Here’s another thing that has got Ted going here. It seems many don’t know about Cruz’s background about being born in Canada, and many may not agree with him running for Pres because of it. An article snippet from today.

- - - - -

“The new survey found that only 46% of likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers realize that Cruz was born outside the US. (More Iowa Republicans believe Cruz was born in the US than President Barack Obama.)

But just 32% of GOP caucus-goers said that someone born outside the US should be allowed to serve as president, while 47% think such a person should not be able to serve as president.” -end snip-

Polling highest with likely voters among all candidates, or polling highest among likely Republican voters? There's a big difference.

Such as? Attempts to "massage" the Trump phenomenon are wrong-headed, and conceited.

Furthermore, thoughts that fewer democrats will go for Trump than formerly abstaining Republicans will suddenly appear for Cruz is abject fantasy.

But now they definitely want Trust Fund Donnie. In all the head-to-head matchups, he fares the worst against the Dem between Trump, Cruz and Rubio.

TFD ties or loses - Cruz and Rubio have high double digit leads.

Anyone who sides with Ted Kennedy gets another black mark from me. Ted and his beloved Big Dig union stealing millions from the tax payers.

Trump is for American Workers not illegal immigrants taking American jobs.

Then why does he hire so many illegals?

Can it be that you simply don’t know Trump?

Cruzers complain that Trump was a Democrat years ago.

Ok, fine. But he’s always been an AMERICAN, with no dual citizenship, only US.

Me Too Ted is the perfect example of the North American Union. Born in Canada to Cuban and US parents. Dual citizen. Almost the trifecta there. When Heidi was writing her CFR report on the NAU, I see where the idea came from.

Rafael Edward Cruz... Who made up Ted anyway? Kinda like another fist term senator with questionable birth and a thirst for power.

No thanks.

Remember, all: this campaign, and our future, is about GLOBALISM vs. NATIONALISM. We’ve got to change our mindset. It’s hard, I know. But we face an existential threat, so globalists must be exposed and removed from policy-making wherever they are found.

Leftist? ME? I’m to the right of Genghis Khan, or so I’m told by those who know me. What’s your problem? Maybe it’s because I am informed and don’t swallow the swill that is dished out against Trump? Grow up!

"Cruz is showing exactly who and what he really is, which he hid well, when he was running for the Senate. He IS nothing but someone who made money his whole life sucking off the government teat..."

Yes, much better to be like Trust Fund Donnie.

Inherit $100 million. Make stupid investments bankrupting multiple companies along the way and leaving others to hold the bag. Spend your entire adult life as a liberal Democrat. Get yourself a Kim Kardashian type reality show. Then con millions of idiots into thinking you're a "self-made businessman."

The only thing "self-made" about TFD is his pretense of conservatism.

Actually, the issue wasn’t her Age, it was her length of Residency in the United States before his Birth.

IF Obama was born outside of the Country, and his Mother did not meet the prior Residency requirements of five years, which she didn’t, he would not be considered an American Citizen at Birth. I assume upon his Mother’s return to the United State he would have been Naturalized.

Because he was Born on U.S. Soil to an American Citizen, the prior five year Residency of his Mother was not an issue.

That is why his Country of Birth was an issue, especially since he was toted as being Born in Kenya in one or two College Year Book Bios lauding his wonderfulness.

Yes it has changed. Unfortunately. I once supported Cruz until he started giving away our sovereignty with his votes. Now more and more I find fault with him. He is not who I thought he was a couple of years ago. I think Trump is the only one who can get the job done of turning this country around. He understands the issues and knows how to fight. I don’t want just another politician no matter what “label” some have assigned to him. You don’t send a butcher to fix the kitchen sink. Time we picked the man with the proper skill set for the problems we face.

Trump never had a trust fund, didn't inherit $100 Million, did NOT spend his entire adult life as a "liberal Dem" ( supporting Reagan was LIBERAL? He also supported McCaine and Romney and many other GOPers ), and you are lying about his business acumen, which you don't know a single factual thing about.

By and large, Trump IS a self-made man; he didn't stay in his father's business and went off to Manhattan to try his hand there, building apartment buildings, none of which have failed.

I've NEVER seen THE APPRENTICE, which Trump didn't make up, but was asked to be the host of. And I don't watch reality shows, so don't know anything much about the Kardashians, except that their father got O.J. off.

Who IS TFD?

Your mordant stupidity has blinded you and rotted your now liquified brains.

A military base is, for citizenship purposes considered American soil. The same applies to an Ambassador when on foreign assignment, no question his children are natural born citizens.
