Besties?
Stop the presses!
A lawsuit’s been filed in Cook County, Chicago against Ted Cruz‘s eligibility for the high office of President of The United States. And guess what, It will be heard. Wow.
This may dominate the political news for the next several weeks.
The surprise is that is was filed by a lawyer named Lawerence Joyce who just happens to be a Ben Carson supporter. Even though it had been Donald Trump who had come after Cruz on this issue.
The basis for the lawsuit is real.
Cruz was born in Canada, and while his mother was a U.S. Citizen his father was not. The rules state you must be born in the United States or if you migrate to the U.S. both parents needed to be U.S. Citizens. Clearly that’s not eh case with Cruz.
Oh, boy.There are some possible loop-holes which might protect Cruz. However, the constitutional rules are unclear. So while Cruz can argue his point, he also could lose.
Then what?
Is Donald Trump behind all this?
We don’t really know.
But face it, Ben Carson has zero shot at winning the nomination.
In fact, in all likelihood Carson will be under pressure along with Jeb Bush to drop out of the race as soon as both are crushed in South Carolina by Trump, Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Carson and Bush are likely to get less than 10% of the vote again.
Carson and Bush have said they may stay in, but that could easilychange change. Because if they stay in, establishment Republicans are concerned there will never be a clear No. 2 behind Trump.
Meaning the Donald might pretty much lock up the nomination really soon. He does look pretty unbeatable at this time.
Trump and Carson have always seemed like debate buddies, so is it possible Trump master minded this plan with gentle Ben his choice for vice president?
It makes some sense.
Carson could bring in the minority votes needed to win against the democrat.
As of today, Trump is now leading not only the Republican party, but in most polls against both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
And the Pope’s attack on Trump not being a good Christian may only help Trumpeter.
Besides, all the republicans – not just Trump – and to build the wall.
So singling Trump out was not a blow but a strange kind of recognition of Trump’s power and standing.
Trump continues to be THE NEWS daily and is far ahead of all the other candidates.
It’s his race to lose now.
Sounds like Trump is a Glazer wannabe
glaze….there are at least 6 mistakes in your article.
Please stop. And only an idiot would pay attention to the
totally wrong polls in a national election.
An idiot would not take into account the electoral college.
but with you we only get b.s.
Please stop!
Glazer earned a BS degree? LOL
I love the photo–Cruz’s jacket is swimming on him! I guess he was not endorsed by Michaels MensWear store…
I DID OK, I SAT BY YOU BABE
Good sweet lord this article is an editorial mess. You are a boob Glayzer.
Wow we sure are sorry about that.
Arguing with Craig is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to s**t on the board and strut around like it won anyway.
sd…funny line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no dude he is an idiot on this subject.
I advised him to stop writing all together. To stop doing radio (read he can’t
even go into entercom) and the negative comments about his stories here
on kcc are approaching the one seen on tonys trashy blog.
Watched the Town Hall formats the last two nights with the GOP candidates and while you don’t get the friction and fireworks, you also don’t get the 30 second sound bite answers. The chance for a candidate to face a voter directly is powerful and one can form a very different opinion. While I’m a democrat, Carson is an extremely likable and capable guy. We could do a lot worse. I thought Rubio had a positive night the first night also. Cruz, ehhh. Last night I thought Kasich was good and Bush didn’t shoot himself but not getting Nikki Haley’s endorsement really hurt him I think with the SC voters. He has his back to the wall now, but I still don’t see him dropping out yet.
With Trump, I think he does better in a debate format than a Town Hall format. I thought he blew almost every question he was asked. The question on whether he should have called Bush a liar didn’t go well for him and when the insurance agent asked him about his plan to replace Obamacare, he rambled on about the proposed budget for awhile. At least twice before, Trump has talked about a single payer plan and how much less countries that have it now, spend on health care but last night he completely ran away from his previous support for a single payer plan (smart) and gave the standard GOP response on eliminating state line barriers. The questioner didn’t look like he was happy with the response. I don’t think the question on his temperament went especially well for him either. Trump did fine for the most part dealing with the Pope issue. Probably a minor thing but the other five candidates over both nights all stood up and walked over to face the questioner when the audience got involved. Trump stayed seated. I still don’t think Trump is a true Republican but that’s not my call. Really anxious to see how South Carolina plays out.
One topic I’d love to see addressed here is Kansas City political consultant Jeff Roe who is heading up Cruz’s strategy. Roe has a “dirty tricks” reputation and it is showing with a lot of the questionable moves Cruz has made ( the message in Iowa about Carson dropping out, the online message about Trey Gowdy withdrawing his endorsement of Rubio, the photoshopped picture of Rubio shaking hands with Obama, etc.).
imagine trump oneon one with Hillary in a debate on the issues.
Iimagine trump not knowing anything about health care…saying
as usual “lets destroy ACA” then going stupid without a plan to
replace it leaving everyone without insurance. Or he says bomb the
hell out of Libya/Syria then Hillary explaining her personal intake and
involvement in the situation and how bush cause all this and how congress
didn’t work with the rest of the government to hlp avoid this situation.
Trump knows nothing about politics/current events/and yes he can attract
the low information/racist American crowd including the white
supremecists like chucklet but one on one he’s TOAST.
He can yell all the inflamattory comments he wants….but Hillary only
needs to remind the 40 million Hispanics of trumps hatred of them to
win the election.
And even if pretty boy rubbit is up there with her…hes so lazy she’ll wipe
the floor with his spray on hair.
Yes stomp…when these guys have to speak for an hour to an hour and
a half (especially rubbit who has 4lines and how many times can he repeat
them?) they’ll look like idiots in both domestic and foreign affairs.
SORRY SOUTHY/WHINEY……its gonna be fun.
The rethugs need to do a little homework…but it won’t save them.
The only question remains is a) who will Trump choose as his VP and b) by how many votes will The Donald pulverize dumbocrat flotsam (hildabest) or jetsam (sanders) …

Making America Great Again, one state primary at a time… ‘President’ TRUMP 2016!
🙂
Check this out kids. Interesting
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/18/opinion/how-to-win-an-election.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickS=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-right-region®ion=opinion-c-col-right-region-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region
The video is interesting.
At about 4:50 he makes the point that “Fear” drives the electorate and shows wolves approaching the camera while claiming Kerry cut the defense budget by 6 billion, then, shows the Twin Towers coming down. His implication in my opinion, is that the “Fear” that people have is unfounded in fact, then, again, he shows the Twin Towers coming down.
If fear, derived from facts, drives the electorate, then why is he apologizing for it? Did the Twin Towers come down and are Muslims the catalyst for 99% of the terrorist attacks in the world?
Is this 3rd world, stone age cult, responsible for terror or not? Does that culture, have a history of terror and violence over the last 1400 years that we Americans should be fearful of or not?
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/05/the_greatest_murder_machine_in_history.html
His claims that elections have just recently become “win at all costs” endeavors is preposterous.
So, if it were to come down to Canadian Cruz and indicted Hillary, will the parties do a do over? What court is hearing the Cruz case? Is there standing? The solution for all is just appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court. He knows the Constitution, has argued cases before the high body, and would follow in Scalia’s footsteps. Problem: Obama won’t nominate and Senate won’t Confirm.
>Is there standing?
Yes, there is standing. The Civil Procedure problem here is ripeness. Is it ripe if Cruz wins the nom and is placed on the ballot under the Repbublican (this is my opinion) or is it after he is possibly elected president.
The most likely outcome is that the Supreme Court will punt on making a decision altogether because of what they call “Political Question Doctrine” which is:
A “textually demonstrable constitutional commitment of the issue to a coordinate political department; or”
A “lack of judicially discoverable and manageable standards for resolving it; or”
The “impossibility for a court’s independent resolution without expressing a lack of respect for a coordinate branch of the government; or”
The “impossibility of deciding the issue without an initial policy decision, which is beyond the discretion of the court; or”
An “unusual need for unquestioning adherence to a political decision already made; or”
The “potentiality of embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question.”
(Baker v. Carr, 1962)
If the case is prosecuted after Cruz wins, Cruz will likely stay president despite his Canadian problem because of #5.
cowboy…thought you were a lawyer or was that liar?
no one’s been indicted yet and your information comes from right wing
manifestos.
Cruz has the same chance of being in supreme court as you have of being
the pope (NONE)
When you have something intelligent to say get back with us. Til then
please keep your hands off your keyboard and your trap shut.
And please pleas e to a higher power….give trump the nomination….the dems
would pulverize this worthless lying greedy sob!
Interesting issue.
Since Teddy was born in Calgary, Canada, to a Cuban father and an American mother, it is legally unclear (that is, there has a yet been no ruling on this issue) whether the psychopath is qualified to run for the office. The normal rules are as follows:
1. Born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ citizenship;
2. Born outside the U.S. to at least one American parent;
3. Born outside the US, then naturalized & subsequently granted U.S. citizenship.
Cruz clearly quals #2…except for this:
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The issue at hand is the term “natural born Citizen.”
Regardless of the legal outcome (for or against Cruz, in particular) it is nice to see this ambiguous language finally addressed by the courts: one only has to remember the weird national urge to have Arnie run to understand why…
Time for Cruz to go. He did horrible in SC. I bet he wishes he could control things like Harry Reid did for Clinton yesterday in Nevada. Creating votes where there are no votes is a magic trick only a seasoned crooked politician like Reid could do.
M Y WISH IS CLOSER…AND YES IT WAS HARLEY WHO HAS BEEN RIGHT 100%
OF THE TIME.
STOMP NEEDS OTHERS TO TELL HIM WHAT’S HAPPENINGAND THEN
HE’S WRONG.
GLAZE…WELLHE’S GLAZE…WRONG TIME AND TIME AGAIN…A REAL
MINCH.
THEN HARLEY SAYS WHAT HAPPENS MONTHS IN ADVANCE…BECAUSE HARLEY KNOWS/ANALYZES/ AND CAN USE STATSTO DETERMINE THE
END RESULTS.
GLAZE IS GLAZE….FUZZY MATH….MORE MISTAKES THAN AN “F” TERM
PAPER AND HIS WALKING AROUND TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT.
So as long as there’s 4 or 5 candidates splitting up the anti trump repub vote
trump can win. As the other clowns drop out of the circus and head back to
their regular jobs more votes go to the “establishment” candidates…..If
they toss Cruz the filthy dog out the race will go to Rubio who has no chance
in the general.
As I have said the race depends on the Hispanic vote and Hillary did great there.
I pray trump get nomination because Hillary will rip off his head and beat him
by landslide numbers. I am waiting for demo numbers to come in so I can
see how strong Hillary will be in the general. Rethug candidate MUST get in the
40’s-45% of Hispanic vote or its not even close…trump/rubio will get 8% and the
little young dude who now wants total deportation (like trump) will get maybe
20%.
Harley was perfect in 2012….he looks to be perfect in 2016 also. The rest of
the kcc crowd is far behind on all the subjects from sports to politics…but
glaze might know the hotties but the clock is ticking on him there.
So I will be waiting anxiously for south Carolina primary dem votes and Nevada
repub votes.
Sanders really had to win Nevada. Its a caucus state and that’s the type of states
where a”revolutionary/out of the establishment” candidate must do well.
Bye Bernie!!!!!!!!
Bye Jeb!!!!!!!
Bye Cruz: if he loses the lawsuits (and it wasn’t just carson supporters who filed
the suits against cruz….it was multiple suits filed in several states…another mistake
among many in glaze’s dreamland article).
Please….for southy/whiney/glaze/ may trump get the nomination…but other
candidates dropping out will make it harder for him.
Welp…Trump is nearing the end of the trail for locking up the nomination. We were one of the first to say he could and would get that done. It’s a bit surprising yes. With Bush gone and soon Carson that gets it down somewhat to a three man race. As long as its three TRUMP WINS…the others two split the vote and he wins nearly every primary. Just the way it is.
As for Demo’s well its far from decided yet. Hilary is in a gun battle with Bernie…I think Clinton will win but the old guy still has a ‘shot.’
As time moves forward we will be looking at the likely debates and stories of a Trump-Clinton run. I’ll say it now…Trump will beat her.
We will have to see if James Comey will end the search for our hero Dogenes. If so, then Hillary will be indicted. That is Bern’s only hope, the fix is in.

The more you look at this race, the more you see Donald Trump as the next president. His momentum is just massive and media loves him. He is a star, nobody else really is that are they. He is ANTI ESTABLISHMENT and the ‘people’ love that. Though a billionaire, a middle of the road guy, doesn’t have a clear plan guy…doesn’t matter. The nation is fed up with politics as usual…he is the new rock star….I think he wins. When its just him and Hilary or Bernie…he just has more attention, more charm, more ‘regular guy’ talk then the ohters….Hilary is smarter, she is much more up on things than Donald, but he will attack her and charm the tv viewers on the debates against her. I don’t think she can beat him. Sanders would give Trump a tougher road, he has less to attack. He seems a ‘good and caring guy’ … Clinton comes off as ‘boy I just want to be president..think of the parties and people who will look up to me that much more’ Trump may in real life be the same..but we all think he’s tougher, and won’t take the b.s. and maybe just maybe will appoint ‘managers’ to high office with experience to get it done and truly make things better….I think its Trump’s job to lose now. I believe he will win it all. p.s. I usually am a democrat…hmm.
Stop ‘telling it like it is’, CG; you’re breaking that paragraphically immense, categorically minute intellect ‘exclamation point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ guy’s ‘h’eart…
Jeb’s gone, soon rest the pretenders will follow; another primary, another step closer final nail the coffin same flotsam hildabeast and jetsam sanders. Proving all of the ‘you can’t do it thata way, thata’s not the way things are done around here’ politicos & pundit types media, despite their very best efforts obfuscate, denigrate and dismiss Him:
‘LANDSLIDE’ TRUMP 2016 – RIDE THE WAVE!
🙂
You are an idiot when it comes to politics glaze. The only teaser you get
in politics is when idiots make predictions which are wrong time and time
again.
I know so many republicans who will sit out the election and if you had
any ba**s you’d put your money up behid what you say.
You will look even more the fool after the election than you did on the
super bowl. Harley was right…and you looked the part of an idiot.
Sorry….facts are facts…..trump can’t win because he won’t get any
Hispanics to vote for him and the republican party will die…it almost
has died….
“After Trump has won in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Republicans are crazy and about to blow the White House if we don’t rally to stop him,” he said. “It’s certainly time that we have to consolidate the race.”
HALEY BARBOUR……REPUBLICAN….and a very popular republican governor
of Mississippi…..
SO THERE ARE LOTS OF HIGH POWERED REPUBLICANS WHO ARE WITH HARLEY! EVEN MITT ROMNEY AGREESWITH HARLEY! HAHAHAHAHAH!
LANDSLIDE BY DEMS IN NOVEMBER.
PUT SOME MONEY ON IT LOSERS~
I don’t know bout a landslide K, but with media in love with Donald, he just has the edge right now. Simple as that. People want a ‘new’ hero and seems they see that in him, could it change, of course. I don’t see that coming right now.
of course you never finished math. Only 30% of the republicans want
trump and many many hate this man. Go look at the polls of the per
cent of republicans who would not vote for him. And he needs the
ground game already established by the repub party to win.
Obviously glaze thinks he’s a star (wrong)
And last night wwe were scrolling thru tv channels and came upon
glazes hero jj in his own show WHO WANTS TO DATE A COMEDIAN.
It was jj and two horrid women were competing for a date with the
guy. One was a 6’5″ black woman nicknamed HOT CHOCOLATE…I
kid you not. The other was a white woman with a 50’s hairdo and her
chest handing out of a wal mart dress. JJ bombed on a few jokes.
They went to play miniature gold and JJ asked the girls what their
secret was. The black women rolled her 8 inch tongue down toher
chin….and the white woman (horrid looking) said she had a
hankering for lots of sex.
WORST SHOW ON TV.
COME ON GLAZE…CALL THE HEAD OF COMEDY CENTRAL AND TELL
THEM YOUR SHOW WOULD BE GETTING BETTER VIEWERSHIP
BECAUSE JJ’S WAS A COMPLETE MESS. GET ME THE DUDES
NUMBER AND I’LL MAKE THE CALL FOR YOU.
WE LOVE JJ …THINK HE’S DYNOMITE….AND HE’S MUCH BETTER
IN PERSON……SEEN HIM BEFORE.
BUT YOUR SHOW SHOULD BE ON CC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
YOUR’S WOULD BE A HUGE HIT!
ALL THE NAMES all the attacks on me article is not about me…HOWEVER LETS SAY IT AGAIN ‘PRESIDENT TRUMP’ HE IS ON HIS WAY GUYS…TO THE WHITE HOUSE…NO STOPPING HIM. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP…get used to it.
got some money to put on it BOY…..
or are you chickennBOY?
“The rules state you must be born in the United States or if you migrate to the U.S. both parents needed to be U.S. Citizens.:
So children born to a parent in the Military or on vacation in a foreign country are not natural born citizens? If an Army Capt marries a woman in Spain and they have a child, you think this child is not natural born? The actual “rule” as you call it is this…Must be born to at least one natural born citizen of the U.S. who resided at least 3 years on US soil. Cruz mother was born here. Period. This is just another shell game for the rubes by PT Trump, much like his birther feud over Obama. Cruz wont be President for a multitude of reasons, but not because of birther claims. Its going to come down to Hillary vs Trump and there isnt much difference between them. We are screwed either way. In fact, a CNN anchor described Bernie’s beliefs and asked Trump who she had described, he replied “Me, Donald Trump”.
‘President’ TRUMP with another knockout tonight, this time in Nevada! 3% of the vote in, and he has already slain all the pretenders.
Making America Great Again, one state primary at a time… TRUMP 2016!
🙂
Yes Trump is the Repbulican nominee now. It’s all but over. Now its him facing Clinton.
