Ted Cruz: "When we do town halls and actual voters would ask questions, nobody would ask about the silly birther attack nobody would ask about Donald Trump. They ask about the real problems facing this country. How do we defeat ISIS? How do we stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons? How do we protect our Second Amendment or religious liberty? How do we get more jobs?"

My problem with Cruz....he doesn't listen to anyone.

It's why he won't get a vp bid from Trump.

If he is calling this a “silly birther” issue, he is delusional. Liberals will clean his clock if he is nominated. Liberals got their Obama they are not going to give cover to Cruz!

I’ll vote for him if he is nominated, but he is no more eligible than Owebowmao.

F-U Ted. For someone who supposedly reveres the Constitution as written, it’s not a good look to go around dismissively insulting those of us who are concerned that it be followed.

If it’s so silly, why did you renounce your Natural Born Canadian Citizenship.

about the silly birther attack nobody would ask about Donald Trump.

****************

Like it or not Cruz has got to wake up the Birth Issue and deal with it. He may ignore it
during the GOP primary season but if he does get the nomination then you can bet the
house that the Democrats will plaster the Canadian Birth issue all over him and the media.

Cruz needs to get into real life about this issue.

This is dumb of Cruz. I believe he is NBC but still, if his opposition raises this and it goes to the courts, it could be a problem. He could have been Trump’s veep but it’s too risky if it were thrown to the courts.

Cruz knows the truth and he is being obtuse: THERE IS NO CLARITY in the Constitution on this issue. He needs / I guess needed, it’s too late now, to get a ruling that he is NBC for the purpose of this election. He didn’t get one.

We need to spend time away from election years and get this amended, get a precise definition into the Constitution, period. All the arguments for various definitions could take weeks.

He’s being an ostrich. But it doesn’t matter: sadly, Trump can’t pick him now, which would have helped Cruz be President one day, and he’s not going to win any primaries. It’s a shame.

“Cruz: No Actual Voters Ask About the Silly Birther Attack”

He sounds like Hillary Clinton here. Just add the cackle.

Ummmm... I do, and I vote

Why does it matter to me? Simple.

If TCruz gets the nomination, then the following week the DNC will file for him to be disqualified. The argument will hit the courts and about a month before the election, the SCOTUS will rule the Canadian/cuban/american guy born in Canada is not a natural born US citizen, in accordance with the Constitution.

This will leave the GOP scrambling fora candidate... which will result in the dems winning ona walk.

Either get it resolved NOW by the SCOTUS or sit down and stfu

That makes no logical sense.

People who come to a candidate's town hall are already leaning towards voting for him anyway and want him to clarify a position.

Cruz has already stated he's eligible, so what would be the point of someone believing he wasn't eligible even bothering to show up?

There has to be a reason why Cruz never actually defends this. Maybe because its obvious on its face.

Naturalized Citizen Law & Legal Definition

A naturalized citizen is a person who was born an alien, but has lawfully become a citizen of the United States under the U.S. Constitution and laws.

Cruz was born an alien but made a citizen through law (Congress).

Ted....I vote, I ask...

And you were my first choice my only choice by a wide margin for the last three years.....

I knew the issue from day one.. I expected YOU to the take the issue of your birth status seriously...I trusted you...i trusted you as being one of with the smartest lawyers in the country that you have this all taken care of... but it seems now that just had your head in the sand in denial that it would be and issue...you cannot possibly believe that you cannot possibly been that naive

Before he got in in 2008....McCain the non lawyer rino did take the issue seriously about his birth in Panama ......and he has two US citizen parents and born on a US military base.. McCain got the issue sign off on before he got in....... and that was before the 8 years of stink about Obama birth status.......

But you didn't...even after all the Obama birth stuff......with the Democrats on the left just salivating for payback..

You didn't address your own issues...so now ..now that the issue has popped up...now that its hurting your ...how do we not see this as nothing but irresponsible on your part...dont blame us....you did this to yourself... you didnt get ahead of this

Looks to me like Ted Cruz is about as much a real constitutionalist as John Roberts.

The funny thing is that half Cruz’s supporters went after Obama being born in Kenya. Which was legit concern, but now they do not care that Cruz was born in Canada and had duel citizenship up til 15 months ago. They defend it by trying to say Cruz’s mom is American. As if Obama’s mom was not even though she was born in Kansas.

There are dozens of examples Limbaugh could have used where Trump demonstrated during this campaign that he does not think or approach problems in conservative terms let alone understand them and is unable to bring them up.. But views challanges in a very personal way that could reveal any inner convictions he could have but clearly does not.

From the campaign begining with the first debate. His legiirimate battles with Fox and Kelly.and her misogyny complaint Trump goes on CNN following the debate to complain about his treatment .Alas where he could have cited how the press abused Palin as well as other conservatives. Instead must personnaly attack Kelly and brings up Kellys body functions thus confirms her assertions . .

Trumps revealing exchange with campaign disrupter and un official spokesman for the Mexican government Jorge Ramos (Univision). who has dual citizenship,.which should have but did not, show any conviction on his pronouuncements about Mexico and its relationship with US.

Here Trump could have demanded to know from him If he believes Mexico has legitimate claim to American states ,as well as bring up Mexican treatment of illegals. Then ask why should the US permit land ownership when legal American retirees cannot own land in their own name or vote there.Then boot his buttocks out of there.

Instead what does he do ? Kisses up to him and lets him go .The way the Mexicans are treating Americans reciprocity should be the issue and would dump the quote hispanic unquote krap

Then there is the issue where some UK politicians along with Islamists wanted to prevent Donald Trump from even visiting Britan . Here he would have been saluted if he did this. Used the Brits expression to those phoneys; To Piss off and WISE UP pointing out the problems they are having rhere and chiding them for refusing to face reality.

Instead what did he do ? Threatens economic retailiation.on a project in Scotland

What really sealed it for me was when Businessman deal maker Trump who also owns Goldman Sachs stock
http://www.freerepublic.com/focua/f-news/3386879/posts
Sided with the GOPES and even advocates expanded mandated Ethanol because he thinks it will help him carry IOWA . Which also begs the question of Just how heavily invested is he in Ethanol ?
