This and "Ol' New York, New York" have probably finished Ted Cruz for this year. I believe firmly were he to get the nomination that this would have trailed him all the way to defeat in November. It's a painful fact for Cruzers I know, but one that should be admitted so we can get on with taking the White House in November. THE COUNTRY IS AT STAKE.

The issue is not the birthplace but the parentage. Republicans need to get educated.

Do tens of millions in CA and other states rate high enough for Mr. Cruz’s “Values”?

Reuters ..?????

Really .. people would believe this trash .. Reuters has not had a good word to say about Cruz since the day he announced.

And .. Reuters has never had a poll showing Cruz in a good position. NEVER ..!!!! Their polls were always showing Jeb and/or Marco ahead of Cruz .. WHEN IT WAS NOT TRUE.

I DON’T TRUST ANYTHING REUTERS SAYS.

25% of GOP think that? Curious how many of the same respondents are “fully committed” to a candidate other than Cruz going into the caucus. I’m guessing approximately 25%.

The only people who profess to believe this BS are the people using it to promote another candidate.

“This and “Ol’ New York, New York” have probably finished Ted Cruz for this year. I believe firmly were he to get the nomination that this would have trailed him all the way to defeat in November. “

I agree 100%. AND I LIKE Cruz (though I like Trump better).

The bad thing about Cruz’s response was the bogus crap he spewed about Trump and his mother, which to me, seriously undermined the credibility of all the other things he said about NBC prior to that.

McCain got a declaratory judgement on the NBC issue and Cruz should too. If Cruz doesn’t, it would be dangerous for Trump to select Cruz as VP.

On the other hand, Cruz attacking New York may be even worse. A President is SUPPOSED to be the head of ALL parts and ALL people in our country. I’s been one of Obama’s great failings that he hasn’t done that. We don’t need a President who starts off by pointlessly and snidely attacking EVERYONE in an entire state indiscriminately. Even Obama was never that outrageous in showing his prejudices like that. We simply do not need a President who insinuates that ALL people in an entire state are somehow bad in some way.

Last night, I predicted the media would pick up on this and accelerate into full howl mode against Cruz about this, and to some degree I agree with them for a change. I really wish Cruz hadn’t done this.

While I don’t think it’s fair that he be excluded and feel that he should be allowed to run, Ted Cruz still has a growing controversy on his hands and needs to get this sorted out in court. There’s no amount of talk that will make this go away. I like Ted Cruz but he needs to sort this out.

This issue could also hurt Trump in the election. Trump is an anchor baby since his mother was a British citizen until 4 years AFTER Trump was born and only his dad was an American, which means that Trump is and has been eligible for dual citizen. He may not have ever claimed British citizenship, but has he ever renounce it? Anchor babies are not governed in the Constitution and are only allowed via a court decision, but that does not mean they are eligible for office under original Constitutional standards..

Most Republicans didn’t know Cruz was foreign born until Trump attacked him. That was a smart move from Trump. It might cost Cruz a few votes.

Yeah the country is at stake...exactly why the long knives are out for Senator Cruz...he is Mr. Constitution a fact that the establishment can't have so they have come up with this bogus birthright wording in our constitution. Ted Cruz's mother was an American Citizen at the time of Ted's birth making him an American Citizen whether or not he was born in Russia or Canada. ....same for Obama whether he was born in Indonesia or Kenya...his mother was an American.

& Cruz!
