Because she didn’t endorse the Canadian?
Some people are still mad at her for not running for president in 2012.
Actually she talked about Ted Cruz and her support for him as a Senator, she said she hopes he continues as a senator, as he is most effective in that position. They just said that she will be back on the show in a few minutes...
Today is the beginning of the end of Cruz’s campaign. He’ll get crushed by 10 points and the money will flow away from him. The purists and radio talk show elites (Uncle Levin) who are stuck in 1980 will more strident in sloganeering and lecturing about how we are all idiots and how Trump is not Ronald Reagan.
In the very unlikely event that you’re inclined to think beyond a Donald Trump sound bite:
If one were to accept Trump’s originalist view (not that he even knows it’s an originalist view, mind you) on the issue of whether Cruz is a natural born American citizen, an American Indian would/will NEVER be eligible for the office of president. The originalist view holds that the meaning and intent of the term natural born can only be derived from the original text of the constitution (Section 1, Article 2), and NOT by subsequent legislation. The problem is that neither the constitution, nor the Federalist Papers, nor any of the framers’ individual writings identify or even refer to the intended meaning of the term natural born.
Thus, using Trump’s argument, since American Indians were not conferred citizenship until passage of the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924, they are not natural born citizens. Is that Trump’s opinion? Is it yours? Does anyone in their right mind believe that a federal court is going to make a decision that drastic and with such far-reaching implications - all of which go well beyond Ted Cruz?
What continues to bother me and many others about this debate over the meaning of natural born is the fact that Senator Cruz has never denied or attempted to obfuscate the fact that he was born in Canada of an American mother and Cuban father. That is not the case with Obama, wherein virtually everything about his past has been lied about, concealed or purposefully obfuscated, but somehow the meaning of natural born is now an issue to Donald Trump and many of his followers. If Donald Trump were genuinely concerned about the issue, wouldn’t he have filed suit to compel Obama to prove that he is a natural-born citizen?
