Someone serious should challenge Biden so we don't have to deal with the clowns who will get 10 percent off the back of not being 80

Trump might actually win a debate if so. Let's not allow him to put that on a resume.

Hed urged at least a dozen people to enter the race before deciding to try for it himself, as proxy for Democratic opposition to Biden, focusing on popular issues like a higher minimum wage, a public option for healthcare, and paid family leave.

He knows he can't do well, he's just the only guy he could find willing to run a protest campaign.

Nah. Between two subpar guys at Cenk at least supports more good policy.

But he will receive campaign donations, which his campaign will use to purchase copies of his book to give away at rallies and fundraisers. And thus he's laundering money into his personal bank account while making himself into a best selling author.

The case he's citing, Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163 (1964) expressly, and I mean expressly states that the natural born citizenship requirement in Article II is an exception to the rule that naturalized citizens have the full extent of rights conferred on natural born citizens.

We start from the premise that the rights of citizenship of the native born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the natural born citizen is eligible to be President. Art. II, s 1.

Edit: He doesn't even cite the case. He cites a law review article putting forth the author's opinion and conclusion.

I still watch the damage report but only when a few people are on, I can't stand that giggling lady or that senator, mainly because they don't feel genuine they feel like they're acting.

This is a man who got six percent of the vote in California race.

Anyway if he was smart he would wait for 2028 and also work out his argument about how he can run despite being born in Turkey. Because right now that and the fact that the DNC are all in on Biden means no one else is running as a democrat.

Is this some kind of troll or is he actually the most delusional man there is? OMG Biden, basically the most famous democrat there is might lose. We need to quickly get a guy no one knows about on the ballot because he will surely win! HUH!?

To prevent foreign powers from gaining the role of president. The US had just fought a war to be free from the rule of England.

While immigrants who move here can't run their children due to be born on us soil are.

I believe what Cenk has said is that he's not planning on winning, but he wants other democrats to challenge Biden in the primary. According to him a bunch of other prominent democrats will jump into the race if he gets 20-30% popularity in the polls and the democratic party will end up with a stronger candidate than Biden who can then beat Trump.

It is of course an overconvoluted drivel plan that relies on 4 or 7 dumb assumptions, most notably that he will ever get enough poll ratings to trigger this wilderbeest stampede.

I would wager that 90% of people that run for President are grade A narcissists, which pretty neatly explains this behavior.
