LJ,
I just did and humbly agree to disagree with you.
TTM
I think that conservatives need to stick together and support each other. Rush is not supporting us. He only wants us to support him.

While I have benefitted at times from his ability to present analyses, you encapsulate and express very well the suspicion and disquiet I have had about him for many years.
I will say, though, that the team which has been producing his children’s books is really a good one. I’ve enjoyed those of the ones I’ve read so far.
So you think that someone who thinks being born on foreign soil to a foreign national father and holds dual citizenship most of his life is a Natural Born Citizen?
If so, than 0bola’s pretend life would make him a NBC too.
Apparently you have not looked into what Natural Born Citizen means and why the founders specifcally required ONLY the President and VP to be NBCs.
Totally agree with your analysis. Like you, I apologize to his many fans. I have never been a fan, although I have honestly tried to listen to him. Cannot take more than 5 minutes of his self-aggrandizing blather.

Thank you both for your thoughtful replies.
I REALLY appreciate when someone can disagree with me using facts and reason as you have done.
We may not see eye to eye on the topic of Rush, but I appreciate your views. Maybe he is just not a good match for me. I will acknowledge that I agree with him on most topics, so he has that going for him. As long as he is doing more good than harm to the conservative/anti-DeepState agenda, as long as he is helping us move the ball forward, I can live with his differences in style.
Thanks again for your views, fellow patriots!
and shut down his records...
but I still like him for SCOTUS.
So, if a natural born citizenship issue came before SCOTUS, how do you think he would rule?
He’s dishonest.
You’re assuming he holds dual citizenship, I wouldn’t be so sure, unless you’re saying Cuban/Canadian? I would hazard a guess that young mama Cruz probably didn’t register the birth abroad with the U.S. govt, oopsie.
as soon as you can show me the definition of NBC in the constitution...
since you can’t...then get congress to define NBC...
when you do, then I’ll let you know.
I guess you didn’t read the intensive research threads on the subject. If you had, you’d have a clue about what the founders meant by, and was commonly understood to be until about 20-30 years ago, natural born citizen.
Cruz said he held Canadian citizenship! He said he renounced it once the topic was broached publicly. So he was either a dual citizen, unless he was solely Canadian, which is unlikely as his mother was a US citizen. There were mutterings that his mother had renounced her US citizenship while living in England.
But at the very least Cruz was a dual citizen.
Good analysis on Rush but I will tell you that he most definitely went to a movie over Rubio. If I find the time I will gladly give you the details of what day he was blubbering on about him and actually compared him to Reagan.
*no idea how the word movie got in there! Dang autocorrect

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH AN UNIDENTIFIED SOURCE
This is a case study in the genesis and propagation of fake news. It supports the view that we should never believe anything that comes from the New York Times, if it is attributed to an unidentified source. Reporters cannot be trusted.
The subject is President Trumps meeting with Kim Jong-un. Mollie Hemingwayan increasingly important commentatorhas the story at The Federalist. It starts with a media meme, the claim that Trump was so desperate to get a win that he likely would make a bad deal. (They misspelled Obama.)...
My impression in my spirit is that a handful of the more intensely spiritual folks on these threads would do well to consult together and pray and determine a span of days that The Lord might use them to call us to fast and pray for POTUS TRUMP, Q-Anon and the fight against evil. imho, individvuals could pray and fast as The Lord led them--whether one meal that day or sunset one day to sunset the next or meat for 3-7 days or whatever fits and they feel led to do. But the 'steering committee' would consult together and pray for what span of days for us to do our individual fasting within. Say June 10th to June 30th or some such.
Am praying about trying to get word to POTUS to feel free to formally call the nation to prayer. Certainly the witches are calling one another to casting spells against POTUS' efforts and the efforts of all of good heart with him.
Anyway--this is my proposal. If it meets with y'all's sense in your spirits, how about suggesting names for the steering committee to deliberate on what span of days to call us to extra earnest prayer and fasting. N'est Pa?
As a Texan who has known, supported, and appreciated the work of Ted Cruz for most of his political career. I find your narrow-minded opposition to him as SCOTUS justice to be narrow-minded, ill-founded and delusional.
Just as I cannot comprehend the "Never Trump!" mentality, neither can I comprehend nor countenance your "Never Cruz!" monomania when it comes to SCOTUS service.
As a conservative Constitutional scholar, debater, -- and particularly one with unique experience working directly with and for the SCOTUS -- there is simply no other person in America who even comes close to Ted's qualification for appointment as Supreme Court Justice.
Cruz for President? No.
Cruz for SCOTUS Justice? ABSOLUTELY!!
