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.

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.

[ifinnegan]

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.

[Norm Lenhart]

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.

[TexasCajun]

I could live with a Trump/Cruz winning ticket.

Cruz, VP & President of the Senate!!

..becoming McConnell's boss.

[mrsmith]

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.

McConnell: No, Senate won’t pass resolution affirming Cruz’s eligibility like it did for McCain

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.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“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.

Thanks Mitch! I’m sure the Cruz campaign appreciates the unintended endorsement.

[Hostage]

Corruptocrat McConnell
Cruz Eligibility
Fraud McCain
Senate Resolution? NO <— Entirely Pedictable

Fact: Cruz is Eligible
Action: Primary McWeasel

[Bullish]

McConnell’s about as useful as a poop stain.

[KC_Lion]

Wow, The Uniparty unites against Cruz.

What a Shock.

[Cboldt]

No sweat. The GOP has certified that Cruz is qualified.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Precedent Obama has rendered that clause moot.
Under the current definition of simply being born a citizen, if even only on one’s mother’s side, makes every anchor baby and Winston Churchill eligible. (his mother was an American)

I went to school in the 1960’s and was taught that natural born citizen was a subset of citizen and required only for the office of President. Must be born here to citizen parents. Reading the writings of the people who wrote the Constitution confirms this. They wanted no divided allegiance. If you could be anything other than a U.S. citizen, you can’t be a natural born citizen. No foreign births, no foreign parents.

Many people wanted the definition changed for various reasons.

One of the reasons was to make McCain eligible, which benefitted the current usurper.

Stuck in the middle! I see "living Constitution" proponents on one side claiming any and all citizens at birth are natural born. And I see "uniparty progressives" on the other side doing everything they can to hurt someone nearly as much a strict Constitutionalist as I am. I want Cruz to assume office with a promise as President he will press the Supreme Court for review of original intent regarding natural born citizenship. Let Chester Arthur be the first ineligible POTUS, Barack Obama be the middle ineligible POTUS, and Ted Cruz be the last ineligible POTUS. The schadenfreude would be delicious.
