Nice to see Republicans on the move. Now we just need to get these people out to vote during the mid-terms. If the Dims take the House, it's over, because the RINOs will side with the Dims every time.

Folks - - Always, always remember:

HAPPY REPUBLICANS LOSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET OUT & VOTE !!

In my locality, I've heard that the Democrat party is attending citizenship swearing in ceremonies to register people for that party. Historically, one point of immigration was Philadelphia. I imagine they have an active recruitment drive as well.

Plus many 20 somethings who moved in and put Independent are Republicans. I know 2 in my family. Afraid friends will find out. Crazy but true.

Such an excellent real check on the pulse of these key states. Your presented data really paints an important picture!

Looking forward to your book coming out and am so impressed with the plans you and Rachel are making to help Vets. *Appreciate you always being the voice of reason for those of us who are trying to detox from X.

Seth - - As a way to instruct folks about the most misunderstood term in our Constitution, I included his name and others to demonstrate that many think they know the Constitution, but have misconceptions about who is eligible.

You have on occasion commented upon Vance and Rubio as potential candidates. I was not trying to hijack your thread, but trying to insert real facts that need to be known by all who want to discuss potential candidates, You deal in facts. You know how important it is to get facts correctly to predict outcomes.

Consider my comments as helping educate any reader to know this important fact about eligibility for office. If Nikki Hailey was being pushed as a possible candidate the way the media ducusses Marco, I would have used her as the example.

As a Florida native and a resident of N.C. for the past 21 years I pray for N.C. can get their red wave going. Those 2 counties are such a disgrace.

A factor that you may want to evaluate and include for Nevada, is the growing Non-Partisan voters, especially after the Dem controlled 2025 NV Legislature introduced and passed a bill for Open Primaries. It was surprising the Republican Governor signed it.

They always track with the party reg.

James - - Please read Article One, Section 1 of the Constitution where it states: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; …”

This should answer your question. The Founding Fathers realized the dual loyalty issue prohibition would limit who could run for office and provided a temporary work around.

The 14th has nothing to do with it at all. It did not exist until after Civil War, but the requirement of natural born citizen was established and followed for six decades before the 14th was even drafted. So the 14th changed nothing about eligibility for election to office of President. You confuse the 14th’s “native born” with the original requirement of “natural born” set down about seventy years earlier. Please read the link that I included in my first comment. Once informed, you will understand what I am saying.

I’m still confused as to why Rubio is a subject of this comments section in an article about party registration.

Larry misread yesterday's post. He seems to think you said Liberal violence is ebbing.

Jim James's avatar

Very good stuff. Thanks.

I don't see much relevant to '28, in the sense that increases in R strength are in states that Trump won comfortably. I think NH registration is a mess, open to fraud, so I don't expect that to change. New Jersey registers by party, and was surprisingly close in '24. How about looking there?

You mentioned a possible US Senate seat loss in North Carolina. But what about a pick up in New Hampshire? Thoughts on that race?

Capt. Seth Keshel's avatar

ONLY if the GOP holds NC. I can’t see a scenario with a NH win and NC loss in the same national environment. And even then, maybe a 1 in 3 chance depending on nominee.

Seth - - As great as Marco Rubio is, he CANNOT BE ELECTED as Prez. He is NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as required by the Constitution. See: https://puzo1.blogspot.com/2009/04/article-ii-natural-born-citizen-means.html

A Natural Born Citizen is one whose parents WERE BOTH CITIZENS when he/she was born. Rubio's parents were Cuban refugees who gained citizenship when he was four years old.

Yes, KamelHo Harris WAS NOT ELIGIBLE ! Her parents were Jamaican and Indian citizens on student visas when she was born in the US. Anchor babies (Harris & Rubio) are not eligible.

Unfortunately there is no mechanism to glean out the ineligibles (like: Vivek Ramaswammy, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Hailey, Ted Cruz). WoeBamaz father was Frank Marshal Davis so he was eligible, but his paperwork was a lie, like the rest of his history/life.

I recognize that your strength is in validating potential voter responses in future elections, but thought this info might help you and others learn more about our Constitution and its frailties (as in non-existent process to keep ineligibles from running for the highest office in the land....).

Thanks for the comment… but my analysis here speaks for itself regardless of nominee choices. Vance appears to be inevitable at this point with no serious challenger.

Jay McIntyre's avatar

It's a moot point, as Rubio has already said he will back Vance.

Jim James's avatar

That's what you and Mario Apuzzo think. I wonder how many of the early presidents were eligible under your preferred definition, given that any of them born before July 4, 1776 were born to parents who were not American citizens.
