It’s rarely about the supporters. It’s the indifferent and undecided politicians fight over.

The damage is done, Trump doesn’t have to say another word about it. He’s nicked Cruz, drew some blood and enabled some of the Cruz haters in the Senate and GOPe.

In addition, if Cruz continues to defend, he’ll be battling Trump with the sun in his eyes.

Every photo I see of Cruz at a rally, it looks like he is raiding nursing homes.
I know that is not the case, but it would be nice to see Cruz surrounded
by younger supporters.

It looks like Cruz certainly has good support among people aged 55 and older.

That's because they're old enough to recognize a Reaganite when they see one.

Hello. They are digging into his American mother’s background to see if she became a Canadian. She never lived there long enough nor did she ever attempt to become a Canadian. If she were a Canadian, it would most likely disqualify Ted Cruz as not a natural born citizen.

I don’t think he has damaged Cruz at all. If anything it makes Cruz supporters dislike Trump and undecideds don’t like baseless attacks either.

Cruz noted that most of the voters he encounters don't seem particularly interested in this
issue." "As we travel the state of Iowa, none of these silly attacks that other candidates are
pushing are being raised by real live voters," Cruz said.

***************

Well I expect most of the "real live voters" that he encounters are Cruz supporters
and thus they would not be raising the issue with him. Sheesh.

Yikes!

Dont know how that happened but BF is a huge SJW outfit.

It’s like HuffPo, just with more click-bait.

Trump and Cruz just nixed Hillary’s October surprise.

If you haven’t noticed, Trump has been focusing on Hillary and Dems....and Ted...and Jeb, and Bernie...and O’Malley (blasted him last night in VT)...he doesn’t miss a beat.

However, this is day 3 of the topic in the national news. Not a deal breaker, but once again, sucks the oxygen out of the room for the other candidates and keeps Trump and Cruz in the forefront. Brilliant strategy.

Wouldn’t that be rich!? I don’t know if this is what Trump intended, but he did Cruz a huge favor by making this an issue now.

Yeah, you guys are way too smart for that. Just huddle up in your safe space and ignore the microaggressions.

Yes, it’s quite clear. The Naturalization Act of 1795 expunged the murkiness of 1790 and said children born to citizens overseas were “citizens at birth”. They could have written “natural born” but didn’t.

“Natural born” is meaningless if it can be applied equally to two countries at once.

The fact that the Media IGNORED and PROTECTED OBAMA’S place of Birth should clue you in why you should not let the Media lead you around by your nose....

You are a FOOL for letting LEFTIST DICTATE WHO you should vote for.

You are being USED like a STOOGE.... or a Useful idiot by the Establishment Media.

The Establishment is desperate to divide and conquer conservative votes between Trump and Cruz.

Let me put it to you this way. This issue is not even remotely on my top 1 million issues okay?

You are not going to convince or successfully divide and conquer conservatives.

Sorry... it’s not going to happen.

Trump just said it’s an issue that needs to be resolved. That rat in Florida will apparently see that this is done whether anyone likes it or not.

The media has been whipping up storms this whole election season. Sheesh.

That's what I've been saying, but no one was listening.

Well, I am a Cruz supporter and I am not fooled into thinking that Trump’s answer of Joe Scarborough’s question constitutes an “attack.”

The brouhaha does show that the left seeks to divide the voters who seek to secure our borders and that a lot more Cruz supporters than I thought are both extremely gullible and egotistical to the point that they can not admit they were mislead even when shown the video of the interview.

As long as they vote for Cruz in the primary I will only occasionally make fun of their gullibility.

You are not going to convince or successfully divide and conquer conservatives.

And yet you make multiple and deliberate personal attacks on other Freepers, thus DIVIDING the conservatives on this forum, instead of debating the actual issue.

If I were an outsider, and I read the comments of both Trump supporters and Cruz supporters on this forum, I would not want to be in the company of most of those who are supporting Cruz, even If I thought Cruz was the best candidate.

Your comments are the perfect example. Why can't you discuss or debate anything with being so hateful ?
