Actual Title shortened to fit: If Trump is Mentioning Cruz's Canadian Birth Again Then He Must Know He's Going to Lose Big in Iowa
I am amused that Donald Trump is once again reminding voters that Ted Cruz was born in Canada.
Before speaking at a rally on Monday night in Lowell, Massachusetts, Trump stated, "Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: 'Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?' That'd be a big problem."
Yet it was only four months ago just as the two were to appear together at a rally on Capitol Hill opposing the Iran nuclear deal when Trump told reporters, "I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape."
There are two ways to explain his statement. First, Trump didn't mean a word of it, but wasn't willing to insult Cruz to his face before the rally. Second, it must be remembered that at the time Trump was leading Cruz in Iowa by a 3-1 margin. Last September, Cruz was polling at 9% in Iowa.
Needless to say things have changed. It's been awhile since a poll has come out of Iowa, but I'm Trump's people are doing their own internal polling and he's probably doing very badly. Trump is afraid of being embarrassed by Cruz in Iowa. Why else would he suddenly now give a damn about Cruz being born in Canada when he wasn't 4 months ago?

I suppose Trump is supposed to help Cruz, lmao....... isn’t letting him ride the Trump coattails enough?
Falling behind in Iowa prompted him to launch his birther campaign. Imagine what he will do if he loses Iowa.
I'm looking forward to a meltdown.
The Birther charges against Cruz have no merit IMHO.
This will not prevent Liberal judges from entertaining them to gum up his transition if he wins.
You have no idea what I would do with regard to some hypothetical situation. C’mon Man. I don’t scream either and certainly not ‘murder’. I leave that to the Trump worshipers.
Trump is losing his magic with me because of the attacks on Cruz.
“What happens if Cruz loses Iowa after putting all his marbles in one state?”
We’ll see more polka dots than a fire sale at a discount fabric shop.
we’ll see Iowa’s choice rejected by the rest of the country
for the third straight cycle.
*****************
Well maybe it takes a little longer for the corn shuckers
to catch up with the rest. It will be interesting to see
if Trump has gotten his supporters enthused enough to go out
and caucus. Maybe he can tell them he’ll fly over a lot of the
Iowa territory in his jet and to let them know he with them as
they do their caucusing.
You’ll find that attacking the messenger is standard operating procedure for folks who cannot refute the message.
So much for this ‘theory’.....
Cruz and Trump tied in Iowa...

Not IF he loses Iowa. WHEN he loses Iowa.
Haven't you been telling us that Cruz is going to win big in Iowa?
President Huckabee and President Santorum approve this message.
And how'd the first two work out for ya, GOP?
Aaron Goldstein began his political life as a socialist.
Fellow traveler?
LOL!
Goldstein knows chowder.
Pelosi and every democrat hack, and GOP frauds like McCain have come out against Cruz and questioned his eligibility.
Every Freeper here likely knows what I think. But what I think is based on a ***detailed*** knowledge of US history. Ted Cruz is eligible. But the average voter doesn’t possess the details or have the time to acquire them.
So Trump is right. It will not be a cakewalk for Ted given the awful tactics of the democrats and the venom of his GOP enemies.
Donald Trump:
Republican (2012–present)
Independent (2011–12)
Republican (2009–11)
Democratic (2001–09)
Reform (1999–2001)
Republican (1987–99)
Democratic (Before–1987)
Those are in fact the talking points
I never even read the article, am sure you are correct about the author, however Trump also used to be for abortion and homosexual fag marriage, not sure were he stands on fag marriage today.
Trump is trashing Cruz and its starting to affect how I feel about Donald
