Kamala Harris will campaign in the Lone Star State, not because she expects to win Texas, but because she wants to shine a light on Texas’ abortion ban.

      You mean Canadian born Raphael Cruz? It’s disrespectful to call a republican anything but their name assigned at birth.

        I strenuously object to you claiming that he’s a Canadian.

        It’s true, I just strenuously object. You keep him.

        He’s Canadian?..how did he run for president?

        Edit: his moms a citizen, he didn’t come to the states till he was 4, but he was hoping that was loophole enough I guess

          The actual requirement is “natural born citizen”, which doesn’t really have a formal definition. The most reasonable interpretation is “citizen from birth”. While that includes everyone born on US soil, people born elsewhere can still meet that requirement. John McCain was born on a US base in Panama.

            Technically, I think the base counts as US territory as far as citizenship-from-birth goes, but I could be wrong.

            The big one for people born abroad is if one of their parents is a citizen at the time of their birth. If you’re an American citizen, go to France for college, and have a kid with a French citizen while you’re there, the kid will have both American and French citizenship.

      Wouldn’t that be the most amazing form of this election? Kamala wins, and the reason the Dems are able to get a trifecta - is because Ted fuckin’ Cruz loses his seat.

      • Nobody likes Ted Cruz and frankly I feel like the Republicans would blame Cruz for being a fuck up before anything else. Like obviously theyll claim it was stolen but before that narrative gets going the ractuon will be blaming Ted Cruz.

        So when is someone going to point out that Ted Cruz is an immigrant?
