Donald Trump, the mercurial businessman who is running for president, has been given to saying alarming, crazy things. He has gone birther on President Barack Obama, suggesting that he was really born in Kenya. He has claimed that one of his chief political rivals, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas is ineligible to be president for having been born in Canada, albeit by an American mother. He has accused former President George W. Bush, brother of Jeb Bush, of lying about WMDs in Iraq and of knowing about the 9/11 attacks in advance. Trump is now turning his full, crazed birther attack on Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, according to the Huffington Post.

Wash, rinse, repeat as necessary. Trump is the master of the media sound byte (tweet).

No he isn’t. He’s barely mentioned it. However, there are also questions about Rubio’s birth situation. It’s conceivable he’s not qualified to run for Prez either. Another case that still needs to be adjudicated one day through the Supreme Court.

Good, now he will be savaged by Trump, be fun watching.

Neither of his parents were citizens at the time he was born. They had bounced back and forth from Cuba since 1957. He was born in 1971, they finally became citizens in 1975.

I think he’s going to attach the label “anchor baby” to Rubio. Since it is a true fact, he won’t be able to shake it. It will stick even more to his baby face.

He’ll probably just keep asking the question.

Voters inclined to support Turnip are not exactly the brightest and deepest of thinkers. It’s the same class of suckers he’s defrauded by selling his junk bonds to before declaring bankruptcy.

They like loud bright and shiny things.

Born to koobahn nationals in America makes him an anchor baby, doesn’t it ?

“Born to koobahn nationals in America makes him an anchor baby, doesn’t it ?”

Yup.

[Undecided 2012]

I agree

[Just mythoughts]

This writer is one unhappy camper. Who would have ever imagined, that private citizen trump, would be the one, giving a Constitutional tutorial, about the ‘original intent’ requirement to hold the office of president... Mighty conservative of him.

Entertaining, but yet very sobering to out the faux conservatives.

Well, bless your heart.

If you are a principled, Scalia Constitutionalist, you ought to have a problem with Obozo, Cruz, and Rubio with regard to their Article II eligibility. If you are a Constitutional revisionist, it does not matter, the Constitution is malleable clay.

Desperation in action on the eve of another Teump victory at the polls.

[catfish1957]

Well, if he is taking this approach then his daughter Ivanka will not be eligible either. Not that she will be interested.

[Fai Mao]

Actually Trumps support come from all educational levels. You need to check your stats

[TerrisFriend]

Donald Trump criticized Antonin Scalia in December and, like Senator Rubio, did not bother to attend his funeral. He knows next to nothing about Constitutional original intent.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Rubio is not even a citizen. Even Levin understands this one.

“Well, if he is taking this approach then his daughter Ivanka will not be eligible either. Not that she will be interested.”

Well, duh. Ivanka is about to give birth any minute now. I would think she is otherwise occupied, lol.
