Trump has a birther past. He said it wasn't an issue during the summer and now all of a sudden it is an issue again. Trump's actions are deliberate and an attempt to derail the campaign of his closest rival for the nomination.
And Ted is being challenged in three states already.
Which will go nowhere. Or have you already forgotten about the fate of the dozens of Obama birther lawsuits?
Cruz is facing this head-on, which is good and showcases his abilities in a crisis—so, I see this as a net plus for him, not a negative.
It's a negative because Trump has forced him to deal with an absurdity instead of the issues. Did anyone pay attention to what Cruz had to say about North Korea? No, because of this Trump birther nonsense. It'll be interesting to see what Trump does to keep it going.
Your ire is best directed at that Manchurian candidate SOB John McCain, who could not wait to get in front of a camera and torpedo Cruz.
All McCain did was parrot Trump. And since McCain would much rather see a third Obama term than a first Cruz term then his comments are not surprising. But McCain is also irrelevant.
Very good post.
