This matter needs to go to SCOTUS before it is too late. If Cruz is the nominee, when the democrat nominee sues Cruz, it will be too late to fix it, and will be a major problem in November election.

I support Cruz, let’s do this and get it over with and laid to rest.

[Mariner]

Any state certainly has standing, in fact sole control over who accesses their ballot within certain standards. And how.

Another candidate? Questionable.

[entropy12]

Sooner the better. Cruz can begin the ball rolling by suing Trump first! Because Trump’s mother was not born in America.

[Hostage]

Politico likes nothing better than to foment a Trump vs. Cruz fight, wishing the two would hurt each other as much as Politico hates them both.

Typical New York “values”: Intimidate.

Clean up? Looking in the mirror, DT?

It should have been settled long before this. Cruz would be the first openly foreign born President in American history. As such, you can’t convince me that there isn’t anything to to see here.

Trump’s mother was granted citizenship before his birth. Nice try

The question is, does Trump have a valid point? Often Trump’s so-called childishness, this time about Cruz’s eligibility, may actually have substance and gravitas.

I like Cruz and hope it’s a Trump/Cruz ticket, but what is it about people who whine about Trump’s whining?

The difference is Trump’s bitching and moaning often actually adds up to something, like here. Nobody knows exactly how this Cruz NBC thing will play out. But sooner or later it will almost certainly play out. Maybe this is Trump’s way of forcing the issue I don’t know, but if it turns out to be a problem, it could bite Cruz hard. If Cruz won the nomination, it could screw up the election in favor of the Socialist Democratic Party SOB’s.

Calling Trump a whiner sounds a lot like what the Left does - try to shame the opposition because they have no substantive response when the opposition actually has a substantive issue against them.

IMO, Cruz should get this issue settled in court. It would show good faith and more of an interest in America’s future than Cruz’s own political prospects. Otherwise, if Cruz was the GOP nominee for President and the Court ruled he wasn’t a natural born citizen, the election could be screwed.

Born here of citizen parents.
The parents can be naturalized citizens.
Trump’s mother was when he was born.

[kik5150]

Do it, Trump. No more bluffs. Show us all how brave you are!

Logic and Natural Law

One is NATURALLY a US citizen when one cannot possibly be anything else.

Born here of citizen parents.

Natural born citizen.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree with you 100%.

All these later laws that people reference are immigration laws and do not alter the constitutional requirement for president.

[McGruff]

And Ted’s response: Silence!

[Smokin' Joe]

I support Cruz, let’s do this and get it over with and laid to rest.

Yep! Enough is enough.

[SampleMan]

This constant threatening to sue _____ for _____ may play well in NYC, but it’s wearing thin out in fly over country.

[mlo]

Another candidate is exactly who has standing.

[JJ_Folderol]

Trump should sue, then STFU.

I am not seeing the holy in the Cruz.
