From me it would be the same. I support Trump. McCain is a despicable human being > IMO.

I don’t care if an issue is valid or not, McCain isn’t qualified to be an adviser to the public at large.

He needs to get back to Arizona and hope nobody files treason charges against him.

You currently have an anchor baby running, Marco Rubio is exactly that.

I agree. Republicans/conservatives brought this on themselves when so they questioned Obama’s eligibility. To be logically consistent they have to question Cruz’s also. If they refuse to do that they look like the Obama defenders they criticized. That is the “very precarious” position Trump was talking about.

Check this out, there appears to be a few issues:

To: Behind the Blue Wall

The “original” SR511 definition of NBC ( http://www.leahy.senate.gov/press/the-introduction-of-a-senate-resolution ) signed by Obama, Clinton, Leahy, Coburn, Webb and McCaskill and verified by Chertoff, states very plainly that NBC means born in the USA of two US citizen parents. The SR511 that Congress vetted McCain with ( https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/sres511/text ) is a watered down version but still states TWO US CITIZENS.

There is a reason Leahy has kept the original version on his website all these years.

“Don’t you think it would be better for Cruz to put all the documentation and facts out there”

Don’t hold your breath, looks like Cruz is going the Obama route

“At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies.”

At the tail end of the article 6 paragraphs before the end.

That said I think Trump and Cruz are coordinating - even on this birther thing.

McCain is the worst thing to ever EVER happen to America.

Even over Obama.

Obama is a declared enemy. McCain is a traitor.

Says the man who threw America into the sewer by giving it away to Obama and not even bringing it up in the debates in 2008?

You’re a traitor!

I agree with you, in that this needs to be resolved.

Not yesterday. Not next week. NOW!

That's another reason why the Supreme Court has to straighten out the eligibility rules.

Challenging the person after they are elected is too disruptive. (As we have seen with Obama) -Tom

Yes we do. This should have been handled long ago.

Wow.... McCain is the biggest gutless coward in the history of this nation.

And yet even he had the guts to clear-up his citizenship questions in front of Congress before running for POTUS. What is Cruz hiding?

McCain’s eligibility is shaky. He has some nerve calling the kettle black.

And what did candidate McCain have to say about OBAMAS citizenship back in 2008??????

Especially since the LSM concentrated on McCain's Panama Canal birth without the slightest bit of concern about Obama's actual place of birth, not to mention his declarations about being a foreigner for school aid.

You know, I’m wondering if its possible that Trump is really trying to help Cruz by bringing this up so it can be out of the way in case Cruz wins the nomination which is a good possibility he will.

1) Trump didn’t say “he” doesn’t think Cruz is ineligible. He said he has heard that said by others and it could be a problem for the party. He was responding to a question by a reporter.

2) Trump did not say Cruz was eligible previously. He said various people have said that and be understand is has been checked out and therefore Cruz should be fine.

Both are different than what’s being reported. Imagine that.

Is it tactical of fair game to say “others are mentioning it”? Absolutely. Is it fair game for Cruz to respond to it by saying other candidates are panicking or Trump “jumped the shark”? Absolutely. Does it mean there’s a “rift” between the two? No. They’re both running for President and are 1 or 2 in most polls. They know they would make a good team but they also both want to be top dog. its the nature of the business.
