CossackCat: Ted Cruz was born in Canada. (Father is a Cuban citizen) He is not a "Natural born" American and is therefore, not eligible to be President
I know he was born in Canada. But as I understand it, he moved to the USA when very young. He is, surely, more Cuban than Canadian.

Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1 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. Anyone who is born IN the United States is a Natural Born Citizen, no matter what country their parents are citizens of. Any person born outside of the United States, whose mother is a Citizen of the United States IS a U.S.Citizen. Thus, the person does not have to be a Natural Born Citizen, but Can be a Citizen of the U.S. HL
I would NEVER vote for Oprah To me that would be like opening the gates of hell. She should stay in her 90 million dollar home How is she going to relate or care about regular people when she cant even do her donations in anywhere but Africa no offense because to Africa but if shes going to run for office why not do something political there where they are her 1st love Its sad when average people are just used for votes for their own political gain

If you view it that way. Then any "anchor baby" from anywhere in the world, including China & Japan (we have a lot), can be president

You are absolutely correct!
I always thought one had to be a Natural Born Citizen. I had not heard the OR! But when I searched it out, I read the OR a U.S. Citizen. Actually, I was Shocked! That's not what I had previously heard or read, especially in all of the research I had done on Obama. We knew he was not a Natural Born Citizen but it appears he is a U.S. Citizen due to the citizenship of his white mother.
It will be Al Capone tactics, like in the Depression era. Democrats don't have a candidate that can identity with mainstream America But Globalists, won't go down without a fight. Be prepped and prepared
I just checked the site "IMTonline" and as of today, 3/6/19, there are 15 Democrats who have officially announced that they are running for president in 2020 ... so far (HRC is not one of them).
LaFonda: The sitting president is the most outrageous.
It's odd how someone would think that a President who is actually doing things to fix this country rather than just giving lip service is an outrageous thing. I'll admit it's certainly not what the norm has become, but outrageous?

Those on the Left don't want world leaders who actually do things. Because then they might start thinking for themselves and not "follow the script". Like Trump.

CossackCat: (2:20) Why Did Beto O'Rourke Meet With Obama?
He hasn't accomplished anything. Yet him and Cortez (who has accomplished nothing) are in the news almost daily. And they came out of no where. Is this how low the Dems have sunk? Are they Soros plants? Does this mean if O'Rourke makes it to the Senate he will run for President? Las Vegas odds makers have Trump winning in 2020 by 70%

I think this Andrew Yang is the one to watch. He has something none of the other contenders have - charisma - and that should make him the breakout star of primary season. I don't see him winning the nomination (but then I didn't see Trump winning the nomination either).
Finally, a thread with a poll that has no wrong answer because every answer is the right answer! The dems might want to do something more productive than vote and attend the Immigrants Ball on the Border on voting day.
