Beat me to it. I’m a Cruz supporter but trump just said cruz has some “baggage” or risk if you will that could end up in court. He didn’t say that much about it really.
My worry/question is about Cruz’s mother.
Did she give up her USA citizenship while she was living in Canada, and become a Canadian citizen for tax reasons? If so, how does that affect Ted’s citizenship?
How did Ted’s parents come back into the USA if she assumed Canadian citizenship (if) - and, how did Ted’s dad get a green card to enter?
I have to assume she didn’t give up her USA citizenship, but I worry.
And they were right.
The mud and the lies never end. No wonder Cruz can’t get 100% support of the Evangelicals. His supporters are driving them away.
Bingo
-— As long as Obozo got away with it, it is all okay. -—
And McCain.
Cruz won’t fold for some baseless lawsuits.
Beck hates Trump, loves Cruz. Obvious source of objectivity.

Might have been a different scenario of if the POTUS came from Harlem, as well as his parents, and even their parents.
Or documented from a family going well back in history being cotton pickers in say Georgia.
I doubt there were any muslim cotten pickers in the 1850’s in America.
What cases decided by SCOTUS do these authorities cite in the their “consensus?”
Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.
It is crystal clear that the Founding Fathers used the Natural Law definition of 'natural born Citizen' when they wrote Article II. By invoking "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow.
President John Quincy Adams, writing in 1839, looked back at the founding period and recognized the true meaning of the Declaration's reliance on the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." He observed that the American people's "charter was the Declaration of Independence. Their rights, the natural rights of mankind. Their government, such as should be instituted by the people, under the solemn mutual pledges of perpetual union, founded on the self-evident truth's proclaimed in the Declaration."

I thought the controversy would wait until Cruz was nominated. I was wrong. Even if it’s settled, the media/democrat complex will never let it drop. It’ll be 24/7 on the cable news until the election.
Meanwhile, nothing in the media about 0bama saying he was born in kenya in one of his books.
a half truth is ten times worst than an outright lie. You and BECK are trampling over one of the BIG TEN.
I agree with you on that. Trump just said, not very artfully I admit, that it's an issue that needs to be resolved before the nomination is decided which I think is fair. There are plenty of democrats just itching to beat Cruz over the head with the issue as payback for Obama's own eligibility questions (which as far as I'm concerned were answered by the unearthing of Obama's "born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia" professional biography, where that information could only have come from him).
No worries. Has Isara ever posted anything that was factual? Even that silly button thingy that she has an obsession with has been proven to be inaccurate.
A little sick of that nasty contemptibly accusation...
I deeply care and revere our Constitution...
The subject of what defines a NBC is open to interpretation, the courts have mostly fell on the definition that Cruz is eligible...
YOUR interpretation is just as valid as mine...
Agree. From what I understood Trump was saying Dems might make an issue, so Cruz has to have folks like those quoted in the article back up the fact that Cruz is a NBS. Someone with underwear 2 sizes small is trying to start something.
