Donald Trump Calls Ted Cruz an ‘Anchor Baby’
ABC ^

Posted on 01/29/2016 11:35:04 AM PST by TigerClaws

Three days ahead of the Iowa caucuses,Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, today attacked Sen. Ted Cruz again for being born in Canada.

"Now, Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen. Right? But he's an anchor baby in Canada. No, he's an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada," Trump said today at his event in Nashua, New Hampshire.

He also said the Texas senator got “pummeled last night" at the GOP presidential debate.

“They didn’t even mention he was born in Canada,” Trump lamented.

Trump is like a voracious Langolier, eating from the feet up. You’ve got to let the big dog eat.

The Langolier’s didn’t discriminate between liberal or conservative either. They’d eat anything that got in their way, including those that supported them.

He speaks in childish slogans.

He also repeats himself three sometimes four time in the same sentence. A sign of Alzheimer's....

I am happy with my accomplishments in my life. I have never resorted to the ends justify the means or win at any cost. I don’t sacrifice my core values just to be on the winning team.

If he stopped acting like a buffoon, I would not call him one.

Apparently Trump doesn't realize that he's making the case for anchor babies when he calls Cruz an Canadian citizen.

Or maybe he does know what he's doing.

Fair points all and I’m completely with you on this one: “...Trump is not as much of a Democrat as some people think. And if he takes the nomination, I pray for that possibility, because I rightly don’t know how pliable his convictions are.”

Under the laws in effect when Cruz was born he's a natural-born citizen. He's over 35. He's lived here the past 14 years. He's eligible.

Do we throw out rule of law just because democrats do?

Good question. If the law says Cruz is a natural-born citizen they why do people want to ignore it?

Birthright citizenship is conferred by virtually every country in the Americas so the definition logically applies to Cruz vis a vis Canada.

The term "anchor baby" does not apply to "every country in the Americas." It is an American term.

As to the legitimacy of birthright citizenship, consider this. Unless you are a fan of bonded indenture, I'd suggest the term and policy should concern you.

> “He will no longer be able to do that once he’s the only target.”

He will always have a target to deflect to. After he wins the nomination, it will be Clinton.

After he’s in the oval office, he will have a grab bag of targets, Mexico, China, ISIS, Iran as well as domestically in Congress and in federal agencies and NGOs.

We need a leader and Donald is a leader and a builder.

He’s a salesman and a damned good one. No business deal or transaction ever occurs unless there is a sales person involved.

All true.

But I am wary of just what he is selling and to whom. That is not an attack, but it is a grave concern of mine.

Why can’t there be anchor babies in other countries? Ted was born in Canada and automatically was a Canadian citizen the exact same way a baby born in the US becomes a citizen. Ted was a Canadian citizen until he renounce it 15 months ago.

You don’t have to run for President to be a hypocrite. You just have to condemn in others what you yourself do. You did.

When Donald puts it in writing, or when he says it from his heart to America’s vets, it is a done deal The only time he reverses on his signature is when there is a breach by the other side.

You are not the only one with grave concerns. So so many people have approached Donald Trump with deep skepticism, only to find when digging about his true nature that he is extraordinary and honest when it comes to work and keeping his promises.

Here’s proof that he is a patriot of the highest order:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3330070/posts?page=86#79

He WILL build the wall; he put it in writing.

He WILL create jobs and put Americans first; he put it in writing.

He WILL lower taxes on the middle class and work to restore it; he put it in writing.

And so on.
