I appreciate Trump and would dance to the polls to support him but why do his most avid supporters continue to claim he brought this up ‘to help Ted.’ Puleeze.

The issue remains. The Dems said over a month ago they will file a court suit against him if he gets the nomination. There have been formal challenges to Cruz being on the primary ballot in NH, MD, VT, and FL.

McCain got the Senate to issue a non-binding resolution saying he was a natural born citizen and eligible to run for President.

Laurence Tribe who co-authored the opinion on the eligibility of McCain that formed the basis for the resolution said that it is not settled law. He believes Cruz is eligible, but "The Supreme Court has never addressed the issue one way or the other, as I believe Ted ought to know."

No doubt Trump is planting a seed, but there is a germ of truth in what he says.

I recall that McCain’s eligibility thing a little bit differently.
Seems to me that the Dems were all too ready to help McCain and a lot of it had to do with legitimizing Obama as well.
I think it was more along those lines then legitimizing McCain.
McCain is just an idiot for thinking that he can ever deal with the hard left and not get screwed.
