Don't put words in my virtual mouth. A person like Cruz doesn't need to speak that long to put his foot in his mouth. You said yourself he didn't get asked much during the debate. That was his only saving grace.
You want specifics? Let him explain his position on gay rights and abortion in the case of ra.pe.

I'm not putting your words in your mouth. You said you would enjoy seeing him make a fool of himself "again." I asked what you were talking about. I got a typical rant, which ended the discussion in my mind. Have fun watching the future debates, and I hope you don't give yourself an aneurism.
No, you have to be a natural born citizen. Being born within the borders of the US (supposedly) makes you a citizen, but being born outside the borders does not make you NOT a citizen.
Nevermind, I googled it. So I think it wouldn't have mattered anyways if Obomba wasn't born in Hawaii. Not quite sure though, I don't know the details of where his parents lived or what country they were citizens or nationals of.

Ted Cruz is awesome and he'd make a great president. Marxist Evan would probably kill himself though.
Cruz will be out of the race before the year ends.
Anyone that sits in the big chair is nothing more than a puppet.
How much power do you think POTUS has?
It's the most vetted job in the world, and whoever gave you the money to get you there is pulling the strings.
If you don't fully understand that, you could never be POTUS. You wouldn't get the job.
It is what it is.
