Seems that we need a lawsuit to challenge Cruz so we can get a clear ruling from the courts on what natural born means.

Most articles seem to cite legal experts as saying he would be considered natural born as his mother was a USC at his birth, but really who knows how the courts would rule.

Doesn't seem there is enough clarity on this topic.

The Donald was in Vermont and was heckled by some of the crowd. He had them thrown out. What a guy

Heard that if he becomes president he's going to try to annex Canada

Would that be a Muslim woman, who was not actually heckling?

Not heckling, but provoking.

I think you've answered your own question. Rubio is young and inexperienced, not a particularly exceptional debater or inspirational speaker, and he would look childish going up against Bernie or Hillary. He's not particularly novel either, he's the second anti-immigration Cuban in the race. With that said, I don't see his pathway. Which states does he take? Who makes up his coalition?

Rubio would be a good choice imo. Too bad he's faring so poorly in the polls right now.
Kasich is not inspirational and he certainly doesn't present a macho enough persona. Truthfully, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Kasich --- which pretty much makes him unelectable in a Republican primary.

He'll probably get Lindsey Graham's supporters. All two of them.

Donald Trump questions whether Cruz can be president - BBC News
Yeah, that's so awesome. The otherizing of Cruz. So much for Trump's "rule" about only attacking those who attack him first, but then again Trump is a degenerate liar --- we knew that.

His remark about evangelicals not normally coming out of Cuba just shows how depraved Trump really is and, more to the point, how depraved his followers are.

The longer this goes on the more Cruz scares me more than Trump.

And, as things stand right now, he's going to take Iowa.

I've said it before, this primary has taught me to fear new things. I've spent the past few years with Ted Cruz starring as the foil in my worst political nightmare. That was until Trump and Carson came along and gave me all new nightmares. I honestly don't know who would be worse, Trump or Cruz? Somebody needs to tell me who the real boogey man is.

Cruz did attack Trump, by having the temerity to catch him in the polls. Most of Trump's appeal is that he dominates the polls. Once that's gone, there's not much left, and he'll follow Carson into obscurity.

Of course that doesn't mean that Cruz is a better prospect.

If Trump doesn't get the nomination this time around (after leading in the polls for six plus months), you can imagine he'll be back next time - either as a Republican or Independent.
