Eight days ago, Donald Trump floated the idea that Ted Cruz might cause Republicans some legal headaches if he won the GOP presidential nomination because he was born in Canada -- albeit to a mother who was and is a U.S. citizen.
Today, Cruz's citizenship -- and the questions surrounding it -- is the single most dominant issue in the Republican race and has, without question, slowed Cruz's momentum in Iowa and nationally.
It's a perfect case study in both how Trump attacks and how he's able to so effectively sidetrack his opponents.

Not on this issue....not now.
Cruz better start reciprocating or he will lose. I want him to fight. Not post pictures of Fonzie.
Or someone left open on their own....
It was settled before he started.
Correct.
Everyone knows the President must be “natural born”...
and while there is disagreement of what exactly that means, most people question whether he is or not.
And of course it means “a native American”, so he is whether anyone likes it or not, not eligible.
And now the unreported loan...how does that happen in a campaign?
all cruz has to do is to say “Well If Trump wishes to keep bringing up something he knows isn’t true the whole campaign, that’s his prerogative- As for me, I’m more interested in actual issues and facts, and the problems facing this great nation of ours than I am about trying In vain to make an issue out of nothing”
[[And of course it means “a native Americanâ€, so he is whether anyone likes it or not, not eligible.]]
I must have missed when the courts settled that issue- do you have a link?
If only memes were needed to get elected, between this, the Ted Twister board and Obiwoncruzobi Star Wars one, he’d be golden.
I’m not a sports watcher so your post means little....I do know it matters WHEN you make your plays...why would Cruz make more of this while he’s in the lead in Iowa....Trump already said he’s a citizen so it’s obvious this is simply rumps mouth rolling again because he’s not in front.
Anyone who’s watching this knows Trumps doing what Trump does...talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Yeah, that’ll work...
If I am is paris with the wife and she has our kid, how does that preclude them in any way from being American?
France may not convey citizenship but Canada does.
But that is another kettle of fish, Cruz is 1000% legal ready to go and was raise here as a Texan
What do you say, eh?
Don’t underestimate the Fonzi video.......the history behind that take was exactly why Cruz selected it.....that was a blow to Trump .....he got it. So take a good look at the fonzi character as it was written....fits Trump like a glove.
I must have missed when Canada was not part of the Americas, but that would be an insane path to follow. LOL
At this rate he’ll be keeping his powder dry till 2020.
That woman that ran McCain’’s campaign?
Let’s elect Geronimo
I think he was native born and tried to kill McKinley and Garfield
