10. I'd love to see Cruz (R-Canada) win the nomination.

Can't wait to hear how much coverage Cruz birtherism gets, given that, you know, he actually wasn't born in the United States, and some definitions of "natural born citizen" require a birth on American soil. Furthermore, he's held dual citizenship for 43 years, even if he actually does renounce it at some point (he hasn't yet). That would seem to be as close to having divided allegiances as it gets. He didn't even bother to renounce it when it was first a news story, so apparently he at least doesn't mind being a dual citizen, if as his representative said, he "didn't know" he was a Canadian citizen.

Of course, IOKIYAR. Cruz is a Republican, so he's a good 'Murican. No problems here.
