Trump, though Cruz was good, and even Rubio made some good points like on Cruz’ VAT tax.

Biggest losers, Jeb and Krispy. And did you know Kasich’s father was a mailman?

A few comments under the article on the birther issue. Only a few comments. All of those few comments said Cruz is not qualified. No post defended Cruz's contention that he is qualified.

A small window into the world outside FR. You (not you, Helicondelta, I mean anybody who reads this) may want to shoot me because I think Cruz is naturalized, but don't shoot me for reporting my observation relating posts under the WSJ poll/article.

Cruz is just coming across as a nuisance at this point.

Trump is right. He will probably win New York, as well as New Jersey and probably Pennsylvania.

I don’t see Cruz resonating with the general public like Trump will.

And that kind of thing matters when it comes to the final showdown against the witch.

Trump and Cruz. Ryan made an ass out of himself making up those lies.

Yes, I read those. Wondered why that tone at the WSJ. It looked like all those comments were ComDem troll types.

As far as Cruz's citizenship status is concerned, it is unclear. Was Cruz's mother naturalized as a Canadian citizen? If not, it's clear that Cruz is a US citizen. (I like Cruz a great deal) As far as being a "natural born" US citizen, it is far more complicated to resolve that.

I am for Cruz. If not Cruz, then Trump, but I will gladly take either. I don’t want to knock either of the two frankly. I certainly don’t think either of them is a nuisance. That distinction belongs to Rubio, Bush, Carson, Fiorina, Kasich and Christie.

Because he is a lib and those are lib states.... Trump would be Obamas third term. He won’t build a fence or do 9/10ths of what he he bloviaing about.

He probably meant Rubio. Easy mistake to move from Rubio to ‘Ryan.’

I highly doubt it. I believe, just on faith, that there is a CRBA with Cruz's name on it.

They can't control what's posted. They can remove it afterwards. I agree with you, the context and other remarks make them appear to come from ComDem types.

No. Not ever.

If not, it's clear that Cruz is a US citizen.

The only way that would have an effect would be if she became a Canadian citizen before he was born. But, since she never did, he is an American-citizen-at-birth and eligible to serve as President.

It is not the fact’s that are hurting Cruz, it is the concern of what action’s others might take. But it’s OK, I think Cruz would make a much better solicitor general than president.

Trump makes a much better general, directing a bunch of very qualified officers underneath him. And there are a lot of sharp talented people to fill the officer positions.

Trump won and his “New York values” stuff is just dog whistle to the people who are jealous of New York and needed to be reminded of that.

Seriously?

Nobody outside of the NYC metroplex is jealous of NYC and their values....

I’m Speaking as a born New Yorker....

Go to any “ flyover” area and ask them....you would get some pretty strange looks...and probably think you have a mental health issue....

I flat do not get Cruz’z calculated, gratuitous New York negative comments. Good grief, He kissed New York's presidential electoral votes bye bye on that one and Trump may have won New York on his rebuttal. Furthermore, that is where Cruz's wife works.

Since she did not live in Canada for 5 years, she could not even apply for Canadian Citizenship. THAT IS a FACT. One of the only ones on the thread.
