Donald Trump, the mercurial businessman who is running for president, has been given to saying alarming, crazy things. He has gone birther on President Barack Obama, suggesting that he was really born in Kenya. He has claimed that one of his chief political rivals, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas is ineligible to be president for having been born in Canada, albeit by an American mother. He has accused former President George W. Bush, brother of Jeb Bush, of lying about WMDs in Iraq and of knowing about the 9/11 attacks in advance. Trump is now turning his full, crazed birther attack on Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, according to the Huffington Post.

That is excellent information, PJT.
This needs to be investigated, doesn’t it?
Were Rubio’s parents here illegally making him an anchor baby?
Your anchor baby comment makes it clear you don’t know what you’re talking about.
“Not deep thinkers is a bit of an understatement.”
Yes, but I prefer to be polite.
Turnip’s made a career fleecing suckers. Some bankers out for a quick buck. Lots of people who are bad at math who go to his casinos.
And now voters.
I’d love to see what the statistical correlation is.
“Or the same sort of “suckers†who were defrauded by Trump University. Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”
Yep. Giant empty promises, both.
But they’re “huuuuggge.”
Just out of curiosity, what do you call a child born in the Unites States to parents who escaped from another country, admitted refugees , and weren't citizens of the United States at the time of his birth?
You seriously call him, "eligible"?
It doesn't matter. In the court of public opinion, the "anchor baby" charge is fair game to be made by an opposing candidate.
Let the People decide if they want a President born of two citizen parents (Trump), one citizen parent (Cruz), or no citizen parents (Rubio and Jindal).
The people already said No to Jindal.

Cruz has been lying about his true bc the entire time. Trump did not create this problem. I heard Trump say that he can’t consider Cruz for vp because if there is even a 2 percent chance Cruz is ineligible, it’s too much of a risk!
“But, we should remember that Trump loves “the Hispanicsâ€, “the evangelicalsâ€, and, “the blacksâ€. Right.”
He used the same “I love [insert geographic location]. I’ve spent lots of time in [insert geographic location]. Good people! Great country!” line everywhere he’d go on his roadshows selling his junk bonds.
The second time he came to our family office to try to sell, I noticed it and then I compared notes with others to whom he also tried to sell. Same line.
Still uses it in wherever he is pandering for votes.
“You seriously call him, “eligible”?”
I call him whatever Trump says he should be this week.
LOL! I see you've chosen not to apologize for your insulting comments based on your own misunderstanding of what I posted.
Rubio's grandfather was an admitted illegal. Look it up.
“Trump said Cruz was NBC now he says he’s not.”
You must CEASE AND DESIST quoting Turnip’s inconsistent statements! That’s SLANDER!
“Turnip’s made a career fleecing suckers.”
LOL
His supporters are going to have a rough landing when they fall off the Turnip Truck.
You’re delusional. TDS is festering fyi.
Obama's waekness was predicated on his mother not having lived in the US the required number of years before his birth, even though she was technically a US citizen. Furthermore, his adoption by Soetoro made him an Indonesian citizen.
Rubio's problem lies in that neither of his parents were US citizens. The 'Anchor baby' argument applies.
In Cruz' case, though, his mother was a US citizen, and had lived the requisite number of years in the US prior to his birth. That makes him a US citizen.
He had the option to claim Canadian citizenship, but I know of no record of that.
Of the three, imho Cruz has the strongest case for being qualified.
Grandfather?
What about his parents?
“His supporters are going to have a rough landing when they fall off the Turnip Truck.”
Correct. And I’m stealing the line.
I call him whatever Trump says he should be this week.
Nice side-step. Tells me all I need to know....
Cruz has yet to produce a document showing his us birth certificate, why, we’ll, he was born in Canada. Apparently the appropriate forms did not get filled out. Those are the ones he won’t / can’t show that could put this issue to rest, more or less. It doesn’t matter right now since Cruz will be smoked by super Tuesday.
Be my guest, Texans got to stick together.
Just wish I had thought of Turnip first, fits perfect.
