Good for Trump

Better Cruz settle this issue definitively NOW than get the nomination and then have the democrats and the media start on him

Cruz lost 6 other previous debates to debates according to the polls. What are you talking about?

Though his fans love it this is the kind of flippant crap that has Trump's negative rating at 70% nationally.

Why can't he at least seem like he's taking this thing seriously?

Someone tell Trump you don’t need a judge to grant you your God-given constitutional rights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause

The use of the phrase “natural born” was not without precedent. Statutes in England prior to American independence used the phrase “natural born subject”. For example, the British Foreign Protestants Naturalization Act 1708:[10][11]

The children of all natural born subjects born out of the ligeance [i.e. out of England] of Her Majesty Her Heirs and Successors shall be deemed and adjudged to be natural born subjects of this Kingdom to all intents, constructions, and purposes whatsoever.

Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase “natural-born subject” in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s, the clause’s apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 (expressly defining the term “natural born citizen” to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase “natural born Citizen” would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth”.[68]

Trump may be the right man for the job, or he might not be, but one thing’s for certain: he’s a first-rate jackass.

I don’t know how Cruz can resolve this, especially considering that even the department of justice less than 30 years ago was publishing that if you wanted to be president, “you must be born in the United States.”

Yet McCain, who ran 8 years ago, was considered by one and all eligible to run.

Trump knows full well that there is no mechanism for Cruz to obtain a ruling from a Federal Judge that he is eligible to run. Federal judges rule on "cases or controversies"--that is, actual (not contemplated) disputes--and no such case or controversy exists here.

This is an obvious dodge by Trump.

Really? So, does that mean Trump will not debate Cruz in the debate next week? Is Trump going to go silent?

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall reading or hearing some legal pundits comment that it may behoove Cruz to “legally” set the matter straight. I think it’s great that the issue now, because if Cruz wins the nomination, he’s going to be hit even harder by the Dems and the media.
