Trump: I'm not sure Rubio is eligible for presidency
CNN Politics ^ | February 21, 2016 | Eric Bradner

Donald Trump says he's not sure whether Marco Rubio is eligible for the presidency.

And Rubio says it's just the latest in a line of Trump's "outrageous" comments designed to suck up media attention.

Rubio is a U.S. citizen who was born in Miami. He is, in fact, eligible for the presidency -- even though his parents migrated from Cuba.

But Trump stirred controversy on Saturday by retweeting a message suggesting that neither Rubio nor Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother, meet the constitutional requirements for the Oval Office....

Great- talking about it causes an altered bc— but the fact remains ineligible and nothing DONE about it. Obamaumao was not hindered in ANY way. A proven forgery, proven by experts, but it’s too horrible to contemplate so we just go along with the usurpation.

Within our own party it is distraction to divide to use the notion again. If demonstrated so strongly- why wasn’t obamaumao pulled from office? Because of idiot Biden? Yet another example of democrat connivance. What should have happened was the federal marshals coming to remove obamaumao. It should happen now, if skullduggery prevents the indictment of hitlery and her removal from any potential office. The system is corrupt to it’s very core, and they are ALL lining their pockets, with a couple of rare exceptions (Sessions for example).

The interview in 1999 with Larry King, when trump was thinking of contesting Buchanan for the “Reform Party”, he was asked about a VP and he said......”Oprah Winfrey”. Do you trumpeters like those apples? What a nightmare of self-delusion and a bill of goods. Killing conservativism, and our Constitution in one stroke. But...”we will win”. Great, line up for the tammany jobs, and “healthcare for all”. Before the trillion dollar collapse of our economy because of these very contusions.

Remember the times we live in. Zero wasn’t pulled from office because there would have been riots in the streets that would have made Ferguson look like a Sunday School social and black-lives-matter / knock-out-game bullies look like boy scouts. So, we bide our time, wait for the clock to tick down on his presidency, and then we quietly go back after everything he’s done. Then it becomes a matter of the mean old repubs complaining about Zero, but Zero’s safely golfing, so No month-long riots rolling from city to city. Savvy?

gonna be a long hot summer, and obamaumao will get his race riots and further the distraction and fear. This is going to take patriots and conservatives of every color to stop.

I know it was just a pun!!!

He was born in the United States but his parents were not citizens yet.. He is an Anchor baby.. Throw the bum out!!

Okay, I apologize then!

P.S. That "pun" is pretty much what Cruz said in a debate a while back ( about Trump's mother ), is that what you were repeating?

I only ask because several others have insisted Cruz was joking, but I didn't take it that way. He did not sound at all like he was joking. I actually thought he 100% believed what he was saying which looked to me like Trump was so taken aback that he couldn't come up with a good answer. It was that "out there".

So the point I'm making is that are we really sure Cruz does not so misunderstand this issue that he meant what he was saying? Man, it sure looked that way. And for such an allegedly bright Constitutionalist it would be a dealbreaker.

Bingo. Grand slam home run.

And besides the cowardice and political correctness, it has become clear that there was also a contingent of people completely oblivious to the issue that everyone understood for 220 years. Not sure which group was more numerous.

-- even though his parents migrated from Cuba.

Is "migrating" the same as "immigrating"?

Interesting phraseology....

Born here of citizen parents
