Ha, ha, ha… breathe… ha, ha, ha… yer killin’ me.
Lyin’ Ted Cruz, perhaps the most inauthentic intentional stutterer in politics, thinks he’s going to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024 because he was the runner up in 2016. No, seriously, he does. WATCH:

.
D’oh. Grandma’s rule.
Why is this idea so weird? Why wouldn’t the Repubs want someone like Cruz or Pence? If you’re saying Cruz is too hard for the Repubs and 4th Branch to control then I get it. But in general, why wouldn’t the Repubs put in someone they like, just like the Dems did with Biden and Harris?
I ask because I’m not a Republican and they do a lot of screwy things.
You’ve not actually paid attention to anything you’ve ever read on this board if you can post that in even remote sincerity. Why are you here? And I ask that sincerely, not rudely. If not to learn why bother?
What do the Repubs have to do with Conservatives or Maga candidates They destroyed Trump and you expect them to give him the nomination?
Maybe time to wake up??
Because the Tea Party ie Trump had to run in the Republican ticket. He used the party, it was a great move. If you haven’t noticed that all conservatives run on the R ticket, you have lied. We are the base and the bulk of the Republican party.
Yeah, the Tea Party. And how’d that work out? They all immediately joined the swamp when they got to D.C. Considering yourselves the base and bulk of the Republican Party in the face of the GOP’s corruption and cowardice is probably something you should all reconsider.
We are the base and the bulk of the Republican party, but we are not in control of the Republican party.
I have not donated a dime to the Republican National Committee for several years now and will not, until true Conservatives are in charge. I do donate to the campaigns of individual conservatives.
Until true conservatives run the Republican party, we will get nowhere. They are the traitors in our very midst.
It’s like hearing a burglar in your basement (the Democrats) and at the same time hearing a rattlesnake (the Republicans) in bed with you. Which do you deal with first? We won’t get anywhere until we rid ourselves of the RINOs.
You use ‘Repubs’ to mean the politicians and the kingmakers and influencers. They don’t have anything to do with Maga but they also didn’t ‘give him the nomination’ in 2016. They had nothing to do with it. So your whole premise fails. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly! Either ignorant or trolling.
The truth of the matter is that the rnc is most certainly working behind the scenes to nominate pence as their presidential candidate for 2024.
I’d say DeSantis will be the mole.
He’ll be trumps vp. Then I’d worry about Trump’s health
Dangerous times. If it seems like a hyperbolic statement but then read ‘the prince’. As the man said. ‘Trillions are at stake’!
If trump wanted to be solid. I’d say have Don jr as his vp.
My God, the arrogance and presumption in that comment.
Because Cruz is a splitter candidate, designed to divide conservatives so the real MAGA guy, DeSantis or Trump doesn’t get the nomination. Cruz talks a good game but he is controlled opposition.
This. Plus, keep his warchest.
These parties are private clubs and they do what they want. If Trump gets the Repub nomination I’ll eat my proverbial hat. Or my earbuds. Whatever the new thing you eat these days is.
THE PARTY, NOT “The parties”; remember the poster states they are not a Republican voter, and so apperently (frankly, like many who ARE Republican voters, and even many treepers) does not fully grasp the concept of UNIPARTY.
ONE party, TWO faces in order to divide the electorate into two opposing camps, using “wedge” issues, in order to con the electorate that they have a voice, while actually pursueing a common agenda, which largely involves amassing personal, family and group wealth and power, and manipulating the system to insure “the Big Club” (that you ain’t in) retains that power.
Example; the Tea Party formed and grew quickly, and its publically stated goal was to primary high ranking REPUBLICAN members of Congress.
And yet, it was Democrat Obamas IRS, that engaged in illegal activity, in order to prevent the Tea Party groups from raising/spending $, by denyingvthem legitimate tax exempt status.
Now, WHY would a DEMOCRAT POTUS, the “head if his party” do such a thing? If you are stuck in the con of R vs D politics, it makes NO SENSE.
Democrats in Congress, and the Democrat party, would benefit from the primarying of REPUBLICAN ranking members; it would make it possible for Democrats to “pick up” seats, and if the seat remained Republican, the new freshman would have no power.
It was Republicans in powerful, ranking positions that benefited, by Obamas WH having the IRS engage in blatantly illegal activity, to derail the Tea Party movement.
Only if you see the Uniparty as two faces of the same party, with the Democrat side pushing ever leftward, and the Republican side as “controlled opposition” PRETENDING to be in opposition, but actually forwarding their common objective, does Obamas actions make sense.
He was protecting the Republican hierarchy in Congress, because THEY were absolutely essential allies in his quest to “transform” America.
And thats just one, obvious example.
That was kinda my point. Repubs will pick a uniparty candidate. So I merely asked why Cruz (or Pence for that matter) couldn’t be that guy?
Not sure what is actually so confrontational about that question. I wasn’t suggesting Cruz was the best guy for Prez.
Pence is ruined by multiple flashes and exposures of his inner alien reptile since 2016.
See above on Cruz.
Cruz thinks he can defeat Trump? If not Trump, there is De Santis. Cruz would be better on the Supreme Court. He is a legal wonk and he might be really great in that position.
Cruz should be Attorney General or DOJ. Politics, not so much.
The GOP establishment doesn’t like Cruz. He’s not a McConnell-ite. They won’t support his bid other than to hope he splits off votes from Trump. But he is controlled by Wall Street and is NOT MAGA in any meaningful way.
The GOPe likes Trump less. But Trump will run and on a Trump/Noem or Trump/Gabbard ticket and win. Pence has been revealed as just another decepticon snake. He is through. If a SC seat opens it will go to Cruz who will be great on the court. Much of Trump’s staff will reappear except in the DOIJ which will be cleaned out entirely. The same will be true of the intelligence agencies.
And, what’s the difference between Pence and Noem? Or Pence and Gabbard? Other than two have a vagina and one a penis. What’s the difference?
None, they are all Uniparty hacks.
DeSantis..That is my hope..DeSantis was asked about it on Glenn Beck and he said..I would not rule anything out..!!…I would that it might be a strong possiblity..Noem isn’t interested..and Gabbard..is a leftie..Don’t ever think otherwise..
I agree with what you’re saying Whatevs. The true republican party is the party of Romney, Cheney, Murkowski, Collins, Kinzinger, Rubio, McConnell etc. Why would the true republican party nominate anyone but a member of their party.
The people still have a say in this. Laugh at that opinion if you want to, but I firmly believe American conservatives, independents and disgusted Dems, who are pro MAGA, will NOT accept a Pence or Cruz if PTrump and/or DeSantis are in the mix.
Guess we will see that story unfold starting next year and yes, I believe in the uniparty being real and a giant roadblock in our quest for better governing at the federal level.
We will have to show our disagreement with the RINOs with our pocketbooks, because as the 2020 election showed our votes can be overwhelmed by chicanery at the voting box.
It’s not just nonRepublicans who don’t grasp the concept of “Uniparty.” Most of the so-called GOP base don’t seem to grasp it, either.
Buy tiny, micro earbuds.
And a ton of ketchup.
How will you season them/it?
Your hat is safe… The republicans hate Trump’s guts… Too bad he can’t figger that out.
Exactly..private club..I was told this by someone who worked at the pentagon..
cruz is a carbon copy of Ms. lindsie graham of South Carolina… cruz, like Ms. lindsie, talks big and talks tough, but never actually follows through and does anything.
He was awfully BOLD and awfully STUPID at the GOP convention that nominated Trump.
Cruz is also ILLEGAL…not just for POTUS but as a CANADIAN citizen he is not even qualified to be a US Senator
What Republican Senator isn’t?
In addition to being a poll following, “which way is the wind blowing?”, camera happy posturer. Total empty suit.
Did you forget the S/Off?
I do sometimes like to provoke 🙂
This is NOT about who the Repub RINO’s want or would be comfortable with. In fact, whoever they want I would not.
2024 is about who has the greatest chance and that is certainly not Cruz; it is Donald Trump and anyone who does not know that has been in a coma for the last two years !! Cruz is not even a second or third choice. First choice after Trump would be DeSantis.
Didn’t know the Repubs cared what you wanted.
Also, we fixed the elections, right? Dominion is out of your state, right?
So when Trump gets the Repub nomination (again) and wins (again) he gets to keep it this time, right?
Wow, the pot stirrers and trolls have taken over this site.
what’s that sign at the zoo… don’t feed the critters…
Tedrick has been in the DC swamp to long if he’s delusional enough to think he carries any national support unless he’s up against that piece of human trash Paddy O’Dork
Here’s the latest presidential poll for 2024. What planet does Cruz live on.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/rinos-panic-poll-shows-president-trump-huge-lead-among-republicans-2024-presidential-race/
Trump’s chances dwindle each and every time he advises folks to take the poison clot shots…
If he (Trump) continues to tout the clot-shots, by 2024 his chances will be nil.
You’re not a Republican, and you refer to them as “they.” OK, so what are you? It’s important.
This is The CONSERVATIVE Treehouse – a refuge for those of us who have no other. If the cohesive nature of this site is lost, it’s value will be lost. Many who are left of conservative, or never-Trumpers, know that – and attempt to be divisive, annoying, or generally cause trouble in the comments.
I’m not saying that’s you, but it would be good of you to clarify your political stand. Senator Cruz has been good on many issues, but he does not possess the character traits for such a high position as POTUS.
I’m a Conservative in nearly all ways although I don’t think I’m so good at the religion part. So I just figured while he’s not my guy that the Repubs would be reasonably OK with him. Although like I said my guess is they’d prefer Pence so I suspect he’ll get it.
OTOH, if the Repubs are still around in 2024 I don’t think we will be so this is all probably moot.
Pence doesn’t stand a chance in H3LL, neither does Cruz. If your not a Repub, you ain’t Conservative enough!
You mean of winning the Presidency (correct) or do you mean the Repub nomination (incorrect.)
With you, Pa!
I’m not a republican anymore. Republican politicians are worse than demonrat politicians because the repukes stab us in the back.
I changed my affiliation to Independent from republican when the fat pig Edward Kennedy screamed out quagmire and the republicans put their tail between their legs and abandoned our troops that were dependent on a strong home front in order to win the damn war.
I vote against the dems, the republicans get my vote by default. I detest the republicans and I despise the democrats, some days it’s the other way around.
My politics are America First, America Foremost and I belong to the Leave Me the FUCX Alone party.
This, exactly. Republicans are way more untrustworthy than Democrats, who are usually loud and proud about what they want and intend. I voted for President Trump, not a Republican.
Exactly Menagerie…Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Please add to your list, “If you do not love America and her beautiful flag offends you, I will help you pack!”
Bingo!!!!!!!
I changed my party from Rep to Independent and am still a staunch Conservative. I’m tired of the Uniparty. I will not give any money to the Rep Party and in prior years was a very generous contributor.
“If your not a Repub, you ain’t Conservative enough!”
This is a joke, right? That comment? You mean Repub like Murkowski? Romney? Cheney? Pence? MConnell? Kizinger? I can name many more. Do you mean conservative enough like them, since they are Repubs?
I know many people who are not Republican but are more conservative than any of those I listed and many more.
You’re painting Republicans with a very broad brush. Republican voters nominated Donald J. Trump in 2016, despite the fake news/social media/never-Trump attempts to tarnish him and continuously paint him as a fluke.
Those liars were wrong. Real everyday Republicans, plus some cross-overs voted Trump overwhelmingly against the odds.
We did it in 2020, too…but the election was stolen.
Pence and Cruz are not even a part of the discussion for real Conservatives who care about the future of this country. Those who would prefer to line their pockets are simply part of the swamp/deepstate/globalists/whatever-you-wanna-call-them.
Good points PJ.
Correct.
You said this right! 👍
Amen PJ.
Now this makes sense, and I can respect your honesty. I should have sensed your well-meant provocation, and engaged further with you instead of simply dismissing your assertion. My radar is sometimes diminished. Yes, your initial assertion merits consideration. Why wouldn’t Cruz be the nominee if it’s up to the GOPe to decide and we do nothing to guarantee voting integrity. As far as the uniparty playbook goes, Cruz as the gop candidate is pure opium for the not yet red pilled. Just another breathlessly natural swing of the pendulum in the big shell game for the zombies’ Red team, while our freedoms are eroded and communism/totalitarianism is installed at break neck speed.
Whatevs: Trump has 90% approval of Rs, has more black and Hispanic support than any Republican has ever had, and he shows 60% support from everyone including Independents. Nobody has a chance against him. No matter your views, get informed.
Spot-on Geoff!
And, he said nothing about Trump. He’s just saying- why wouldn’t Cruz be the nomination? It fits the GOPe playbook and plays right into the hands of the gullible Repub- you know, splitting the ballot.
Cruz as a person turns people off. He evidently has never learned that.
And the wifey too.
Please, remember the 10’s of thousands of “Walkaway” videos, posted by sincere individuals, saying “I have been a lifelong DEMOCRAT voter, but I will NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT, again!”
If such people come to the Conservative treehouse (NOT the Republican treehouse!) having been lifelong Democrats, until their recent conversion, they may have a very outsiders view of Republican party dynamics, particularly Party vs Base war that has been going on for many years, and which longtime Republicans are familiar with.
And, bearing in mind that there may be MANY such voters, disenfranchised by the Democrats, is this REALLY the kind of “welcome” we want to extend to not only THIS poster, but potentially many lurkers of similar mind and history?
WTF?
Just so you know that doesn’t apply to me. My last Dem vote was Jimmy Carter. But I have a sneaky suspicion my last Repub. vote was Trump in 2020. That’s kinda my point.
And I quit the Repub party sometime during Bush’s 2nd term although I’ve voted for all the Repubs since then. I even voted for the odious Romney. But with a lot of help and prayer I’ve cured my addiction to the Repubs 🙂
No more battered Repub voter syndrome for me.
That helps to understand your premise. Thank you.
I’ve only sat out one Presidential vote since Reagan, because I just couldn’t vote for Romney – and I don’t regret it. The man was trash.
And as a Conservative with a little libertarian streak, I’ve avoided registering when I didn’t need to in order to vote in the primary.
But I’ve always voted Republican, except for Mitt. Decades of political study have shown me exactly where the Democrats will take us. And they have. As bad as the Uniparty is, the Democrats are FAR WORSE. They have become the ENEMY of our freedoms and American society.
Agreed… although I’ve not missed any voting since 1964… first time I was eligible…. Including local elections.
Me too! I often think Goldwater might have been like Trump.
Geoff, I suspect you are correct. The Uniparty was terrified of Barry Goldwater.
PJ,
You are correct the Uniparty was always the ENEMY of our freedoms and American Society.
Do you really think that, of all places, lifelong Dem voters want to come here and post? Don’t you think it might be advantageous to read for a while before jumping into what has always been a group of like-minded Conservatives looking for a refuge?
Opinions are like a$$holes. Everybody has one. The thing which separates this site, and always has, is its discernment and brotherhood.
Glad for those who have finally figured out how wrong-headed they’ve been in their voting – I know and love some of them. But it is impossible to have the depth of conversation with them, that I do with others who’ve been faithfully Conservative for decades.
If memory serves me correct Dutchman, the Democrats purged all the Moderate (read Conservative) Dems in 2012. That’s almost 10 years ago. If you’re still wavering on the Democrat line, you aren’t really Conservative. Just like Moderate Republicans turn out to be RINOs. Jus’ sayin’.
I remember reading something about Obozo & his Alinsky gang getting rid of any opposition in the D party. Kucinich springs to mind, but there was something about Black reps’ who wouldn’t go along with their satanic transhumanistic global agenda. Would have to do some research for names.
When I first noticed Dutchman posting years ago, I recall him stating he wasn’t in the USA and wasn’t a citizen.
If that has changed, I welcome Dutch to the most free nation in the world. I hope he will be a good steward of all that my ancestors have fought to provide those like him who wish to come here.
While listening to migrants is often enlightening, staying true to one’s own roots is grounding. My roots show me that those who wish to dispose of the GOP are commies.
What about those who want to rid the GOP of RINOs, while retaining the Constitutional principles of the party?
Thinking the same thing. When people start waking up to the Uniparty you don’t chase them off.
The un-American senate did not allow our President, Donald John Trump, ONE recess nomination in his first term. NONE of the senate cares about us or our beloved and exceptional America.
Also, all history aside for a moment, because an odious prig will never win in a general election. Either of them.
Yeah I don’t think he would win either.
Real people with skin in the game know they get a fair shake with DeSantis or a Trump. Most all others are crooks, frauds or both. It’s a big club and we ain’t in it so we need other big clubs to go with, enter Ron and Don!
RonDon. Clever.
Yep those two can hopefully make Biden’s life a misery over the next couple of years. They are both using the bully pulpit very well.
What is really hard to believe is what do Democrats run on? All we ever hear is how evil Republicans are. Well at least we Know what they run on. Dems? Not so much. Just look at what they push when in power, higher taxes, ever hear one Dem say they want to raise your taxes? Yet that’s their answer to pay for their charades. They push racism, ever hear them say anything about being racist or terrorist if you go to school board meeting and don’t like that Critical Race BS! Yet that’s what we get! When does the John Q Public wake up instead of getting woke???
Ted Cruz is not eligible to be POTUS or VPOTUS:
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution states: “No Person except a natural born Citizen … shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
Ted Cruz is clearly missing a leg.
The three legged stool test by CDR Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. (Retired):
http://www.kerchner.com/naturalborncitizen/cfk/Natural-Born-Citizen-to-Constitutional-Standards-Some-Writings-About-Same-by-CDR-Charles-F-Kerchner-Jr-Ret.pdf
Right, Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is not elgiible per the Constitution…but, it appears that does not matter anymore as both parties would like another ineligible candidate to insure nothing ever happens over their doing and saying nothing stop the ineligible, but race protected, Obama from being sworn-in by John Roberts. Now, Obama is both race and ineligibility protected because neither party wants the truth about Barry to be fully revealed and acted on. They allowed America’s government and her military to be given to her enemies at her highest levels and they are still covering for that mother of all criminal acts…to protect themselves. That fear is what panicked both parties when Trump the “birther” was elected in 2016 instead of the planned and promised after Obama cover of Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately, at this point being able to spell “citizen’ is probably good enough and not necessarily in English……….
I think in the case of Mini-Hillary Harris, the criminal/traitor china owned Dems will invoke the law. She is despised by most, except for Obozo & his red diaper baby handlers.
Same thing with Kamala.
She’s not qualified to be VP or president.
Obama picked Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s V.P. I believe that is because because Obama wants more ineligible people as president and/or V.P. to lessen the chance anything will ever be done about Obama’s ineligibility…..
he is missing THREE of the three legs….mom and dad BOTH Canadian citizens by OFFICIAL Canadian voter polls in Aug 1971…Lil’ Teddy was born in CANADA in Oct 1971
Cruz is not even a natural born citizen under several definitions, starting with the 1790s version.
There is genuine doubt that he is even classed correctly as a US citizen. Poor thing is the product of an uber liberal mom that appears to have expatriated the US from conservative Texas, and a noncitizen and non resident Canadian Cuban dad, born outside the US.
He’s suffered immigrant dreams and delusions of being president for a long time, since being raised in the US from an early age, with a smart mom that tries hard to sweep crucial history under the rug..
Momma converted to a BRITISH subject in 1962 with a British husband and an older sib to Teddy…older sib was sickly and TREATED by NIH which at the time was limited to Britsh only and eventually died…Canada when she moved there allowed members of the Commonwealth to convert to Canadian citizens after a single year
Because both of them are useless, fake people. Like the democrats are. Only in it for themselves. We’re done with that. From either side.
It doesn’t matter what the people want, the rnc will choose the republican presidential nominee for 2024.
You’re kidding right?
I’m guessing that this is trick question and in actual fact you’re mocking him!
P.S. You nick gives you away!
DC is Bartertown. So the real question America needs to know is: Who really runs Bartertown?
Pence is a traitor; has zero chance.
Clearly, if you have to ask that question, you haven’t been paying attention, or you’re a Dem troll. I’ll be generous (due to the season) and suggest that you go into archives and read about Cruz over the years.
Haha..You have got to be kidding..Lifetime..poliiticians..NO WAY…Yoo can have him and Pence but we don’t want back stabbers..I can’t stand Pence..He is so transparently…establishment..and Ted all he does is talk..He has never really done anything..
I agree with you. Cruz really isn’t much better than any other Republican in D. C. Oh, he does a lot of talking, but does nothing real. Might as well put him up as their candidate. Since they’re owned by the Left, it doesn’t really matter, because even a supposed “MAGA” candidate wouldn’t get anything done in office, because the GOP would betray and undermine him or her from the moment he or she was sworn in. I REALLY wish people would stop trying to drag DeSantis into that cesspool. He would be as outnumbered and betrayed as Trump was and nothing would change except Florida would be vulnerable to a Leftist takeover. I firmly believe that this war is being fought at the state level and that’s where we need to focus. D. C. is lost to the Left.
For the first time in 5 years I will again say that Ted Cruz is too ugly to be president. Although the beard does cover up some.
Ted should have taken the Supreme Court appointment when he had the chance.
I do believe a simple nose job would improve his looks tremendously. It’s that pointy nose hanging over his lip that is….well, unattractive.
Never in a million years.
I won’t vote for him.
Big talker, that’s about it.
Repubs would vote for him but not sure people on this site would.
This isn’t a Republican site is it?? Yikes!
If I had to guess I’d say that the Repubs will go with Pence if they’re still around in 2024. He’s the right guy for that party. But Trump? What are people here smoking?
We smoke reality here at the Tree House, what alternative do you smoke???
Aw cmon. I’m explaining myself pretty clearly. It’s just a difference of opinion about what the horrid Repubs are willing to do to purge Conservatives from the party.
But whatevs.
You’re confusing Conservatives with RINOs. Read more of where Sundance is coming from!
You have absolutely no understandingvof the dynamics of the R party.
There has long been a disconnect between the party leadership, and the party base.
At least 60 years, that I know of. The Party has TALKED about the policy positions and initiatives that the base wanted, but then it has consistently failed to deliver, and USED that failure to plead for MORE $, and MORE support, saying if it got that from the base, THEN by God it would be able to enact the policies and intiatives the base wanted.
And then,….?
Wash, rince and repeat.
Your view of “Republicans” is very much that of an outsider, like neighbors thinking that family on the corner “seemed like nice people” and are shocked when the truth comes out.
You are decieved by the masks, the image the family projects to the outside world, and have no idea the emnity roiling just beneath the surface.
Heck, you no doubt think Fox news (in a similar deception) represents the views if Republican voters, lol.
We HATE Fox news, we HATE Mitch McConnell, we can’t stand Ronna McDanial (the head of the RNC).
Anyway, don’t run away, but just spend some time here lurking, and educating yourself,…read thru the archives, including the comments sections, cause you have a LOT to learn.
Dutch, I’m just trying to suggest that since the Repub party left you you might want to consider leaving them.
Anyway, it’s just a thought.
Gonna watch a movie with Mrs. Whatevs. Have a very nice evening and a wonderful Christmas coming up.
Just where are you going to go if you chitcan the Republican Party? Nothing is left! Your only chance is to purge the RINOs! We start getting rid of RINOs, we get a much better Party! Instead of just pulling a Republican lever in the booth, start asking them where they stand on issues! You will then start to separate wheat from the chaff!
Any politician can lie better than an academy award winning thespian.
Their WORDS mean nothing; their ACTIONS mean everything.
30 Pence Mike doesn’t have a chance.
Seems like just the other day Cruz and the other fine RINOs were pushing for amnesty.
Yikes!?itok=1buApPwx
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/263644-immigration-bill-authors-say-cruz-wanted-legislation-to-pass
One of those guys has some pics of them at a gay bathhouse pool
Never forget 2014 when Cruz, Beck, and Dana Loesh were handing out the teddy bears to the illegal alien kids coming across the border.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/07/18/mike-lee-sends-regrets-ted-cruz-signs-up-for-glenn-beck-soccer-balls-teddy-bears/
It was insulting and embarrassing to all American Patriots. It will not be forgotten.
Neither will Beck’s infamous quote that is still gleefully used by the communists. “Orange man, bad.” It was infantile. I seldom missed a Beck show when he was at the old FOX. He did a great job of revealing the mechinations of the Barry Soetoto administration.
This pic represents the different stages of Rinoism.
Cruz won awards in college for debating…..he is a master-debater……
Cruz gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2014. He was born there. His parents were not US citizens when he was born. It’s time we start vetting these people again – commencing with ineligible Harris.
ive said it a thousand times, until the obama problem is dealt with this country will never be guided by the rule of law again.
Thank you, Obama is both race and ineligibility protected because both parties fear the truth about Barry. If that fact is forever untouched I agree, the rule of law in America will remain defeated, forever……….
Sorry, but you are plain wrong. Even if Obama was born in Kenya, his mother was an American citizen. This conveyed natural born citizen status on Obama. Same with Ted and McCain.
the actual you can be a US citizen if you are born on US soil is a bastardization of the law, to become a citizen you really should have to only have one parent who is a citizen.
not that I’m an Obama fan, i didn’t vote for him and wouldn’t.
This. This is an accurate description of the law. Thanks.
Triple Bingo! Vetting, the lost art of politics in today’s game.
Ted has no standing.
IMO Obama told Biden to pick the ineligible Kamala Harris because the more ineligble presidents and/or vice-presidents who are sworn-in, the less likely it is that anything will ever be done about Obama’s ineligibility.
You know I’d rather walk on my lips than criticize but there is only one candidate that can take on the Deep State, the 4th Branch of Government, and that is Donald J. Trump and NOT Cruz or Brutus Pence.
If Ted gets Carly Fiorina to run with him I’m in.
LOL!
😂 Remember when she fell off the stage after introducing him and he didn’t dane to notice!!
He should be hit with a lawsuit challenging his natural born status as soon as he officially announces.
Good luck. Judges will say you have “no standing.”
According to judges’ past rulings, only an opponent also running for president would have standing. If Cruz were the Republican nominee, there would be no Republican opponent to file suit; and, no Democrat opponent would do so.
Anywayz… Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn’t explicitly prohibit a non-natural born citizen from running for president. It only says such a person is not eligible to BE president. So, what we really need is a law stating that in order for a person to run for president, clear and absolute DOCUMENTED proof of being a natural born citizen MUST be provided before or at the time a candidate registers for that office.
Those judges are cowering scum. An ineligible president affects not only their rival candidates, but every citizen. It is a crime against the States, United States, the Constitution.
I’m sick of these weasels.
I agree 100%, my friend. Maybe someday…
Why wait? Get ahead of it before anyone (RNC) can even start their agenda.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
That’s the most delusional thing I’ve heard in a while.
Every single time I say: “Cruz is only out for Cruz”
All you believers, do you see it now?? Remember he went to the Texas boarder with Glen, I’m crazy, Beck to hand out teddy bears!!
The man is nuts and I’m not sure he’s an actual US citizen!! He was one of the globalists with George the junior Bush, never forget.
Trust no one
Lyin’ Ted. He’s forever branded 😂
Cruz is a US citizen; but, he’s definitely not a natural born citizen. Everything else you said is 100% true.
The fact that he consistently but wrongfully claims to be a natural born citizen and attempts to run for president makes him unfit for ANY office of public trust.
Ineligible, teddy bear and soccer ball, Cruz is the very definition of snake oil salesman.
At his point, I’m more worried about whether there will even be a 2022 election, let alone in 2024. One day at a time, Sweet Jesus. And pray for the J6 prisoners.
Delusions of Grandeur.
Who is the little boy interviewing him?
IKR?
2016 had 16 midgets, running against a GIANT, and Ted you were just the tallest midget, thats ALL.
ONLY one of the also rans worth a second look, was Ben Carson, but he was just too much of a “nice guy”, and his campaign was sabatogued from within, because he DID have the potential, to be a threat.
Dutchman,
The only way I could or would vote for TC if…IF! he were the R nominee, which I believe there is a 99.9% odds against, but still, if it came down to that between him or Hillary, Michelle Obama, other despicable dems, communists…
I would have to take a few shots of Old Grand Dad, 114 proof, swallow, vote and then go throw up. 😉
So you see my scenario if it came down to that.
Thankfully, I don’t see that happening.
The US Constitution requires one to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to become president. In order to be a natural born citizen, one must be born on US soil to two US citizen parents.
Cruz was born in Canada and his father was never a US citizen; so, he is not a natural born citizen. Therefore, he can never legally serve as president.
There is also evidence his mother was voting in Canada around the time of his birth, so even she disqualified him.
No such evidence exists; and, yes, I am aware of ‘the list’ PURPORTED to be such evidence. If you have ever actually seen that document and read it carefully, then looked up the Canadian laws pertaining to it and its purpose, as I did years ago, you would agree that it does not constitute evidence of Eleanor Cruz ever voting in Canada or registering to vote there.
The document in question itself states that it is a “preliminary list” and also clearly provides notice that “applications for corrections,” “deletions from,” and “additions to” the list may be necessary. The names on that list are accumulated by a pair of ‘enumerators’ who go door to door gathering information much as our census takers do.
Once the enumerators are done, their work is checked by another official who creates an official list of registered Canadian voters. No evidence exists that either of Ted’s parents’ names ever appeared on a finalized list of registered Canadian voters or that either voted in Canada.
But even if Cruz’s mother did in fact become a Canadian citizen and voted there, that would not mean she was not still an American citizen. Heck, it’s almost impossible for the U.S. government to take U.S. citizenship for a citizen; much less, some foreign nation take any action that does so.
Too, being a dual citizen of the USA and any other nation does not disqualify a U.S. citizen from any of his/her legal rights.
… and that was all 5 ft 8 of Canadian Cuban Cruz.
Dutchman, Ben Carson is too weak on 2A to be presidential material.
No, Ted. Don’t even think about it.
ROFLMAO!
Anchor baby.
We tried that already. Didn’t work out so well.
Hard pass.
An ‘anchor baby’ is a baby whose foreign citizen mother comes to the USA to give birth so the child can accrue US citizenship. The term ‘anchor baby’ refers to the fact that once said child is a US citizen, that citizenship ‘anchors’ the ability of its parents to either stay or return to America later and eventually attain citizenship themselves. Eventually, the same excuse is often used to allow other relatives to do the same.
Since Cruz’s mother was already a US citizen at the time of his birth, the term ‘anchor baby’ does not apply to him. He is in fact, a genuine US citizen because of his mother’s US citizenship at the time he was born. The fact that he was born on foreign soil makes him a naturalized US citizen; and, due to the immigration and naturalization laws in effect at that time, he was automatically granted naturalized US citizenship at birth.
What makes him a non-natural born citizen is the fact that he was born on foreign soil to a non-US citizen father. None of that, however, keeps him from being a US citizenship.
It’s duly noted that all of the above relative to ‘anchor babies’ is only ‘acceptable’ as a result of a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment that allows consequences that were never intended by that amendment’s authors.
A Borg Analysis
Hate me all you want, but someone needs to say it: Trump is stalling out, not all the cylinders are firing. Granted, he’s running on pure populist momentum right now & still drawing huge crowds, but he’s gonna need more than that between now and 2024.
What is it with this “Warp Speed” obsession? Ok, he meant well, his heart was in the right place, and he made every effort to do the right things. But he was mugged. The whole CV19 response turned into a total disaster and has morphed into a totalitarian murder machine. Why didn’t Trump dump Fauci & Birx after the first few two weeks? Why in the world did he put clueless Pence in charge?
Although Trump did the right thing in shutting down travel from China, the vast majority of his senior staff were dead set against the idea, especially chief economics guru Larry Kudlow (Fauci being among the most vocal, BTW). Trump acted purely on a gut feeling, not on the allegedly informed opinions of the so-called best and brightest people in the room. Fortunately, it turned out to be the correct decision and probably saved many hundreds of thousands of lives.
Do you recall all those daily CV19 press briefings? You’d thought the world was facing a mass extinction event!!! Once a week would’ve been adequate, maybe some brief comments from the press secretary on breaking events. Trump dominated those briefings to such an extent I got tired of listening to him drone on over the same stuff day after day. I tired of his incessant need to constantly do battle with the press; you’d have 15-min of semi-useful information and 45-min of Trump fighting. Yeah, he was a good president and he did a lot of good things — but he could’ve done twice as much had he kept his flaming ego in check!.
What bothers me about Trump now is that he doesn’t appear to have learned his lesson. You can’t overturn the 2020 election anymore than you can overturn the 1986 Super Bowl. He, and many others, were cheated out of rightful and legal victories through extensive voter fraud coordinated within the federal government with active foreign interference, not just the Democratic party.
And this is where the MAGA movement came into play: to ferret out the fraudsters and identify their methods so this cannot happen again. In that, I think we’ve seen great success; people now know what happened and will be standing vigilant on the walls come 2022.
Maybe Trump is running a quiet inside game, and I don’t fault him for not wanting to simply retire & play golf for his remaining years, but that’s not his style. He was cheated, and he wants back into the game. But the game has changed and he’s not changing along with it. Come 2024 I want my voted for Donald Trump to be more than just a protest vote against Biden and the Lefty Nazis; I want to vote for him because he’s the most qualified to put America back together again.
I want Trump to learn from his mistakes; I want him to be more judicious regarding those selected to give him advice; I don’t want to ever see his moronic daughter and equally moronic son-in-law ever set foot in the White House again (both were significant sources of some very bad geopolitical advice).
You can’t drain the swamp when you’re standing 36,000 feet below the ocean at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
Bingo. Trump got cheated out of his reelection and I will never agree with that final outcome or how he was treated in his 4 years. He needs to think hard about taking credit for WhompSpeed and reverse promoting these vaxxes. It has hardly been a sucess and the public sees that we’ve been bamboozled. His task force conspired against him to mislead the public halted cheap theraputics and utimatly help to steal the election through mail in voting. The Vax was built on the original virus and its basicly junk now. The several mutations has rendered these current vaxxes useless. Every mution is on the spike protein. Natural immunity covers the full virus and protiens not just the spike. Credit natural immunity, they dont need the vaxx either afterwards either. Trump started a great movement but sorry to say he can only take it so far. He isnt articulate enough, vicious enough. He can play king maker and raise money for America First candidates. Who is next in line, I would say DeSantis and bring in more candiates like Joe Kent.
I suspect that there will be better vaccines by 2024.
Then bad Quality Control during the Biden administration could be given the main blame.
Omicron herd immunity may terminate the pandemic / endemic.
Then Trump can say it’s all voluntary when done legally correct, unlike the criminals’ regime…
Especially his son-in-law
Let us know the answer when you figure it out.
MAGA
Ya have to understand where the RINOs are. McTurtle controls who gets put where in his appointments. Trump wants somebody and Mitch say over my dead body, what’s he to do?
Campaign for Mitch (as he did)? I don’t think so.
This diatribe is just way too much..You make it sound like you are an insider..NOT!!
“No, seriously, he does.”
Maybe Ted knows something we don’t. First of all, there are plenty of Republican morons willing to vote for the likes of Cruz and Pence. Secondly, a Cruz victory in 2024 would re-solidify the Republican base’s faith in “our” anti-white system and Regime.
Take the fall for a Collapse in 2025, if they don’t have it in 2023.
ARRRGGGHHH!!! A wave of pure revulsion just rolled over my body. Followed by pure anger. Same happens at the thought of Pence.
Maybe Sundance can start a Hollyweird Squares for the rejects. Here’s a start at contestants. Please add you own.
Ted Cruz AKA Major Greasy
Mike Pence the TRAITOR
Niki Haley the Transparently Power Hungry
Mitt Romney the Revolting
Dan Crenshaw the Phony
Anyone named Bush
Liz Cheney the Hateful Shrew
Carley Fiorina the RINO
Then there’s miscellaneous want-a-be’s who are either too lame (Rubio) or are deceptions (Pompeo).
Ted is not a natural born citizen.
He is by US code. I posted it earlier- it’s awaiting moderation. I posted the links to articles with links to the actual US Code (law). Natural born is not what people think it is…
A few problems here.
If Donald Trump runs again – Donald Trump has all of the supporters he had in 2016 & 2020 – which were proven to be far more than Ted Cruz.
If Donald Trump does not run again, Ron DeSantis will run and he will have the endorsement of President Trump and will also have (even without an initial endorsement) all the supporters President Trump had in 2016 & 2020 – which were proven to be far more than Ted Cruz.
So how does Ted Cruz think he can beat Donald Trump’s supporters in 2024? I don’t get it.
By having 30 others run in the primary with him. Twice as many as last time.
Don’t understand all the vitriol being thrown at Cruz. This ill becomes the CTH constituency. A rational analysis of his accomplishments is in order, but not the insults. Has CTH become a playground for the rude and infamous? I can get that anywhere. Don’t like it here
That said, I don’t think Cruz stands a chance against DeSantis, in the event that Trump is unable to run due to health or what-have-you. As a governer, DeSantis has the right stuff to be an executive, which being a Senator does not confer on one.
If Trump doesn’t stop promoting the clot-shots he is dead to me. He got bad advice. Admit it and move on, Donald.
Following the old WFBuckley Jr. dictum, “Pick the most conservative candidate, who can win”, that would be Trump or Desantis. Were winnability not a factor, I’d like Thomas Massie and then maybe Rand. Cruz falls a bit down the list, though he is better than many Rinos.
Rand never recessed the Senate so that our President, Donald John Trump, could get the nominations that he needed to advance our America First agenda! Turtle and rinos fought against us at every turn!
I wouldn’t care, but he’s a dual, no a tri-citizen at birth. Born in Canada, making him Canadian, to and American mother and a Cuban father. what a mess
I’m a Vattel’s Law of Nations guy when it comes to what the framers meant by Natural-born Citizen.
I’m thinking mummy may have dropped her American citizenship, too. She lived in Britain and was married to a Brit, divorced and moved to Canada where she allegedly voted in several elections. At one time, her records were also sealed by sonny. BTW, IIRC, there was no dual citizenship in place in America until 1986 when Teddy was 16. So, Teddy is solely a natural born citizen of Canada. I doubt that Cuba would claim him.
Re “I’m a Vattel’s Law of Nations guy when it comes to what the framers meant by Natural-born Citizen.”
Amen to that!
wait a minute cowboys. Didn’t Cruz stand up in the Senate on 1/6/20 to challenge the electoral votes in Arizona? Why doesn’t that measure on the scale of justice? I will admit he’s changed his mind on a few subjects over the years, but pray tell what makes him such a turncoat to Sundance or his followers? Just asking for a friend. Explanation much appreciated.
The US Constitution requires one to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to become president. In order to be a natural born citizen, one must be born on US soil to two US citizen parents.
Cruz was born in Canada and his father was never a US citizen; so, he is not a natural born citizen. Therefore, he can never legally serve as president.
No other reason for rejecting him as a presidential candidate is needed.
Maybe Cruz will finally win that Oscar for his portrayal of a natural born American citizen.

Not to mention, his wife works for Goldman-Sachs. Not NO, but HELL NO! Trump 2024!
Is that teddy-the-lion?😂
Why are we even talking about the Republican party? As stated before, it is dead.
They will attempt to destroy anyone remotely associated with Trump or MAGA followers.
The Uniparty does not like or care about Americans or America.
We need a MAGA party. The Tea Party was strong, but a MAGA party is now stronger.
Thus, I guess he plans on running. Period.
Don’t know why he eschews being on SCOTUS, unless he’d make a deal with Trump that if an opening occurred, he’d put up Cruz. Thing is, it would depend on the make up of the Senate whether he’d be confirmed.
I guess Cruz didn’t pay attention to the GROWTH of MAGA under Trump. He evidently thinks Biden won.
Trump would trounce Cruz in TX.
LOL … he’s my neighbor in Houston; 4 doors down… hard to imagine he’d have a chance in 2024… and I voted for him in 2016.
Just… NO!
Cruz during the RNC Convention in 2016 showed me his true colors. While he is brilliant, he’s an opportunist.
I will only support and vote for Donald J Trump in 2024!
EVERY politician is an opportunist. Otherwise they’d be grocers or run drycleaning stores.
Sorry Ted. Still not eligible. Still Canadian. NEVER GONNA’ HAPPEN. Take it to the bank!
Ted is the classic republican… A progressive that loves to say constitutional sounding things for TV cameras.
It would make sense to run him, most conservatives will fall face first for that.
Anything I write below is just a synthesis of what Sundance has posted with my thoughts on how this plays out.
The presidency doesn’t really matter without a Congress that is willing to go to the mattresses for the party agenda. You saw this when McCain sunk Obamacare reform and now you are seeing it with Manchin stalling out Build Back Better. Anything that you do “pen and phone” is reversible by the next executive or potentially the judiciary. That’s without the IC, DoD, and DoJ trying to sabotage your every move as the cherry on top. We don’t have to worry about the system removing Joe no matter how bad it gets, it’s the popular and effective presidents that can challenge the Deep State’s hegemony that need to “watch your back Jack”.
Part of the problem is that the nominal Republican party apparatus doesn’t have any ideologically conservative driven leadership. The Democrats do, I knew by 2010 they were playing for blood, and they were willing to sacrifice a large part of their own party to root out the less than totally committed. McConnell and the Decepticons, followed by the Kinzinger’s and Cheney’s of the House, all have to go. We else have to be willing to suffer a humiliating defeat that eliminates all the of these political players (“Stupak” them all), or we muster up the resolve to take over the party from within in the primaries. I have no doubt this would take a decade at best. Can we last as a nation for a decade at this rate? I’m not sure. Sundance has chronicled just how the Progressives have reached their current perch. In a sense, we’ll have to become some of what we hate about the left to fight it. That means vetting and forcing a party orthodoxy that doesn’t allow any stray cats, and ruthlessly wield power to shift the country back to Constitutional norms. Make no mistake, that might be a century’s worth of law and bureaucratic policy that has to be thrown out. On top of that a complete overhaul of the civil service. I’m not sure if we haven’t passed the point of just needing to start over with a revised Constitution.
A third party option is a dead duck. The system is rigged against it. The Democrats were taken over by the radical collectivists, patriots can kill the Republican party and wear it as a skin suit. Just putting DeSantis or Trump back in the Oval isn’t going to magically fix things. If we can’t get enough America First in Congress to control the vote, with the political will to follow through, then you might as well have a Ted Cruz. The Supreme Court might play (conservative-leaning) ball if they feel like Congress and the Executive are unified and have the same goals.
Going to be a real uphill battle with the Democrats and Bain Capital Repubs opposing any sort of election transparency. I have doubts that our path doesn’t end in a soft, then hard, rebellion of states. At that point it will be a race to power and God help us if we lose to the Communists. No quarter will be given.
Ted’s VP nominee getting an early start?
I doubt any of the former losing POTUS candidate winners gained almost 10 million votes from the 1st time they won. Then there is the steal… I’m still not sure Ted isn’t trolling
DeSantis is the only politicians that is actually showing mettle, genius, and fight.
Just when I was thinking this guy is doing a good job, staying in his lane and boosting all things pro America, supporting PTrump’s agenda. Sigh. Ego always raises its ugly head with these politicians. It’s like a job requirement with these folks.
Good luck Ted. Not happening in 2024 though. sorry.
cruz is just a texas version of Linda grahamnesty. a tool of the DC deep state corporatist globalist elites.
Ted was born in Canada of an US mother and Cuban father. There was no dual citizenship agreement with Canada at the time of his birth; therfore, Cruz would have to have been naturalized in order to have citizenship in the US to be conferred on him. Chances are like Kamala, Cruz is not even a legal US citizen. He fails to be eligible for President, by the Constitution since he was not Native Born.
He is also a confirmed globalist. He and his Goldman-Sacs employed, wife worked for the Bush administration to create the North American Union. He is not to be trusted.
May I paraphrase…?
Cruz is another RINO in conservative clothing…
Never forget: Ted Cruz is not constitutionally eligible to be president of the United States.
And he is steamrolling over the still unresolved, fraudulent 2020 election.
FTC. (Federal Trade Commission?)
He was my choice back in ’16 but (back then), after he dropped out and I got to see that my distrust of Trump was misplaced, I got to clearly see that Ted is not presidential timber. You don’t get to be a member of the Turtle’s club in the Senate and prosper like Cruz has without a timely wink and nod for the shenanigans that go on there.
He’s as bad as Miss Lindsey.
Sorry muchacho, but not in ’24 for this former supporter.
Trump had to deal with so much BS when he was president, the democrats were sending a message that that is what’s going to happen to any outsider who would try to run for president. Unless an outsider runs and wins, the rest of them are the same as any democrat.
Sorry Ted….not with this Texan’s vote. The firebrand that was elected to the Senate initially has turned into an ‘all hat, no cattle’ republican. Your talking far exceeds anything you’ve actually accomplished.
It’s pretty obvious you’ve toned things down to ‘fit in’ with the crowd…….all to benefit your chances of being supported by the party as a presidential candidate.
If Trump decides to run, Ted is toast. He is toast anyway. Pence is a disaster and will not be the candidate. If Trump runs, he will be the nominee….and most likely DeSantis the VP spot. Which would excellent. Then in 2028, DeSantis will president candidate, and again in 2032. Other than that it is Ron DeSantis for many years. Ted is not too hard…and Pence is an absolute bush republican and he will not be president ever!
If Trump runs, he’s the runaway favorite for the nomination no matter what the GOP establishment does. If Trump doesn’t run, DeSantis is the runaway favorite. If DeSantis also chooses not to run (after all, being the excellent governor of Florida and putting into practice the principle of federalism is damn important, too), then it’s a bit of a free for all. Too many of the grassroots are never going to vote for Pence. I know I wouldn’t. He’s a non-starter. Should neither Trump nor DeSantis run, I might definitely support Cruz. I am not clear why some of the people on this forum are so down on Cruz.
Ted must be hitting the eggnog early.
I have:
1)Trump
2) DeSantis
3)Pence
4) Pompeo
So maybe, just maybe Cruz is #5.
