Ted Cruz 3 minutes ago
My response to @realDonaldTrump calling into question my natural-born citizenship?

He should ask Trump to unveil what Trump found on Obama in 2010, not bring up his own natural born citizen issue.
Was he born in Scotland?
Trump is a fool.
LOL Ted Cruz is awesome.
Its on, I guess.
Ted?

I knew Trump would pull this eventually. I’m just surprised it happened this early. He must be getting nervous about Iowa.
Well, I’m pretty sure that it’s safe to say Ted’s status is going to be called into question.
I would be shocked if it wasn’t.
That being said, Ted is an NBC, I have no doubt or question of that.
I looked at Trump’s tweets and so no mention whatever of Trump’s natural born status being challenged, nor any threads from the usual suspects freaking out about it.
Where did Trump say this?
Jumped the shark?
Hardly.
A tad bit of hyperbole on Ted’s part.
He is just as much a NBC as 0bama
This is going to damage Trump so I hope he keeps at it.
I don’t think this will work against Cruz. I think the problem for Trump is there are not many conservative friendly reasons to criticize Ted Cruz.
The Clinton donor is certainly no Conservative.
Another kind of stupid response. No answer except that Fonzi won when he jumped the shark.
“Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: ‘Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?’ That’d be a big problem,” Trump said when asked about the topic. “It’d be a very precarious one for Republicans because heâd be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You donât want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head.”
Trump added: “I’d hate to see something like that get in his way. But a lot of people are talking about it and I know that even some states are looking at it very strongly, the fact that he was born in Canada and he has had a double passport.”
All this seems perfectly valid! Democrats have already threatened to challenge Cruz’s bonafides, and, despite what people like Levin says (his usual defenders), natural born citizen has not been clearly defined.
I haven’t seen anything either.
