Obviously, everyone of the five folks up on stage for the GOP Presidential Debate is a Natural Born American Citizen. Such is a Constitutional Requirement.

That said, even tho MAGA dominates the GOP, and four of those five are one flavor or another of MAGA, just thirty years ago that lineup would have been horrifying to many of the old GOP base.

Two Italians [Catholics], two South Asians [one a woman] and a big shaved headed Black Senator.

The Palestinians are yesterday's news. Egypt is a US Client State. Jordan is an Israeli satellite, propped up with US funds. Lebanon is a failed state. Syria is a total disaster. And Israel and the Saudis were quietly negotiating a defense and economic agreement [because of Iran being the greater threat] when Hamas launched its attack. It is almost certain that was the main reason for it, along with a desperate attempt to place them back on the political map. That has worked for now, but in six months, it will be once again be forgotten.
