Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has reversed his position on Ted Cruzs eligibility to run for president, now saying his Canadian birthplace shouldnt disqualify him. I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape, Trump told ABC News just before speaking at a Capitol Hill rally blasting the Iran nuclear deal. That stands in stark contrast to what Trump said about Cruz in December, when he told ABC News that Cruzs Canadian birth could prevent him from running

The exact quote was: Well hes got, you know, a hurdle that nobody else seems to have at this moment,” Its a hurdle and somebody could certainly look at it very seriously. He was born in Canada if you know and when we all studied our history lessons youre supposed to be born in this country, so I just dont know how the courts would rule on it. But its an additional hurdle that he has that no one else seems to have.”
Today is “not really a story” day. Poor wittle GOPe.
THEN: “so I just dont know how the courts would rule...”
NOW: “I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way”
They are throwing everything against the wall hoping anything will stick.
Better late than never, Trump gets it right.
Make it more simple? How about “jus because”?
Pretty much. This was never much of an issue for Trump to start off with. Top legal scholars from both parties are in agreement here. Ted Cruz IS qualified to run for and hold the office of POTUS.
Remember when you were all over the Trump threads, campaigning against him by pretending he was serious about picking Oprah as a running mate?
This tactic will work out about as well.
After eight years of a Kenyan muslim, communist, terrorist-abetting, druggie, homo prostitute desecrating the White Hut, there is no more room for discussing “eligibility”.
Yawn.
Look, I can see why Trump would gall you. After all the time you’ve spent telling us the GOPe is the answer, not the problem, Trump’s surge can’t help but rub you the wrong way.
If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, he’ll have my vote.
The main thing you lack is credibility. Don’t forget you also claimed to support Palin—while supporting and promoting the very people and institutions she most passionately opposes. Bit of a disconnect there, at best.
In writing there is a saying: show don’t tell. It applies in this case too. Occasionally you *tell* people you’d do something conservative. But you never show it.
How about for once YOU be the one to point out the cheating and voter fraud endemic to both Obama’s elections? Why not for once YOU be the one who notes the lying and corruption of the Permanent Political Class? Why don’t YOU mention the hard leftward drift of the judiciary, and its negative impact not only on conservatism, but on the very essence of impartiality and justice?
I won’t hold my breath.
Ok,
Don’t hold your breath and don’t get discouraged.
Btw, did you happen to see the latest polling re Obama’s birth place? One in five Americans believe he was born outside the US. And the low IQ media is playing this as a win. ONLY one in every five Americans believe Obama is foreign born. Haha.
Of course a larger percentage believe Obama is Muslim. Can’t imagine where they got that idea....
Maybe the same place some learned that Obama was actually born in the third week of July; Obama occasionally slips up and tells the truth.
That polling data will really damage Obama if he tries for a third term.
There was already a poll for an Obama third term. He raked in a whopping 26%. It’s a presage of things to come. History/the future will not be kind to this pathological liar. His arrogance and vindictiveness don’t wear well.
The ultimate irony, though, would be if Obama’s foreigner-style hatred for the US ushered in a victory for super-patriot Trump. O would have to choom overtime, to deal with that bitter pill.
