This is the same kind of smear tactic lying crap that you would expect from Democrats.
What’s truly disappointing is that so called conservatives here on FR and elsewhere not only put up with it, but also defend and promulgate it.
I don’t think this is a smear. This is a serious constitutional question, and now is the time to bring it up. A smear, on the other hand, is a personal attack, particularly something untrue, suggesting that the candidate is a person of low character. Trump is not questioning Cruz’ citizenship — or his character — what Trump is questioning is Cruz’ eligibility for the presidency. If we are to take the constitution at face value, indeed Cruz is not eligible to run for president; he has only one citizen parent and he was born in another country. And you can be sure the democrats are going to make hay with this! And they won’t mind throwing Obama under the bus if need be as Obama is no longer an asset for the democrats.
I’m proud to defend and promulgate. I thought America could have found a better natural born citizen than Obama . . and I think the same of Ted. As a matter of fact, I thought it BEFORE Trump ever FINALLY brought it up himself. And I think any Republican who can’t admit that it is very closely similar to Obama is just fooling him-herself. Lots of hypocrites on this topic . . as I heard multitudes of Freepers despising Obama’s birthright situation.
Do you not expect Democrats to target that or anything else they could?
Is it not true what Trump said, if Cruz became the Republican nominee the Democrats could challenge his eligibility in lawsuits that could drag on for years? I am not a legal scholar but this seems possible from what I understand. If true I would think the possibility of it causing chaos is real.
