One more reason I wouldn’t pi$$ on The Turtle if he was on fire.

I refused to vote for him this last time around. Not that my vote counted for much.

That was 2013.

Aren’t people entitled to change their minds?

Trump and the RINOs working together to stop the real and best conservative candidate.

Cruz isn’t ‘fumbling away’ anything. His detractors are doing their level best to take him out on a technicality.

Prince Rebus thinks he can work with Trump better than Cruz.

Rebus thinks Trump is the lesser challenge to the GOPe.

Probably a miscalculation on his part.

Thank God we elected all those lesser evils to protect us from conservatives.

McConnell, better be careful what we sows now or a Cruz presidency in the future will steamroll him.

Well, Trump is more liberal than Cruz so it would stand to reason that the GOPe would feel more comfortable dealing with him than Cruz.

Anything for Rubio...

I don’t think the GOP will give up until after the convention.
Which is good: we don’t have to worry about them coming to a compromise, favorable to RINOs, with Cruz or Trump.
After the convention the GOP will have little choice and little to offer.

It really shouldn't matter since whatever Mitch "0bama's Bitch" and his RINO cronies say doesn't amount to a hill of beans and doesn't change the facts. The SCOTUS is the one to interpret The Constitution.

No, not on this. Unless it is some new piece of evidence that he found. This is a Constitutional question. He studied under Professor Tribe. He has argued before SCOTUS.

He is a brilliant man.

He knew then..he knows now. It is not settled law.He just needs to say it is now because he is running for POTUS.

He knows better.

Of course, it could very well be in this climate that he would be deemed eligible to run.

But it is not settled law. He knows it.

According to those here on FR, they aren’t if they’re name is “Donald Trump”....

So did 0bama. So did they ALL about 0bama.

The point’s moot now.

“The Senate previously issued a resolution [in 2008] confirming then-nominee John McCain’s eligibility to serve as president. The Arizona senator was born on a military base in Panama to American parents.”

Which carried absolutely zero legal authority.

So in 2013 he still had joint citizenship??
I thought you had to make that request shortly after your 18th birthday!
