the left, that might be a tough ticket to support for many American voters.
Really ..??
Ted Olson was not appointed until Bush took office .. and at the time of the 2000 election, Bush was Governor of TX; so it had to be Cruz.
The campaign might have hired Olson to help in the “recount” .. but it was Cruz’s job to defend his Governor.
You and I both know that if Cruz starts gaining real traction then the MSM and Washington elites will attack with both hands and both feet with any and every issue they can think of.
Looks like the Establishment Republicans are going to start pumping Amnesty Walker here sooner than I expected..

I wouldn’t be concerned, period.
Naysayers to the contrary, he is eligible under the law making him a citizen “at birth”. Because the controlling law recognized the truth that he was born to an American citizen mother. That the mother had a job in Canada at the time is not controlling. And the controlling law at the time did not, repeat not, require that his father have the same status as his American mother had.
This is old news.
Could someone try to make hay out of it?
What, the liars on the left lie about Cruz and the law??
However, Jim Rob says Cruz is good to go, and he won’t allow a thread highjacking over it. Believe me.
2nd generation American whose father suffered under the kind of state-establishments produced by the human nature America’s founders wanted to protect us from.
No Ivy league edumacation required.
CRUZ 16!
"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens"

I think the folks who wrote that back in 1790 would vote for Cruz.
Thanks. That really helps me understand. We know his opponents will misrepresent the law and his status for the sole purpose of public opinion. Hopefully he and his team can overcome it.
We all know that they will. Thank you much for your knowledgeable response txrangerette. I really appreciate it.
