2016 Election

[Gramps]

Will Bill Ayers endorse Clinton or Sanders?

IIRC he is endorsing Ted Cruz.

 

[Grand Vol]

IIRC he is endorsing Ted Cruz.

Got your "I

the Donald" bumper sticker yet?

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Ted Cruz is now running Push Polls against Donald Trump.

Cruz dropped 6 points in Iowa while Trump's support went up. Cruz is getting a little desperate.

Mine does not run on coal, correct.

So you never plug it in? Ever? Or put gasoline in it (If no plug, and gas, then it is a dinosaur burner)

Also depends on where he lives. He may not have coal based electricity.

Interesting...the Des Moines Register failed to post poll results from Sunday until today...had they published on Monday, Rand would have qualified for the debate stage.

Should this new poll put Rand Paul back on the main debate stage? – Rare

Don't be obtuse. You get the point. They get great mileage, and that is a great thing, but most people that drive them things act as if they are not putting out any footprint, contributing to global warming:ermm: and all that crap. Moving our little pink bodies around is not free.

 

[theFallGuy]

What a joke. (also, Corker was only R to oppose)

Ted Cruz misses Audit the Fed vote as it fails to pass the senate – Rare

Were you calling out Ron Paul in the last election?

It's not about missing a vote, it's about missing this vote. Any true champion of small government would prioritize auditing the fed.

I have solar panels that provide a charge when I need it. So, yes I don't really have a carbon footprint when I drive it. Try again.

Even if they knew ahead of time that the bill was not going to pass? You've seen the numbers so you should know it didn't have a chance whether Cruz was there or not. People, including the person who wrote the article, are trying to make much more of this than what it is.

Those panels didn't produce any when they were manufactured? Will they last forever? What about your batteries? How are you going to dispose of them when the time comes? Where do new ones come from? Does it run on tires made of rubber? It is not free of impact. It is lessened to a great extent, but not free. Look, like I said, I think they are a good thing in terms of reducing your impact, but don't act like it is running on potato chips and exhausting drinking water.

But thanks for doing your part so I can continue to drive my 95 Buick. :good!:

Question to the board, if Cruz somehow out lasts Trump do many think the dems will push for supreme Court decision on his birth status? The "naturalized" citizen is obviously being argued now because his American birth mother but being born in Canada. The libs are just waiting in full force to throw it back after all the attacks on Obamas birth certificate.

Trump Trump Trump Trump marching all the way!

I doubt the Dems raise the issue but it would make for an interesting fight should they decide to.

I was going to be allowed on the debate stage, just not the main one. He chose not to participate.

Hell, Trump and Coulter are raising the issue right now. Someone's going to take it another step forward. There's actually an interesting constitutional issue to be resolved here.

Yes and I will add the Republicans are morons for not getting a court decision before allowing Cruz to run in the primaries. Imo.

This is something that could come back and bite them square on the butt. If it is a potential problem the sooner settled the better.

It should be fun if they take it to court. Truthfully if you go by the letter Cruz should be prevented from running but hell I'm not a dirty lawyer so what do I know.

By FBN's own criteria, he qualifies for the main debate stage with this poll. The only reason he isn't included is because this poll was released a few days late despite being conducted in the same period as polls that were taken into account.

I would think the good folks on here would love a GOP establishment conspiracy theory against an outsider candidate. This certainly seems questionable.

He's polling ahead of people they put on the main stage

Yep!

I don't think "natural-born citizen" has ever been defined in concrete terms. Does it mean that you have to be born on American soil, or simply an American citizen from birth?

The weird thing about the birther conspiracies is that the same justification used for Cruz (his mother was an American citizen) also validates Obama even if he was born in Kenya or wherever. It's a desperate strategy that only gets pulled out when the candidate in question gains momentum.

Jeb?

Along with Cristie and Kasich.
