Keep speaking, Trump.
If people are squealing, he must be over target. Go Trump!
Donald would be smart to drop this. It isn’t getting him any traction and it’s getting sympathy for Cruz.
Good ole Donald — his claims that he only “hits back” only lasted until he got behind in the polls. Now, he is flailing at Cruz with anything he can, lol.
Check out post 17, Cruz’s citizenship is well laid out.

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.
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
Day 5 and this is still in the news...and he has the crowd into it...game, set, match, Trump.
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.
Cruz has repeatedly said there is no question that he is eligible for the presidency, saying this weekend that "the Constitution and federal law are clear that the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural-born citizen."Well there goes that "Trump/Cruz" ticket some of you idiots were hoping for.
Even if this all ends in Cruz's favor it will never be over. Just like with Obama, there will always be doubt.
Ted Cruz will never be elected President. The Democrats will never be shouted down like Republicans were.
“Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” blared, a new edition to Trump’s playlist.”
I think maybe this “author” better go back to third grade and start learning something called English (if it’s still taught). Sheesh.
Citizen at birth does not necessarily equal natural born citizen. Dual citizen at birth may be mutually exclusive with natural born citizen. Not settled.
Trump is actually doing Cruz a great service. By bring this up now he is getting it over with so if Ted becomes the nominee the Dems won’t be able to use it come October.
My preference would be that Trump would focus on other lines of attack regarding Cruz. It’s not like there aren’t other criticisms that could be made (e.g. wishy washy on immigration, TPP). And yet strategically it might make sense.
Whatever the truth is regarding Cruz’s NBC status, Trump didn’t create these questions, but he is exploiting them. That may seem dastardly to some, but most who feel that way are probably die hard Trump haters would never vote for Trump even if he focused on more direct criticisms of Cruz such as immigration and TPP. So, talking about it does raise doubt in people’s minds, and it is a valid question, even if Trump is raising it for an ulterior motive. And until Cruz garners up the courage to come out swinging against Trump, this is what he’ll get from him - indirect attacks on Cruz that sow the seeds of doubt in people’s minds.
This shows his lack of character and disgusts me. He is deliberately being spreading doubts and dishonesty to his cult like followers. Very upset by this.
Trump is not attacking Cruz.
He is just saying that Cruz’s constitutional eligibility (i.e Cruz’s nbc status) is an ‘uncertainlty’, is something that ‘we just don’t know’. Isn’t it better to clear the uncertainty now than to let it become a huge fight (court battles?) later should Cruz becomes the nominee? (You bet the democRATS will sue Cruz over this!)
Any objective person will agree that, at best, Cruz’s nbc status is not settled.
Any sane person will agree that it is better to settle it now than later when/if Cruz is the nominee.
It is not a matter of taking Cruz’s side or Trump’s side.
The Americans just need to settle the uncertainty!
