Wow. So impressed with big crowds to see Trump. Virtually identical to the crowds for another celebrity fake conservative, Arnold Schwartzenegger, 12 years ago in California.

[skeeter]

Yup, the crazier they get, the less I pay attention.

On the other hand we're all very interested in your teddie soccer balls for illegals comments.

[JoSixChip]

Cause you aren't going to be happy when Cruz wins the nomination

Like there is even a remote chance of that happening. Cruz is what at 13% nationally?

[Finny]

The fact of the matter is it's either Trump, Cruz or Clinton (as it appears now at least) so we best align against the real enemy Clinton.

Wrong strategy. It is going on defense, with the mission of preventing the opponent from advancing. Defense mentality is a losing one, especially in the primaries.

It's either Trump or Cruz, for those participating in the primaries, right now. We have to choose ONE. Now.

Now is the time to go on offense, to advance conservatism. There is a very clear choice before us -- one will advance conservatism, the other will play ball with the left as always, and it's back to defense, trying to stop them from advancing.

There IS a divide. Wishing there wasn't is only wishing.

I see no issue with his eligibility. I have other issues that caused me to switch to Trump, but there is no point in adding them to this thread.

He’s my second choice. Anyone other than Trump or Cruz and it won’t really matter.

[Wissa]

Wow. So impressed with big crowds to see Trump. Virtually identical to the crowds for another celebrity fake conservative, Arnold Schwartzenegger, 12 years ago in California.

So you're saying the crowd size is an indication that Trump will win in the election, just like Schwartenegger did?

Trump didn’t say Cruz is not eligible. He said it might cause problems for him down the road with GOP.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I’d have to reject Cruz for the same reason I don’t believe 0bama is legitimate

Ted's mother is and was a citizen of the US her whole life. That's all that is required.

[DiogenesLamp]

Apparently Donald Trump has reconsidered his stance that Ted Cruz is eligible to run for president after noticing that he’s kicking his butt in the Iowa polls, which is how the founders intended for us to solve such matters.

Well sure. Why bother with constitutional requirements if we are gonna let the voters decide anyway.

[TornadoAlley3]

I do not believe Trump thinks Ted not qualified, he is saying others will question and perhaps a problem for Cruz with dealing with it.

[Wissa]

Ted's mother is and was a citizen of the US her whole life. That's all that is required.

Too bad you weren't around a few years ago with this simple explanation. It certainly would have avoided the whole issue of Obama's eligibility.

[entropy12]

This is a straw-man article. I just listened to Trump interviewed on CNN, and what Trump said, paraphrasing, is that he does not doubt Cruz’s eligibility, but he is being asked by reporters a lot if Cruz is eligible so obviously the question is out there. Trump added, he certainly hopes Cruz is eligible.

To summarize, I never heard Trump say Cruz is ineligible as NBC to run for president.

[SteveSCH]

Trump and Cruz have been hilarious in their little shadow war of words.

Both men know exactly what their doing, it’s like watching a chess match played by two masters.

Also I believe both men like each other, or at least have a ton of respect for each other. They’re the smartest guys in any room they’re in.

[entropy12]

His mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth, so Cruz was born a US Citizen.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Wrong strategy. It is going on defense,

Re read my post, I am advocating going on the offense instead of bickering amongst our selves.

It's either Trump or Cruz, for those participating in the primaries, right now. We have to choose ONE. Now.

Indeed, that's what I noted.

Now is the time to go on offense, to advance conservatism.

Agree 100000000000%, how ever, we can't change the tide of 100 years of progressivism in one election, there is much to do.

Trump or Cruz will hopefully start us on that path.

[SaveFerris]

It was a tad bit more complicated than that, given the U.S. Title Code back then (during his birth). Regarding his mother, her status, etc.

But all of that has been discussed ad infinitum.

[so_real]

Rep. John Bingham (author of the 14th Amendment) described his understanding of "natural born citizen" in 1866:

... every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen

Born in country of plural parents having pure allegiance ... it's the gold standard ... and it's so simple, it amazes me that people willfully refuse to see it.

So, I agree with everything you said. Neither Obama or Cruz qualify when the language as understood by early America is applied. And had Obama, his minions and all the willful idiot democrats, not urinated on the Constitution to install him as the Pres__ent, I would not vote for Cruz either.

But, Obama was a game changer for me. We are now in our second American revolution. None of the Founding Fathers were natural born citizens, as the nation did not yet exist for them to have soil for pure allegiance at birth applied. But, they were revolutionaries, and birthed such a nation. Cruz is such a revolutionary. And, through him I hope we can rebirth such a nation. So, I'll support him with my vote, regardless. But I can completely understand and respect your hesitation with the same. It is honorable.

[montag813]

Why is it "DOH"? Trump said today it would cause Cruz a problem if he were the nominee.

So what? Many of us having been saying this for a year now. Hillary's Super PAC buddies would use this issue to split the White vote, citing Obama, and it would hurt Cruz badly. And she could claim ignorance of those "horrible Super PACs that I am going to ban if you elect me.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Too bad you weren't around a few years ago with this simple explanation. It certainly would have avoided the whole issue of Obama's eligibility.

It is simple if you have a legitimate BC. Haven't seen obammy's yet.

Thanks for being a voice of reason. I have no trust for the media because this happens over and over. The nice thing about youtube is that you can watch for yourself and decide. The ridiculous thing about youtube is that you are forced to read comments from people who did not watch for themselves yet accept the “spin” because it fits their worldview.
