Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz to launch presidential bid

Was not born in the United States. Freshmen senator has only held elective office for 2 years. Has not released his college transcripts.

 

More of the same old same old.

That was Barak Hussein Obama was it not?

 

To be fair, Cruz as a junior law partner, has little say in where his law firm contributed money.

 

I was posting that more for these parts:

 

Interesting guy. Not afraid to speak his mind.

He should make it interesting, but the odds are stacked against him in the Republican party leadership. They're a lot ideologically closer to being democrats than he is.

 

Smart guy with some outlier opinions that frankly are not in the mainstream of the electorate. Don't see him having a real chance. If by some turn of events he becomes the nominee, it will be a walk to the presidency for the Democratic Party.

 

He doesn't qualify to hold the office of POTUS. He is not a natural born citizen of this country.

Not that the law matters as far as politicians are concerned anymore.

 

Explain please. As far as I have been able to tell, he does qualify as a natural born citizen under the law.

 

I don't remember Matt, did you say that Obama was a natural born citizen?

Cruz's father was born in Cuba. His mother in the US. He, Curz, was born in Canada. He held a dual citizenship, US and Canadian. I do not know what Cuba says about his status, maybe they consider him a Cuban national.
