Cenk Uygur launches Democratic primary campaign.

[Scarlet Rose]

In this past week Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks has declared that he is launching a campaign to challenge Biden's position as the Democratic candidate for next year's presidential race. He has been critical of the Democratic party for decades for being an ineffective and weak party that is incapable of effectively delivering meaningful political programmes for their base and wider US society. In this campaign in particular he has been quite opposed to Biden running as going by the polls Biden's chances against a Trump candidate are a lost cause. Another motivation has been his longstanding commitment to get dark money out of politics.

During it, one of the questions is about his status as a naturalised citizen.

That right there will kill - no pun intended - his 2024 campaign because...

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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. - Art. 1, Sect. 1, Clause 5

He was born in Istanbul, Turkey so that right there disqualifies him from running, no matter what happens.

His case goes to court, Scarlet, and the judge will toss it (his presidential campaign) just on that alone.

I like Cenk, watched their channel off and on for many years, but yeah. This will go nowhere.

You should read the comments on the first video at the top for some hilarity of watching people throwing their money and their vote for a guy who isn't even qualified to be president. lol

At this point, I would just cue the Barnum and Bailey circus music when this guy ever speaks because to pull this sort of stunt, you have to be a clown.
