Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruz's Canadian birthplace was a"very precarious" issue that could make the senator from Texas vulnerable if he became the Republican presidential nominee.

Trump added: "I'd hate to see something like that get in his way. But a lot of people are talking about it and I know that even some states are looking at it very strongly, the fact that he was born in Canada and he has had a double passport."

And there it is- Trump blurting inanities when under pressure. Very weak under pressure.

"I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent.

And then I became a Republican."

Already been addressed. Trump should worry about Trump.

Yep, I figured this will be the main attack from Trumpsters after Cruz DOMINATES Iowa and then wins SC. They’ll spread this birther garbagae because it’s all they have left.

And the fact Trump is launching this garbage is more proof he has no knowledge of the Constitution or fit to be POTUS.

Wow, the war is back on. I thought when Trump saw that Cruz was essentially saying Trump was for amnesty, he would pull out the big guns. I guess he did. And I once thought they would make such a good team. Oh well.

Glad Trump is helping Cruz get this matter settled before the final game is decided.

Experience taught me a few things.
One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.
The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know.
And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

So what if Cruz ends up being a Canadian? That’s still a HUGE improvement over an Indonesian-Kenyan!

Ya, he resorts to telling the truth when under pressure. Imagine that.

Cruz had dual citizenship up until a year ago. The whole of the natural born citizen is that the loyalty to the USA and the USA alone must be total and beyond question.

This is very different from the Obama situation. Of course, I don't agree that Obama should have been able to run since his Muslim father's "religion" overrides his Christian mother.

“Glad Trump is helping Cruz get this matter settled before the final game is decided.”

Good point. If the notion gets trashed as a ‘Trumpism’ then the Democrats can’t use it in the general election!

I put this in “Breaking News”— Evidently,. Santorum saying Cruz is for amnesty is Breaking News, but Trump saying Cruz isn’t eligible for President is not—

Don’t know what’s going on at FR...

Trump also implies Cruz isn’t a Christian.
Then Trump attacks Cruz for not getting along with the gopE.

the Clinton donor attacking from the left. Doubling down on Constitutional ignorance.

I just heard in another thread that Ted was born in Canada. This is a little concerning. Thanks for the latest. Of course I’d rather have him be a Canadian citizen than Syrian.

I don’t know, either. All we can do is try.
