Every time I think of trump running for president I have flash backs to the news radio TV show where the owner did it just to meet women.

So what are the actual mechanics of the Natural-Born Citizen requirement for President? If (hypothetically) Cruz wins, does the Supreme Court hear an appeal and throw out his presidency?

Ted Cruz is an American citizen from birth.

The phrase "natural born citizen" has never been defined by the courts, but most scholars will tell you that as long as you were born a citizen then you are a natural born citizen. The idea that you have to be born on US territory to be a natural born citizen is a myth. Cruz would be fine since iirc his mother was American, and that's enough.

I've only seen him in screenshots posted here, and it took a few times before I started to realize that these weren't weird, one-off shots caught right as he was blinking or sneezing or something - he just looks like that. As for Donald, I hope that all the comparatively coherent GOP constituencies stay too split up among the vast field while Donald soaks up a worrying number of abject morons. It'd be enough of a joy just to see the Republican party react to Donald as a front-runner. Let's entertain a fantasy here for a moment and imagine a world where somehow Donald Trump is on his way to the Republican nomination - would the establishment and the office-holding Republicans be able to fall in line? Would Republican congressmen stump for Trump? Would they speak at his coronation, the first RNC held in a deluxe (and going bankrupt) casino? I can only imagine it'd be the death of the Republican party as too many members would be unable to swallow the indignity.

The idea that you have to be born on US territory to be a natural born citizen is a myth. Cruz would be fine since iirc his mother was American, and that's enough. The law's a little more complicated than that (especially since Cruz was born before 1972), but he still qualified from birth, yeah. (Between 1952 and 1972, if you were born to one American citizen, then for you to qualify as a citizen your citizen parent had to have been physically present in the US for a total of 10 years, at least 5 of which were after the age of 14.) Edit: Wait, no, I screwed up on that. That was the law between 1952 and 1986, I mixed it up with retention requirements for the person themselves; between 1952 and 1972 you also had to yourself be physically present in the US for at least 5 years between 14 and 28 to keep your citizenship if you were born to one citizen and one alien.

The gun thing probably helps Bernie in general polling. Attack him for being a self avowed Socialist or something, but don't attack him over guns. How stupid is O'Malley's team?

Among democratic primary voters I don't think there's much overlap between thinking "Hillary isn't liberal enough" and "guns are awesome". It might help Bernie in New Hampshire because they're a bunch of loving crazy people and there's only 65 people in the entire state.

Re: Bernie's uncharacteristic pro-gun stuff -- Vermont has some of the most lax gun laws around. You don't need a license and I believe only convicted felons are barred. So Bernie is probably just representing his constituency.

As a totally unimportant anecdote, apparently my conservative mother saw Rand Paul with a small amount of staff at the airport recently. She went up and shook his hand and told him that if she was legally allowed to vote he'd have her's. According to her he looked really happy which is kinda heartwarming

So Bernie is probably just representing his constituency. Bernie's positions on guns are actually fairly reasonable. He's definitely pro gun control. For some anything short of a complete ban on almost all private gun ownership is insufficient. I happen to be for far more restrictive gun laws than I think Bernie would support, but for me its a less important issue. I've also never been a fan of the "representing his constituency" argument for any politician. Sometimes the constituency is just wrong, and a good representative will act appropriately to educate his constituency why. Vermont's gun laws may work for Vermont, but they sure as hell are too lenient for, e.g., places I grew up. So, much like his hyperfocus on economy to the exclusion of other social factors contributing to racism guns are an area where Bernie needs some improvement overall (just not as much on guns as on economics/social factors of racism).
