Would you support any Republican conservative, or are they all "disqualified from serious consideration" for your vote?

Is that racist? See, If I said the same about Obama, that would be racist.

I know plenty of folks in other states that are Cruz supporters. I understand that you may not like his demeanor and I appreciate your willingness to admit that is where your bias comes from and for your ability to concede that the man has an impressive background as far as his education and career are concerned.

I have friends in the GOP that have said the same thing about his demeanor. That is definitely an issue, just as Romney's "robotic" and "rich man" demeanor was troublesome for him.

Well I have standards. They include:

1. Born in the USA
2. Current or past governor or at least a government executive with a significant budget and personnel oversight
3. Not named Bush
4. College graduate.
5. Not an ordained minister
6. Not a Texan

Who does that leave? I like Christie, but the Republicans are about as likely to nominate him as they are Cruz from the polls I have seen.

He has never released any of his collegiate records....
correct, nor has any other president ( before or during their presidency ) with one exception. george w. bush released one page of his yale transcript in 2004....... the exact same page that had been released by the new yorker 4 years earlier.

... and no one who has tried to access them has been able to.
who exactly has tried?

the only one i know of is orly taitz who attempted to subpoena them from occidental college. orly was sanctioned $4,000.00 because the attempted subpoena was a blatant violation of FERPA laws.

again, back to my original question, do you believe that any of obama's personal records are "sealed"?

Kasich, Palin, and Jindal all meet your arbitrary standards as well.

i've yet to refer to him as anything other then "ted", "ted cruz" or "cruz" so i could only speculate to a "why?".

Yes I believe they are legitimate.

I don't believe they are sealed, I believe they are not eligible to be released for privacy reasons. They are his personal records, so those institutions would require his permission to release anything.

I don't know who tried. I never really cared enough to look into it.

I was not doing it out of some sort of spite vendetta because my favorite candidate was mocked by others. I was mirroring bad behavior back to the poster.

It wasn't nonsense. He directed all eyes on the biggest job killer in the country. That took some moxie.
