No candidate running can show a greater love of the bedrock principles of our nation than Ted Cruz. The entire point of the citizenship requirement is that any candidate should be demonstrably loyal to this nation for his lifetime. Ironic, isn't it, that we have a President who openly hates the US, whose parentage was similar? Cruz clearly possesses this love, and Obama does not, and we attack Cruz publicly for it and we (outside of the hardcore conservative webpages) gave Obama a pass. Black is white, and up is down.

And sadly, the opportunists in the Trump camp are going after this as their desperate attempt to stop Cruz from gaining on him. I guess ideas and ideals don't mean as much to Mr Trump as most here seem to pretend.

Baloney. A reporter asked Trump about Cruz’s NBC issue. Trump had to respond as he did because he went after Obama on his NBC issue.

If he has said any different they would have been screaming that he was giving Cruz a pass.

And sadly, the opportunists in the Trump camp ... reflect Trump's values, taking an "ends justify the means" approach. If they win and we end up with an ill-mannered deceitful angry big-government functional leftist Republican in the White House, why, that's what it took to "win."

Kind of like "winning" a really ugly lemon of a car.

Opportunists who defy ethics and honor in order to take advantage of an opportunity to "win," are losers. They are losers even when they win.

Trump is a symptom of a very sick and addled populace of "conservatives."
