It’s about how we’ve been treated and a staunch conservative warrior has been treated for months by Trump and his followers. YES it matters, because he or his fans were really interested in CONSERVATIVE solutions and saving the country, they’d realize how invaluable Cruz is to that cause. Any conservative. Not one person on this forum had a problem with Cruz OR true Conservatism before Trump and Co came around. So yes, it MATTERS. If he wants the votes of the Conservative base, he and his fans need to quit slapping them in the face.

Has nothing to do with how I make my decisions. It’s common sense and it’s just a little advice.

The simple fact that you called him ineligible totally discredits you.

Get off it and move on. The smart people all over the place disagree with you, including the founders. Go find another conspiracy to peddle.

What about that means she needs to be “looked into”?

I still don’t understand why Bill Pryor is getting a pass. He has more than one very troubling and anticonstitutional decision under his belt.

Please, for one who is criticizing Trump supporters’ treatment of Cruz supporters, I would suggest you look in the mirror, because Trump supporters don’t own the monopoly on snark.

Trump supporters are “really interested in CONSERVATIVE solutions and saving the country,” We really are, and it hurts when you Cruz supporters imply otherwise.

May I remind you that owner of the forum has posted time and time again how Trump has many conservative positions.

Please, with all due respect, don’t state as fact that which is not true...Uhhh actually ONE PERSON HAD A PROBLEM with Cruz and “his true conservatism”.... and that person is ME!!!! Please stop posting that everyone loved him until Trump came on the scene...it is not true.

Oh, I wanted to like Cruz; but I could not, and I did not like Cruz and didn’t think he was true conservative. BTW< I am pretty sure the H-1B Visa Ping list members did not like him either because of his consistently UN-CONSERVATIVE stand for over 2 years of wanting to increase H-1B Visas by 500 PERCENT.

If I let every slap in the face I have received from a person on this forum upset me, I would not be here for 16 years....it should not matter.

Sorry, I don’t base my vote on Cruz supporter retorts, and I WILL not allow Hillary to be installed just because of someone (like you) upsetting me.

“The smart people all over the place disagree with you, including the founders. Go find another conspiracy to peddle.”

I’d suggest you go to the US study guide for taking the US Citizen’s Test. It asks the question “Who is eligible to be President?”

Answer....”Persons born in the US to 2 citizen parents.”

Funny how foreigners have to know about who is eligible, but you don’t.....(I learned in grammar school in the 1950’s.)

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and B. Obama, are not only ineligible, they are exactly the type of persons the Founders didn’t want as President. Look at the results from Obama’s rouge presidency allowed through PC NONSENCE.....Had we listened to the Founders we wouldn’t be in this mess!

This is NOT a conspiracy, it is adherence to the Constitution. You can look it up! Article II requires a candidate to be a NBC. The USSC has defined in NBC in numerous court decisions. It has always maintained a NBC as ...”born in the US to citizen parents.”
Looks at ASA Vet’s about page for a full treatise. (He, like me, ARE a “smart” persons. You can be too, if you drop your willful ignorance and look things up..)

Here are links to start your education.

The LAST thing the US needs after 8 years of an anti American President is a Globalist for President.....one who has a record of voting for TPA, AND TPP. Luckily for us Ted Cruz has self destructed so the point is moot.

Yep I agree, time for you to move on and support TRUMP.
He has my vote and those of millions of other Americans. If he doesn’t get yours???? He’ll be President anyway!

Your choice......with 3 USSC justices up for appointment it is vital that Hillary NOT be the one making the choices. We already know who Trump will consider for the USSC....They are easy to vet now/today. These are people that will have a profound effect on our society in the next 30 years.

Question?.... Have you seen the pictures of Ted vacationing in Mexico since he “suspended” his campaign? Shouldn’t he be back in the Senate serving the people who elected him to represent them? Doesn’t seem to concern him.....sigh!

No. Let’s not talk about exactly the kind of people the founders didn’t want as president or else if I’m honest, I’ll get booted from FR from mentioning it.

But I suggest you do some studying on the founders before attacking one of the only constitutionalists left standing in politics that actually has the balls to expose corruption and not participate in it for his own financial gain.

Baloney. I’ve read the citizenship test and study guides before and I’ve never seen that on there. Care to source?

Regardless, a study guide does not trump the words of the founders.

Oh just saw the question about Cruz in Mexico. Gee wiz, he hasn’t been there the whole time since he suspended. I’m pretty sure he’s there this celebrating his 15 year anniversary. I think that’s great. Family first. If he didn’t do something special, you guys would be berating him for neglecting his wife. He can’t win with his haters
Sheesh.

Everything needs to be looked into, remember the liberals will do it if conservatives don’t first.

Yawn....

The Canadian born son of a pro Castro Cuban running for US President is a Constitutional Conservative?

Who knew? (Maybe he should actually read the Constitution before making that claim. Starting with Article II.)

Yawn........so you Know that ONLY Natural Born Citizens are eligible?

Try telling Ted, Rubio, or whatever foreign born non NBC they aren’t eligible!

“He can’t win with his haters....”

It isn’t hate. He’s a US Senator, elected by the State of Texas. The Senate is in session. He should be there representing his constituents.

Take off the blinders. The party’s over on this guy. Circle around to my first post. As true now as it was when I posted it. Sorry if you can’t see it. Take some vitamins.
