You think that him not being a politician will actually make a tangible difference?

And in a positive way?
Not at all .Obviously both the democrat and the republican establishment are scared stiff of him .
I mean we have gopher from Minnesota slagging him even though he vows to fix gopher's pet Obahmacare .
As well as the troubled VA . Fix not tear down and throw out as Cruz has stated he will .

It is to funny watching all you anti Republican (conservative ) knashing your teeth and tearing out your hair over Trump , all the while the alternative is a far right conservative hawk .

Once the Republican establishment finally get it together and nominate Cruz you will be wishing for Trump .

You can just bet that the media and advertising companies are laughing all the way to the bank, DB. Yeah, people are making big money off this ............too bad it doesn't seem to be serving the American public all that well. JMO



Don Martin interviewed Conrad Black on Power Play today and the subject was his (Connie's) friend Donald. His Lordship vouchsafed the opinion that what you are seeing on the campaign trail is but smoke and mirrors and the Real Donald Trump though not quite warm and fuzzy, is the next best thing - a really good, smart man who can build fab buildings.
Speaking of ole Conrad . Don't you find it funny that the people that are supporting dual citizenship now are the same ones that revoked his ?

Banks. What do they actually do? I I was in highschool and heard nothing about banks really. Are they important to young people? How many young people do banks eat every year?

I got my first bank account when I was 13 years old as did all my sisters. It was my parents way of teaching us to plan for the future and saving money was one aspect of it. It was strictly a savings account though with my parents permission we could make withdrawals for approved purchases. Some of us learned the lessons well, some didn't.

I bank with our local Credit Union - have for the past 20 years. I got so angry at my previous bank for all the fees they started charging - the final straw was being charged for using an ATM. First opportunity, I withdrew all my money, RSPs etc from the bank and walked over to the Credit Union. I have never looked back and my experiences with my bank are nothing but positive - as a member, I also have voting shares.

Can Cruz actually be president? I thought he was not able to be since he was born in Calgary? It would be interesting to know if there is a restriction on place of birth.

I think Trump will take the nomination. He benefits the most from a populous field. And few are actually dropping out.

I really don't know about all that , I stayed away from that one with Obama and will do the same with Cruz . If he is OK with the American people who am I to argue .

His mother was an American citizen when he was born, while she was in Canada visiting, therefore he is also an American citizen!

Which is completely irrelevant to the question, because the requirement is not that the President be an American citizen.

So, y'know, thanks for your input an' stuff.

Yes, but I thought one of the rules requires the president to be born in the USA. My wife is American thus is my son. My understanding is since he was born in Canada, he could not be president. Not sure how he is different than Cruz (other than age).

No. The Constitution says that "No person except a natural born Citizen" can be President. U.S. Const., Art. II, sec. 1. What "natural born Citizen" means is undetermined. The courts have never ruled on it. One thread of legal scholars argues that it means "automatically a citizen at the time of your birth," in which case Cruz is eligible. Another thread says that the history surrounding that clause shows the Framers meant "born in the U.S.," in which case Cruz is not eligible. Only the Supreme Court can say, and only if someone sues.

So if Cruz somehow manages to get the votes he needs for the nomination and Hillary gets what she needs we could well see both candidates end up in court? Not for the same reason mind you.
