    It would be a a bad look for Dems and will make them seem like they are trying to take control of the White House in a shady way. Even if they were justified it would get spun and twisted so much it could turn off some on the fence voters.

    Nah, that was textbook for what happens when you truly bully a bully. Same reason why he can't fire anyone directly. Weak and feeble underneath the facade.

    You’re right, I’m quite confused because I’m trying to use right wing logic.

    I believe he’s eligible, because like you said the 14th amendment which also applies to Kamala Harris.

    2020 and we don't know how to hold a fair election. We pretended '16 didn't happen, and many of us just assume that foreign countries are going to hack into the '20 election in favor of the traitor in the WH.

    ok. I feel like I need to preface everything I’m about to say. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS ARGUMENT. I AM MERELY SUMMARIZING THE CASE THEYRE TRYING TO MAKE

    it matters to these people because of the 14th amendment.

    “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

    In particular, what does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean in this context. The anti-birthright movement has latched onto this language and argues that this requires your parents not to be “transient” or with “dual loyalties” and to be in the country legally. For example, Kids born to diplomats of foreign countries stationed here do not have birthright citizenship. Trump’s parents being permanent residents would be “subject to the jurisdiction” regardless of their own citizenship status. Kamala Harris’ parents, I thought I read, were here allegedly on student visas (that could be bullshit). So the argument would be that they were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States because they were merely temporary residents.

    but, her being born in California would make her a citizen every bit as much as trump being born in NY makes him one, right? Unless that has been done away with.

    I can see that case, understand the point it's making, and respond that it's based in white nationalist and racist bullshit, and that anyone who truly believes that justification can go scuba diving with concrete flippers.

    Don't try to argue this argument. It's too stupid. It is trying to thread a moronic line that would get you tossed from 1L con law class at a school so bad even pez could get in.

    I understand it to mean colonies based on the time period in which it was written. Now, I would imagine it applies to army bases, territories, etc.

    I know you’re not making it so we should stop but under current law she is a US citizen as much as trump is, right? Only racist assholes don’t see it that way, right? So let’s move on and not take up any more type arguing something neither one of us believes.

    Lucky for us China wants Trump to lose, so we just have to hope their hackers are better than Russia’s.

    So we got that going for us.

    except that according to the intelligence reports Russia is actively attempting to do stuff whereas China just said they’d prefer Trump to lose because he makes the US unstable. The media attempt to paint as both nations taking active roles which wasn’t the case.
