Do you know, if we watch it on the FBN site, are those viewing online counted in the number of viewers watching? If so, I will watch it there rather than my usual EU channel, this is an event for which I wouldn’t mind being counted. Thanks

Personally I think Cruz lost America with the NY insult. Cruz barely walked it back, he was sneering at Trump while Trump was talking about 9/11 and Cruz looked really bad IMO.
NY is America’s city, it is life, Times Square, Broadway, the city that never sleeps at night, Cruz made a mistake attacking her and not recognizing America’s attachment to her as a symbol of our greatness. NY is the heart that Muslims tried to take out for a reason.
Liberal nutter infestation aside I think Cruz made a huge error.

I also thought Cruz sounded stupid on his birther remarks. It honestly doesn’t matter what he thinks, Trump thinks, this attorney thinks or that attorney thinks, there are people who vote who believe natural born means born in this country with the exception of military kids. There are also some who are undecided what it means and you’re not going to win those folks over with comments like that. There are also those who do believe it could be a problem if he became the nominee because they do think the democrats will sue and have no idea what the SC would rule and don’t want the Republican party choosing their nominee.
IMHO he should address this seriously and not blow off their concerns.

I don’t dislike Cruz, but I am in the camp of those who believe that the issue could be a problem if he is the nominee. There is plenty of controversy about it, and it was there before Trump mentioned it.
Cruz made a good point about the “two parents” issue – many of the Cruz opponents bring it up as a reason why he isn’t eligible. Since Trump’s mother was born in Scotland, Donald wouldn’t be eligible to be President either.

Just speaking about people I talk to who have a problem with it, it’s not about who his Father is, but about him being born in Canada.
Some of those people will never vote for Cruz, so he didn’t need to win them over. However, some are on the fence and are torn about the issue and I think those are the people he hurt himself with.
Until recently I never thought much about it being an issue if he won the nomination, but now I believe it will be.
I honestly though never have believed Cruz would win the nomination because the GOPe would see to that. So I don’t think it will get to that point.
I just didn’t like how he handled the issue tonight. I know some Texans who love Cruz and helped get him elected who either don’t think he’s eligible for President or are torn about it.

I have seen comments that this wouldn’t be determined by the supreme court, that it would be up to congress as they would have to pass an amendment to the constitution to decide it? I wish I knew more about that because I don’t know who is right on that.
LikeLike
Congress cannot pass an amendment by themselves. Congress would have to have 2/3 of the House and Senate approve it then send it to the states where three-fourths would have to ratify it.
No way that could happen in time. So if he were to be the nominee and the democrats wanted to contest it then it would go through the courts. I guess the SC could refuse to hear it, but it would be put on a speed rush.
Personally, I think if Cruz is serious about running and knowing what the democrats could do he should petition the court to define natural born.

I’m not saying the burden of proof is on him, but saying since he’s the one running and he’s the one who could be challenged and the courts could define natural born as being born on this land. He owes it to the voters to ask a court before Hillary does it for him, possibly screwing us all.
In a way it would also be nice to have it once and for all defined one way or the other.

Cruz should start the process of answering the question.
He can petition the court for a declaratory decree which defines NBC. Cruz needs a statutory law, in other words Cruz needs the NBC law legally defined. Right now it is written law but NBC has never been defined to the satisfaction of a court of consequence.
That is what Tribe justly if not sinisterly takes umbrage with when it comes to Cruz. Cruz knows that it is not settled law.

I don’t think Cruz was sneering, but if he was it was because it was such an obvious way for Trump to come out on top with that issue. I mean, who is going to argue that point? I think Trump came out on top there, but Cruz came out on top on the birther issue.
I also think Cruz was attacking liberal NY not the state. But I admit I missed a great deal of the debate, so you probably saw things I didn’t.

Hi Tessa happy to get your view,
I bring my Trump bias with me so keep that in mind but I thought Cruz looked terrible on the NY issue. I know, and you know, and everyone here knows that Cruz was talking about the Liberal Haven that is undeniably NY. But informed voters are in the minority and Cruz alienated a boatload of people who won’t look over the insult. IMO Cruz is mistaken if he thinks his NY insults are going to be received any other way than emotionally by 90% of America.
I thought Cruz did a good job by bringing up Tribe’s deep liberal roots, but I think Cruz should have said to Trump that Tribe believes that Cruz is a NBC. But that is part of the wisdom and wit of Trump, Cruz brought up Tribes liberalism so then he can’t very well say and by the way Laurence Tribe thinks I am a NBC.
Trump is wily.
On the birther issue I thought Cruz lost when he used his “I’m a bigger man than you Donald J Trump” voice and said “I’m not going to use your mother against you.”

I thought the “legal advice ” was a good line. I might be wrong about the 90% no way to gage it though. I like chatting with people who come with a different view point. No reason for name calling and being mean spirited.
IMO Cruz should have answered the moderators question with something along the line of;
“Look Trump, himself has talked about how everyone in NY is a liberal democrat and you have to go along to get along, those are the NY values that I am against but I respect with every fiber of my being the New Yorkers who rose to the occasion on 9/11 and the everyday New Yorker who is as patriotic as anyone else.”
Cruz would have effectively neutralized a rebuttal by Trump.

Cruz wasn’t given a chance to respond after Trump, but Cruz got the question first from the moderator and chose to double down by further insulting NY and New Yorkers. Cruz played the hand poorly in my opinion which opened the door for Trump to talk about 9/11. It was up to Cruz to neutralize the question as it was directly queried of him by one of the mods.
Donald smartly jumped in to defend NY.

I saw a replay on Fox with Bartelomo and I discovered that I missed last night when Cruz made a distinction between NY State and NY City during his doubling down against “NY values”. Nevertheless, his response hurt him with those who have some actual, emotional, psychic connection with the nightmare that was the collapsed towers.
Having made that point, no Republican Presidential candidate expects to get NY’s electoral votes. Donald Trump would be the exception in the sense that he might get NY’s, in my opinion. Further, there are people in a wide berth around NY City–in NJ, CT, PA and RI who have such a connection to that carnage.

I thought the look on Cruz’s face was the recognition that he made one big fat mistake and his whole life flashed before his eyes.
[Below is something I elsewhere.]
We will know in the next 24 hours whether my reaction was only personal. The thing about what Cruz said is that it is held widely throughout the US, but not only outside NY(State).
At that moment, I thought Cruz was finished. It remains to be seen whether this will be noticed.
When I first traveled throughout the country, I learned that when people asked where I was from, I had to put “State” at the end of “New York” because everyone thought I meant New York City. I’m from a small town within New York State.
People who live within a couple hours driving distance from NYC have a similar opinion of NYC that Cruz expressed in the debate, hence my identification.
Mr. Trump is definitely a New Yorker and he is probably less conservative than the former Governor of NY, Pataki, and possibly more conservative than Mitt Romney.
Ted Cruz is a brilliant constitutional conservative. He has plead in Supreme Court. This can’t be taken from him.

It has been 24 hours and it appears that it may take longer to realize the full affects of the exchange between Trump and Cruz over “NY [city] values”.
What’s a fact–some may disagree–is that Trump’s references to 9/11 and those who died and were involved in the clean-up has nothing to do with Cruz’s point. Nothing. NY City is a one-party city and everyone is at the mercy of the far-left in the same manner as San Francisco. (Aside: NY City makes NY State a one-party State.)
If someone wants to argue against this statement, then I want to see that line of reason, as I want to be on the correct side of this issue. My desire is distinct from the ultimate goal of preventing a Democrat from taking the oath of office in January, ’17. In other words, if I thought that sinking Cruz now increases the likelihood of achieving this goal, then I will act accordingly. I don’t think this now.

I’ll give you an example to consider (rather than argue). Detroit is a Democrat city, populated mainly by progressives. I am a conservative who lives in a nearby suburb. If Cruz said that about Detroit, I would be insulted.
I know this because Detroit is frequently insulted (with some justification); often it is tenuously linked to some other discussion (examples: If crime in ____________ continues to climb, the city will become another Detroit. Detroit is a junkyard. Someone should just blow it up.)
New York is not usually insulted, and most of its inhabitants and inhabitants of surrounding communities are proud of their #1 city. If I am annoyed by insults to Detroit (which is commonly insulted), how much more annoyed will citizens of New York be?
The fact is that both cities have many things to be proud of, and nobody likes to be told that their city is inferior in some way by an outsider.

I am a Chicago native, I have Chicago values, they are not values shared by the mad liberals who have made Chicago a living hell hole in many parts of the city. If Cruz said what he said about Chicago because of our corrupt politicians, our crime ridden streets, Mayor Ballerina Rahm, et al, I would be unhappy that Cruz considered the “values of the corrupt”, the values of Chicago.
The dear leaders are not the values of everyone or even most people in Chicago. There are many good decent people in Chi Town fighting a corrupt system, just like there are many good decent people in America fighting the corrupt system. I don’t think there has been an honest election in Chicago since the mayor Daley reigned over the city.
Obama, Lynch, Pelosi, Biden, Clinton, they may be the official face of America, but they do not represent American values.
A quick example of Chicago politics, I worked for a republican candidate when I was 18, the day after the election the Fire Marshal came in to inspect my parent’s store, he had not been in once in the previous 9 years. He found about a dozen violations, gave my parents a date to fix them by and never returned to inspect the building again. Message sent.
