After canceling a Friday rally in Chicago due to potential violence, Donald Trump lost out on two major primary contests on Saturday, giving a much-needed boost to his competitors Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
On Saturday, Rubio - who is currently in third place in the GOP race - was declared the winner of the Washington D.C. caucus, nabbing the district's 10 delegates all for himself. Meanwhile, Cruz won nine on Wyoming's 11 delegates, with Trump and Rubio each earning one delegate each. The state's 14 other delegates will be elected at the April 16 state convention.
While Trump is still clearly the frontrunner with 460 delegates, Cruz is quickly catching up with a total of 369 delegates. Rubio, meanwhile, follows with 163 while John Kasich has nabbed 63. The Republican candidates need 1,237 total delegates to win the nomination....

I guess you did.
ROFL...using a chart, now that is a new one, ROFL. Yep, you take that into a court of law & see how far you get, ROFL!!!
So engaging in such clumsy propaganda is something you're used to, I guess?
Well, that explains things, because the article you posted is the most pathetic and transparent spin I've seen all week.
Is one of the Presidential campaigns you've worked on the Cruz campaign? Because it looks like Ted might need your help...
So maybe you could point me to where you expressed your opinion on that, or even, dare I say, express it again?
I was just curious, since Ted Cruz, overnight, lost 300,000 (three hundred thousand, or about 25%) of his friends on Facebook, as well as many, many of his own supporters on this forum and a plethora of others.
Some who had already voted for Ted Cruz even expressed their wish that they could take their votes back.
But nevermind all that circumstantial information: I'm anxiously awaiting Tuesday night so that I can breathlessly see Cruz's "surge" in support for myself...
Well its obvious Donald now has no path to victory. LOL!
Isn't that the one seen on checkout stands and hair salons? Next to national Enquirer?
Where I go for political insight, fo' sho', right after I check out who is divorcing who and how much weight they lost, etc.
It’s from the US Citizens and Immigration government website. I think it would hold up well in court. Ted Cruz was a US citizen at birth. Go study up https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-parents
I think you better go study what “positive” law is and why it is critical to determining ones citizen at birth. Ted Cruz possessed the possibility of being a US citizen at birth, however, without his mother acting upon the naturalization laws of the US, his US citizenship would have remained dormant until he acted upon it himself at the age of 18. A pamphlet pdf chart is but evidence that there are laws one must obey before citizenship is granted/perfected. AND FYI, natural born citizen do not need the government to confer anything upon them, therefore, the only way for a natural born to loose their citizenship is by expatriation. However, one who was a citizen of another nation, the government CAN take away their citizenship...THIS IS TED CRUZ, a natural born Canadian citizen at birth.

Except that Trump beat cruz in DC.
LOL.
I assume you are talking about a CRBA. It doesn’t matter if his mother got on or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he was a citizen at birth. Ted was 4 yrs old when he returned to the US. A passport wasn’t needed at that time for a US citizen to enter or leave Canada. Your citizenship doesn’t lay dormant. You acquire it at birth. Cruz didn’t have to be naturalized or declared a US citizen at any time because he fulfilled all requirements to be a citizen at birth.
...and he statute that governs 1401 US citizenship defines a “CRBA” as a ‘naturalization” certificate.
A passport wasn’t needed at that time for a US citizen to enter or leave Canada
...a visa is not a passport ...a visa is a document specifically used by immigrants entering the country
Do you really want to continue displaying your ignorance of the Constitution and the statutes that enforce it?
Your eminence, I have searched the code and in my ignorance I have failed to find any reference to that definition of a CRBA.
You need a visa to enter a foreign country. You don’t need a visa to enter into your own country.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE.
THE SILENT MAJORITY IS SILENT NO MORE.
WE ARE MAD AS H*LL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.
DONALD IS OUR VOICE.
DON'T LET HIM DOWN!
The 2 major citizenship statutes that governed when Cruz was born in Canada are the 1952 & the 1965 Immigration & Naturalization Acts of Congress.
1) Public Law 414. CHAPTER 477. AN ACT. June 27, 1952. To revise the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality;. [H.R. 5678] and for other purposes... https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-66/pdf/STATUTE-66-Pg163.pdf
2) PUBLIC LAW 89-236-OCT. 3, 1965. 911. Public Law 89-236. AN ACT. October 3, 1965. To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, and for other purposes... http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-79/pdf/STATUTE-79-Pg911.pdf
Cruz was born a citizen.
Ted Cruz was a natural born citizen of Canada at birth. At that time, Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at anytime, birth or naturalization, therefore, yes, Ted Cruz did need a visa to enter the US at the age of 4 because at birth, the US was not the country that governed Cruz's citizenship at birth. And that is why in 2014, Ted had to renounce his Canadian citizenship, so actually, Ted's US citizenship was NOT perfected until 2014.
Look, you are so very smart, so freaking worldly and wise and my ignorance is on full display before you. I just told you that I went all through that and I didn’t see that definition. I’m not going all through it again. Just give me the exact place where it says what you have stated. I don’t see it. Tell me the in which line it’s located.
No he was not. He was born with the ability to possess it per US statute, however, he did not acquire it until his parents moved back to the US.
I gave you the links, I posted the language of the law that I copied and pasted from the pdf, if you can not find it, might I suggest you get better reading glasses?
Ted Cruz was an infant and he was a citizen of the US at birth. It makes no difference that he was granted automatic citizenship in Canada at birth. Canada could not take away his US citizenship. He was a US citizen and did not need a visa to enter his own country.
