So how long will Ben last this time?

[Ben Kenobi]

One is Constitutional, the other isn't. You have to go by the spirit of the framers or you get all kinds of screwed up outcomes, like in this case the best candidate for president would not be eligible, which is not what the framers intended.

I like Cruz, but he's not the best candidate still running. And the constitution doesn't have a clause for, "we need the best non-American". That's not the point. The point is that foreign influence is a prima facie issue with anyone born outside the US. Including Ted Cruz.

I don't care if he is a Canadian citizen. That doesn't matter. He is an American citizen, and loyal to America. That's all that matters. You better believe that Cruz will defend the nation against Canada.

You don't see the conflict of interest in Cruz (and his family) having access to Canadian health care?

[Ben Kenobi]

that's what he wants you to think, until he lets the canadian hordes stream over the border to destory america with politeness and maple syrup.

I'm Canadian. I'm not sure whether you consider me a traitor to the cause or an example of the Snowback horde.

Sadly, BK is the only Canadian that wants to come to the US because this country has a lot of problems. We need to fix our problems before we need to decide whether or not we want to limit Canadians from coming to this country.

That's ridiculous. Maybe you're just saying that because you want a different president. Who?

Santorum is the better candidate at the moment.

I came to Texas. What's this 'United states' nonsense? Some Yankee contrivance?

[C0ckney]

Santorum is the better candidate at the moment.

he's certainly the one most interested in the mechanics of gay sex.

IMO, he's the best. Cruz is second. Both are great candidates, I just wish Cruz were not a Canadian citizen. Then I'd probably be working for his campaign. I have a copy of a letter I wrote him in 2010, and he actually had the courtesy to reply to me. I have nothing against Cruz the man, it's just the constitution (which I have to teach), is pretty clear on this.

Good night! I hope you teach that a consensus of constitutional scholars define natural-born-citizen to include people who were born to US citizens!!!!

[Kidlicious]

Rick Santorum is not supported by evangelicals. He's attacking the candidate that is. He has almost no chance of winning anything. Do you have any idea how he would win?

Yes, the US has a lot more gun violence than Canada, and health care is harder to get

The US has more violence. Gun ownership is actually a plus for the US because of that.

I teach the constitution as written, that natural born citizens are born on American soil. Constitutional 'scholars' can say whatever they believe, but it doesn't change what the text actually says.

Adjusting for the demographic differences, Canada has more, not less violence.
