TRUMP!!

You're all giving me nightmares.

Nobody knows exactly what a 'natural-born citizen' is supposed to be as it has never been tested in court. Had McCain won in 2008 then possibly the Obama camp, or even a private citizen somewhere, might have started legal proceedings to dispute his eligibility for the office on the grounds that he wasn't born in the USA. But I doubt wherever such action would have got anywhere. McCain is an American through and through. The exact location of his birth doesn't affect that.

Churchill surely can't be considered a 'natural born US citizen' despite his mother's nationality. He wasn't a citizen in the first place (or at least until he was 90 years of age when he was granted honorary citizenship). Churchill was raised as British in one of the grandest stately homes in the country and his father was a prominent British politician. He never even visited the USA until he was an adult.

Johnson has a better claim than Churchill despite neither of his parents being Americans, as he holds a US passport, has paid American taxes, and there is nothing wrong with dual-citizens wanting to be president. Ted Cruz, has dual US-Canadian nationality. However Johnson cannot stand for president as he needs to have been, in addition to being a citizen and over 35 years of age, a US permanent resident for at least 14 years.

even if Obama hadn't been born in the USA - which he was - then he still would have been eligible to run for president in 2008. Why should Ted Cruz be eligible, but not Obama, when Cruz also only has one American parent? Even without Obama being born in Hawaii after it was admitted to the Union, in 2008 Obama was a citizen with an American parent, over the age of 35, and had been a permanent resident of the USA for over 14 years just like Ted Cruz is now.

I have to hand it to this guy...
Even the bloody Pope is talking about him now! LoL

Trump wins South Carolina by a huge margin.

Well if Trump does get the nomination then I'm going straight to the bookies to bet on the Republicans not taking ONE of the big four States - California, New York (which is supposed to be his home state), Texas, and Florida in November. The last time that happened was in 1964. In fact if you take a look at the map of the result of the 1964 election, I anticipate that if Trump does get the 2016 nomination, it will look pretty much the same. He'll get only the most redneck states - Louisiana, Mississipi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. He won't take Arizona like Goldwater did in 1964. Arizona was Goldwater's home state. Trump might just take Alaska this time though, which Goldwater couldn't manage in 1964, especially if Sarah Palin becomes the first person ever to become the vice presidential candidate of two different losing presidential candidates.

You sound a bit like a waffling,fidgeting,blathering and rather useless hedge fund managers to me.

Trump wins in Nevada..

Dear United States,

It was funny to begin with, but now you are scaring us!

I wouldn't worry too much mate. Even if he gets the nomination, he won't win the general election and especially not Nevada, which is one of the swing states. There's far too many Latinos there.

I wouldn't rate you as a tipster; your prediction was spectacularly wrong - Trump got 45.9% of the vote in Nevada whilst Rubio got 23.8% and Cruz 21.3%.

"the republican vote" Mark not the Electorate

Go Trump !

actually Trump did surprisingly well apparently among Republican-leaning Latinos in Nevada, and everyone was looking out for that because the previous two primaries/caucasuses were in states with only a minimal amount of Latinos. And Nevada is a large swing state (while New Hampshire is a swing state too, it is a much smaller one). Not all Latinos automatically go into the Democratic column. Some of them are habitual GOP voters. But not too many people expect Trump to get more than the 27% of the Latino vote nationwide that Romney got last time should he get the nomination. Obama's team, who are the best in the business, correctly identified that Latinos were key to their securing re-election in 2012. They are 12% of the entire US electorate. And each election in the immeadiate future they will get more. The median age of Latinos/Hispanics in the United States is 27. For Americans as a whole, it is 37.
