Ted Cruz is in.

The 2016 contest for the White House will get its first official big-name entrant Monday, in a move likely to upend the dynamics of the nascent presidential race.

Sen. Ted Cruz, the combative conservative who has made liberty the clarion call of his politics, will announce his intention to pursue a presidential bid Monday morning at Liberty University here, according to a campaign adviser.

tHE THING I WORRY ABOUT IS THAT Ted Cruz actually believes the psychologically deranged shit that he spiels. Not sure if he's just dangerous or dangerous and evil.

 

[Mxylplyx]

Are there any large GOP donors who are dumb enough to think this guy has the slightest hope of winning? I figure anyone who throws their money behind him is merely buying influence over him in his current position in the senate.

 

[sportage]

CNN: Ted Cruz, I'm In.

And me too, hell I'm in. And you're in. Hell lets all get in.
And Billy, and Scooby, and we can use dads barn and put on a show, and dress Nutz the cat up like an elephant, and and and ......

Have you seen the type of people who support the GOP? Plenty of stupid to go around

 

[Sunburn74]

LOL. Jerry Falwell's university as the place to announce. This guy is dead in the water.

 

[pcgeek11]

And the Dems have Hillary Clinton, that blond haired Indian woman Warren and Al Gore for gods sake.

Your brain defect is showing.

what do you think is the most "psychologically deranged" thing he's ever said that is dangerous or dangerous and evil? (Other than him possibly saying that you shouldn't be able to steal my money to pay for your medical expenses)

I'd be interested in your top 3 if you have more than 1.

I'll donate $50 to him in your name.

Personally, I hope the USSC determines that, because he was born in Canada, and NOT to a member of the US military serving in that country, he does NOT meet the "native-born" standard required to hold the presidency.

IMO, while his mother was a US citizen, he was born in Canada and lived in Canada for several years...and was a Canadian citizen at birth. While his American mother might make him a US citizen, he is NOT a "native born" citizen.

BUT, of course, the USSC has a definite conservative tilt to it...so that will never happen. IF they ever take up the question, I have no doubt they'll decide in his favor.

(but dammit, I can hope)

lol, I'm as right-wing as they come and this is a sad post. Do you really think Ted Cruz is a fringe candidate without the slightest hope of winning the nomination?

Actually the Native Born was defined before:

The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated that:

" The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth," either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen. "

Ted Cruz: So crazy, even Hillary Clinton looks like a better alternative.

 

[VRAMdemon]

Lol!..Ted 'Honkin' Cruz thinks there are enough crazy people and fascists to vote him into office...How can you not look at him and see the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy? He must be just boosting his profile for the inevitable Fox show and speaking tour that he will embark on after one term in the Senate.

 

[Linux23]

He looks like a Friggin Muppet.

 

[boomerang]

Primary freak show? The OP has been here since 2006. Simple math tells us that the OP joined up here at the age of seven. Normally, I would be impressed but in this case, not so much.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

The left doesn't like Cruz because he's Hispanic.

 

[cbrunny]

Ted Cruz is in? I'm in too! It'll be a battle of the Canadians for President of the United States!

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Cruz was on Latenight with Seth Meyers (did anyone know about this beforehand other than Cruz fans?) last week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fq2YdZ2qWA
There are better videos, but that's the only one I found that's the whole interview. I hadn't seen him in action outside of his wingnut bubble and wondered how he'd come off in "mainstream appeal" mode. I wonder no longer.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Does this mean that the Righthadist will go after him because he is not a natural born citizen of the US?

 

[GTaudiophile]

Ted ain't goin' nowhere. Neither is Jeb...and neither is Hillary.

I want someone from Left Field...or Right...to come in and steal the show! Spoil all the would-be pretenders to the crown who feel they have a birth right!

<--- Still wish Condi Rice would throw her hat into the game just for giggles!

I hear you are a real Obama fan, always giving him the benefit of the doubt in the interest of bi-partisanship. Let me know if you need help sounding out any of these words.
