Not a dimes worth of difference.
The goofy, orange faced billionaire is running with concern now. He feels some heat from Cruz. He will probably get the nomination but he is offensive to many that are much more conservative than he.
So we should ignore Constitution and treat it as a living document because the Left did it? The Founding Fathers specifically did not want a foreigner having influence over the presidency.
Have you been living under a rock? When Democrats are mean they mean it, sir.
A child born to a U.S. citizen mother in 1874 in Oxfordshire, England was not a U.S. citizen.
That child is Winston Churchill. He was posthumously proclaimed Honorary Citizen of the United States April 9, 1963 (Pub.L. 88–6)
I guess that means Churchill was a natural born citizen. /s
C’mon Donald....attack Hillary, attack the Dems, attack Muslims, attack Obama’s eligibility
But leave Ted’s out of it
Pub. L. 88-6
Well said.
It is rather funny and entertaining.

“Wow, I did not know that Cruz was born in Canada, I thought he was from Texas” is the refrain that I am see trending on Twitter.
I agree...it is funny and entertaining. Can’t wait for the Iowa beauty pageant. Trump is definitely not going for Miss Congeniality.
Day 5 and this is still in the news...and he has the crowd into it...game, set, match, Trump.
Here is where Cruz might be in more ideological trouble (and more stuff for Democrats to flout) than some more vanilla flavored GOP candidate. Cruz is the fundamentalist constitution guy.
He’s possibly going to be tied up having to defend the new view of natural born citizen that lets Congress have a say in it via its naturalization requirements. I’ve said there is something to this new view myself. I’d vote in good conscience for Cruz were he the candidate in the main election. But the constitution is an item of hot debate and yes, even the Calvinballers will suddenly pretend to be conventional rule keepers when it is in their interest. And we get nowhere because nobody’s thinking about God which should be the factor that cuts this Gordian knot.
There was a time when I thought I could vote for Trump, but as I read more about him and now the way he is making sure that should he start placing 2nd, his voters would NOT vote for Cruz. I’ve seen this coming on for a couple weeks now and this is going to cause the republicans to lose. It is starting an all out war against different factions within the party...typical of the GOPe, to not support the conservative if they win.
I know I’l probably receive a lot i=of hateful private replies now, but I ask the Trump voters to go back since he announced his entering the race and look at all the things he has said. I ignored them myself for quite some time, saying he was not my first choice, but a strong second. Looking at ALL THE THINGS HE HAS STATED, since entering the race, one should be wondering exactly WHO he is. It is disturbing. First, he steals all Cruz’s stands, then accuses Cruz of stealing them from him. That is not an honest person. Cruz has been more of a gentleman than I’d have had the patience to be. Now, it appears that he is either paying them or encouraging Huckabee, Santorum, Rubio, and others to repeat the outright lies that Rubio brought against Cruz on immigration (and JeffSessions, Mike Lee, and Steven King all denied were true and gave the reason Cruz was baiting the democrats with the things they put in the bill (that had stalled), but they would not vote for it because it would put them on record with a majority of Americans that wanted illegal immigrants to not be granted amnesty.
I realize that nothing Trump does seems to hurt him, but to elect a man because of his bombastic attitude, but who has no moral anchor, no real political policies other than “we’re going to do this, it’s going to be fun...” THIS is the height of insanity. Are the people so angry as to have gone mad? I mean as in insane. This is lunacy. I hope a lot of other people start looking into the things that Trump has said and begin to weigh what he really stands for. Words are just words, until they are acted upon. I’m with Mark Steyn on this matter. Watching Donald Trump is like watching a tennis match, getting whiplash from turing your head so much because he goes back and forth so much. Not just on amnesty, either. It’s time, before the first votes start, to do some real research and look into what they are saying...all of them.
My husband & I have felt that 2016 was America’s year to elect a real godly man, or to fail to do so and to go into serious judgment. We’ve had NUMEROUS warnings, but to no avail. NO one has called us to repentance. Everybody just goes on about their business as if it is normal for a society to be so immoral, to accept evil without any regret. We have a clear candidate who is godly, has kept his word, has fought for the people, has a Christian background, as well as a clear Christian testimony. And yet, it seems we are running after a circus show, instead.
Most voters don’t know anything about this.
I’ve thought about it and ... big deal. Cruz will face it in the general election, if he gets the nomination. Trump is doing him a favor by addressing it now.
No. But Trump might be voted “Most likely to succeed”.
1st rule when presenting...know your audience.
People wanting conservative will vote for a conservative. People that don’t, won’t. You don’t get lobster by ordering ice cream. People find that simple truth upsetting.
Oh well.
