That is what NPR reported. If their reporting was erroneous that is on them and I remain unsurprised by that fact.

But of course you failed to bring up what Ted said as he was kicking off his Presidential campaign. I just knew that nasty little fact would leave you speechless on the true character of Ted Cruz. Because it is easier to point out something that might be untrue, and ignore what your own candidate actually said about the banks he was doing business with.

Disingenuous.

I agree with his comment, and find it completely consistent with his behavior as senator and as presidential candidate.

As for who's been disingenuous in our discussion, thats best left to anyone who happens to be reading it.

What fascinates me is that I am hard-pressed to find a single Cruz backer who is willing to critically assess Cruz's support by so many Establishment people.

If you will make a good faith effort to not dismiss my response outright, I'll take a stab at your request. As part of this good faith, please note that I'm going to explain the Establishment's motivations, but these motivations should not be construed to indicate Cruz agrees with them.

Cruz is being supported by the Establishment because they have found someone they detest more than Cruz. They are cozying up to Cruz because they hope this support is remembered if and when Cruz is the leader of the party. If Trump gets the nomination, the Establishment can expect scorched earth among themselves (personal threat) and many truly believe Trump will be a disaster as a candidate (organizational/party threat). So, they are looking to Cruz as the only man who can prevent a mixture of personal and party damage.

Given this, it is silly to think that the Establishment wouldn't endorse/support someone, and they've rightly decided supporting Kashich is a waste of time (can't win) and supporting Hillary is not what Republicans do (except Trump - ha!).

You have a Biblical level of delusion to support a known and bragging adulterer and claim you are a Conservative.

Yeah while taking loans from them, yep that's consistency. Consistently a hypocrite. Watch my lips folks or my pretty assistant, but pay no attention to my hands.

Unlike you, I don't worry about what others say, either in support or in criticism. Instead I just call a spade a spade, Mr. Disingenuous.

Right. It all boils down to what your gut says, doesn’t it.

Well this guy says your man is not even eligible to become the President of the United States because he is not a natural born citizen.

So I guess dumping the Constitution is just dandy as far as you are concerned.

BTW, I could have just reversed your lame deduction that required very little in thought process, but then I would have been even more lame than you. I'm too old to stoop that low.

“Having extensively reviewed all articles cited in this opinion, as well as many others, this Court holds, consistent with the common law precedent and statutory history, that a ‘natural born citizen’ includes any person who is a United States citizen from birth,” wrote Judge Dan Pellegrini in a written opinion issued after denied the petition at a hearing Thursday.

BTW are you wearing a long black robe like Judge Dan Pellegrini?

Didn't think so.

LOL, he is a Democrat. Of course he wants to subvert the Constitution.

Problem is his mother had become a Canadian citizen as she was on the voter rolls in Canada. At that time Canada did not recognize dual citizenship. So she had to have in fact renounced her American citizenship. Pellegrini's assessment is as worthless as he is.

You're a hoot, that only a judge is qualified to determine what a natural born citizen is.

Enjoy your brave new world where America is absolutely no different than any other country.

DT has called both Ryan and McConnell, too. But, the establishment knows Cruz, and while I think he will abide by the constitution, they know that they can use their balance of power against him.

DT uses lawyers as his attack dogs. Will DT use the FBI, NSA, IRS, and DOinJ against the GOPe and more importantly, can someone who buys politicians be bought? I’m asking you because you think about things.
