Talking Points ^

Now that he has raised questions about Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) Canadian birth and American citizenship, Donald Trump has started playing Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" before campaign rallies, according to reports in The Weekly Standard and the Texas Tribune.
The introduction of the song may be an attempt by the real estate mogul to troll Cruz as many openly wonder whether he is eligible to run for president.
Cruz was born in Canada, but his mother was an American citizen, earning Cruz citizenship in the United States at birth. The Texas senator has repeatedly said that he is eligible to run for president.

R’s ought to choose Charlie Daniels or Ted Nugent music. Forget Springsteen much less Neil Young. Ugh.

To: Politicalkiddo

Interesting. It still came out before my birth. ;) It’s also still an anti-American song.

Off by a decade, aren’t you?

The introduction of the song may be an attempt by the real estate mogul to troll Cruz "May".
So Trump never said anything, it's just media assuming; and this B.S. will draw outraged Cruzbot replies.
To: TigerClaws
Springsteen is a New Jersey Liberal. Cruz should use Lee Greenwood’s song, “Proud to be an American.” perfect for Cruz.
To: MeshugeMikey
Just looked it up. It came out in 1984. So saith Wikipedia, at least. I’m too lazy to check if that’s correct.

Yes, Reagan did play it. Apparently without ever listening to the hilariously downbeat lyrics!

Like a younger brother.
A younger, obama love'n liberal brother.
To: TigerClaws
Donald, really wish you would stop this. Win on your own merits, not bashing Cruz who is a citizen. Also, wrong song choice. Lastly, if you wish to be like Reagan, follow his eleventh commandment. Get real Mr. Trump.
