Donald wants to win Iowa with no boots on the ground. Cruz on the other hand, has lots of boots on the ground in Iowa and is leading in the polls. Maybe Trump thinks he can bleed some votes on the birther issue, but he’ll lay off after the vote.

Lack of a sense of humor is funny. It’s impossible to deny that people tend to have a fondness for the country they were born in. It’s precisely why there is a “natural born citizen” clause in our Constitution.

Yeah I know. If Reagan thought it was good enough, who am I to argue.
