Republicans for POTUS, 2016 Edition

First Lady Tonette?

That's an interesting first name for Mrs. Walker.

I find it weird that a 25 year old married a 36 year old who I can't imagine was ever that attractive. It's bad of me to say but she's going to add to his donk persona.

She must do something right...:confused:
 
oh i forgot about ted cruz

ted cruz is the smartest dumb person in politics, as in he can stir up attention and he's gotten very far
 
Cruz is too smart for his own good, dude was a beast of a student apparently.
 
Don't get Cruz at all. There's no appetite for another first term Senator as President. Additionally he's hated by his Senate colleagues so he doesn't add much as VP. Texas is a safe red state and he's a Cuban who's openly hostile to immigration reform. The government shut down was a disaster. Understand that he's very academically accomplished and allegedly a great debater, but don't see a lasting role in government for him. He probably thinks he'd destroy people in debates. Guess he might be angling for a job heading up a think tank, but thus far he has minimal followers among his own GOP colleagues and his big ideas have fallen flat.
 
I get Cruz. He wants to be the senior senator from Texas and the leader of the "outsider" wing of the Republican Party. The best way to do that is to tease a run for President and build an angry base willing to oppose the establishment. From there he could either run and bow out early or not run at all claiming the establishment forced him out and the GOP has gone astray. Then he can throw his weight, angry base, and PAC money behind a candidate and use them to get things done.

Rinse. Repeat.
 
Let's just stop with the nonsense about Cruz. Born in Canada to a Cuban national. Ineligible. #NaturalBornCitizen.

As long as one parent is a US citizen, children are US citizens upon birth no matter where on the globe they are born. That's very well established law.

Unless you are suddenly going to claim that the 1000s of children born to soldiers living abroad (often with partners who are locals and not US citizens) are not Americans.

Maybe he was joking?

Clearly the sarcasm was lost on you.

And the bolded statement is not entirely true.

US Citizen, yes. Natural born US citizen, not so clear.
 

This one too. Bush's people don't understand the internet.

  1. Ethan Czahor, a newly-hired aide to Jeb Bush's campaign-in-waiting, resigned today after controversy about his past offensive tweets and remarks.
  2. Czahor was to be Bush's chief technology officer. He had co-founded the website Hipster.com, a social network eventually purchased and then phased out by AOL.
  3. But reporters soon noticed that Czahor had a history of tweets and comments joking about women, gays, and blacks. Bush's team deemed his remarks "insensitive" and, one day after Czahor's hiring was first reported, announced that he had stepped down.

....

As Andrew Kaczynski of BuzzFeed News reported, several of these tweets joked about "sluts," including one that read, "New study confirms old belief: college female art majors are sluts, science majors are also sluts but uglier." Others referenced gays — Czahor tweeted that a San Francisco Gold's Gym was full of "men who undress you with their eyes while you work out."
And earlier today, Igor Bobic of the Huffington Post reported on a 2008 blog post in which the college-aged Czahor praised Martin Luther King Jr. not having "his pants sagged to his ankles" or delivering his speech in "jibberish." King didn't "drone on about every little problem a black person has faced in their life," Czahor wrote.
In a Tuesday statement announcing that Czahor was stepping down, an aide to Jeb Bush wrote that his "regrettable and insensitive" comments "do not reflect the views of Governor Bush or his organization and it is appropriate for him to step aside."

'Pubs are still bewildered by technology. Mitt, Ryan, Rove, and Scarborough believed Nate Silver was some kind of witch. Can't imagine checking someone's Facebook and Twitter posts wouldn't be part of the vetting process for anyone in a high profile technology position.

Will say that Jeb handled this much better than Rand Paul did when some staffer/speechwriter plagiarised speech passages from Wikipedia. Rather than quietly getting rid of the staffer, Rand loudly whined about it and challenged Rachael Maddow to a duel. Way to draw more attention to a problem and overreact.
