He knows how to run a real campaign as opposed to a flash-in-the-pan media event.

In Iowa yes, else where not so much. Is Crux on the ballot in Virgina? Trump is.

You came to my city and didn’t let me know :)

He’s not seen as a republican or a conservative by many.

He’s seen as the businessman who can create jobs and wealth.

That brings a whole new crop of voters to him.

He's a true believer in the United States of America.

Cruz is a true believer in Cruz. Has he released his FS-240 yet?

There is a procedure for a child broad to acquire birth citizenship, note I did not say natural born citizenship, just citizenship at birth. This procedure has been in place since 1910. From search.ancestry.com

Contained in this database are birth reports from U.S. Consulates abroad between the years of 1910 and 1949. The report form is called A Consular Report of Birth Abroad and is primary proof of the individual's American citizenship. To qualify, the child must have either two U.S. citizen parents with one of the parents having resided in the U.S. prior to the child's birth, or one of the child's parents must be a U.S. citizen who has resided in the U.S. for a specified number of years previous to the child's birth.

From the US State Department A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child's parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child's name.

The procedure is as documented for US Armed forces families at military.findlaw.com but this procedure applies to all US citizens living aboard.

From military.findlaw

If the parents are married to each other, the child is a U.S. citizen if

One parent is a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent lived in the U.S. for at least five years prior to the child's birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen.

In Cruzs' case the above is applicable. Then the procedure to acquire "birth citizenship" is:

After the parents have determined that their child is a U.S. citizen, they need to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad at the nearest U.S. consulate. The parents will need to submit an application (PDF), along with documentation proving the parents' citizenship and the record of the child's birth from the resident country. The Consular Report of Birth Abroad can be used later as proof of the child's U.S. citizenship, and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport for the child.

LOL...yes, sorry about that :)

Lots of respect for Trump, in that city, overall.

What does that have to do with what Trump said? "I like people that weren't captured," he boasts. This guy had five deferments from the Viet Nam War. His attitude is "I would have been too smart to get captured."

You sure you want that?

The fact that he was captured and survived does not make him a hero worthy of a Silver Star, it makes him a vet that survived. He is political hero and you know it.

Who is a political hero? McCain? What is a political hero -- and to whom?

If you mean Trump ... what is his track record? Have you looked?

I have.

Back to the point at hand, flipping the subject back to its origin. Trump instead of challenging McCain's crappy politics, "defends" himself by basically saying that POWs aren't war heroes because they got caught, and "I like people who weren't captured."

That impresses you? Who gives a crap whether McCain has or deserves a Silver Star? Get over it. It's about Trump and how he "defended" himself when "attacked."

Like a cad.

You seem a little dense today finny. A political hero is a hero only because it benefits him politically. John Kerry served in Vietnam.

Cruz would make a fine VP.

After Trump repeatedly calls him a liar—and a bad one at that? 'Course, people have short memories. ;)
