Is one of the reasons 'A Trump Type' wins. It is a reaction to The Left.

The Left's stupid, unintelligent and perhaps neurotic need to feel superior to 'The People':

Has resulted in some of the worst crimes committed against humanity.

Yes... The Left must be stopped. As a similarly dangerous 'Trump Type' must also be.

Which Left? Which Right?
That of the People?
That of the Government?
Or that of a few people or of a few that govern?
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

As Donald Trump questioned the motives of Syrian refugees at a Friday night rally, saying they "probably are ISIS," a woman sitting in the sports arena stands behind him silently stood. She was wearing a white hijab and a blue T-shirt reading, "Salam, I come in peace."
...
others accused her of having a bomb

It has happened: The stunning example of leadership
provided by The Donald has spread to Canada!

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-premier-rachel-notley-tries-to-douse-dragon-s-fire-1.3400448

Dragons' Den regular Kevin O'Leary has just offered
to bribe one of our provincial leaders out of office!
Just think, it takes billions to buy the US presidency,
here one can offer only one million dollars for the job
of provincial premier.
Thank you Donald, now we want a wall!

Well Donald Duck seems to attract the gun-ho hypercritical racist low lives over there for sure without a doubt.

No cheers here for that.

Wasn't sure whether to put this in the North Korea thread or here for a moment there.

Anyone else really scared right now?

Nahhh... not by a long shot.

Remember, it is Primary season. High political theater (ie. not meant to be taken seriously).

Remember, the Primary election cycle in the USA is the moral, ethical, and (yes) intellectual equivalent of a steel-cage battle-royal mud-wrestling event. In other words, a bloody mess.

Though, that said, I can see how you people in Canada can be concerned. Combine that footage you quoted with something else on its intellectual level... lets see...


Blame Canada!

Throw in a little Daisy Girl, and little Canadian girls might get nuked if Trump wins...

ROFL!!

Congratulations, Es99, you have given me my daily laugh.

So Gary....

Why do you believe, as Wiggo. That The American Constitution, should be considered Toilet Paper?

Do either of you have an answer?

Not specifically answering for them, but this WP item might help in explaining why the American Constitution cannot be considered as written in stone.

Whilst I generally agree with free speech, I would like it to include clauses that forbid knowingly lying**, which includes not checking the facts (e.g. stating it was on Fox News is not checking the facts), and making insults for gain.

Trump is good at putting the heat on other people, and I am kind of interested now that he brought it up, about the natural born citizen rule for Presidential eligibility.

Ya, it's pretty creepy using kids for political reasons.

[sarcasm]It's much less creepy using school children and their music teachers for political reasons.[/sarcasm]

You're right, it's much less creepy when it's a (probably misguided) grassroots effort than a candidate run televised rally.

[sarcasm]oh, that's not what you meant is it?[/sarcasm]

Jus soli, meaning 'right of the soil', is the right of anyone born in the territory of a state to nationality or citizenship. As an unconditional basis for citizenship, it is the predominant rule in the Americas, but is rare elsewhere.

As the USA generally uses English common law when it doesn't define something ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#Antecedents_in_England
And this is from the correct time period, I'm inclined to think this is what the framers had in mind with their wording.

Now the second but more important question is who has standing to challenge and what forum gets to decide the issue. I strongly suspect this is a case that SCOTUS will never hear. I suspect they would punt this back to the body that receives and tallies the votes of the electoral college. Remember in the USA we don't vote for president, we vote for electors.
