Trump Calls Cruz an ‘Anchor Baby’
Political Wire ^ | January 29, 2016 | Taegan Goddard

Posted on 01/29/2016 12:17:36 PM PST by TBP

Donald Trump again claimed that Sen. Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen, The Guardian reports.

Said Trump: “He’s an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada, but Canada doesn’t accept anchor babies, they just waited a long time.”

He added: “I think that’s one of the reasons he’s a nervous wreck. Now they’re saying, I think, his career is over, right? How about this, he’s a citizen of Canada and he’s a senator from Texas?”

Trump should meet with a military family stationed overseas and call their children anchor babies to their face.

Trump is a draft dodging coward.

Ted’s father was in the military in Canada?

Ted Cruz should be the next Attorney General. That job needs cleaned up.

I’ve been generally trying to avoid saying negative things about trump and his Kardashian campaign, but it is getting more and more difficult not to.

Rafael Sr. fought with Castro in the revolution, but they were not an official “army”. They fought against the Cuban government army.

Since you are such a nationalist that you have suspicions about the loyalties of a man whose American mother gave birth to him while she temporarily resided in Calgary when her husband worked in the oil industry up there; what about:

Trump marrying foreign-born wives. This is o.k.?

And, having investments all over the world, including in Hispanic and Muslim countries? This doesn’t pose a conflict of interest?

In Brazil: https://www.trumphotelcollection.com/rio-de-janeiro/

In UAE: http://www.trump.com/golf/trump-intl-golf-club-dubai/
In Turkey: http://www.trump.com/real-estate-portfolio/istanbul/trump-towers/

And what about Trump manufacturing merchandise in China?

And, finally, would you explain why Trump said it was wrong for Carson to say he almost stabbed a man, but that as far as his followers are concerned, he [Trump] could shoot a man?

Trump slurs on Cruz is a slur on military families with children born not in the US.
Trump should tell that military family their children are anchor babies to their face

Trump is a draft dodging coward.

From a commenter on AllahPundit’s article:


http://hotair.com/archives/2016/01/29/fox-news-debate-draws-higher-ratings-than-the-last-debate-but-still-second-lowest-of-the-cycle/
The Trumpsters are so cynical about politicians: they are all corrupt, game the system to benefit themselves, don’t keep their promises, repeatedly lie, and are phony, phony, phony.

Yet their cynicism becomes blind adulation when it comes to Trump. A man who is corrupt and immoral and has gamed the system his entire career solely to benefit himself. He is not a man of his word, having screwed over his wives and his business associates. He lies constantly, and does it with such facility it makes any decent person’s skin crawl. And he is the consummate phony, politicizing both 9/11 and our veterans to help his candidacy, when his history shows no previous interest in assisting 9/11 first responders or veterans-especially the disabled vendors he wanted removed from 5th Avenue because they were destroying the elitist aura of Trump Tower and environs.

He admitted last night’s event was all about him and the fact he had to “stand up for himself” against mean old Fox News-by USING the veterans, of course. Trump has used people his entire life. Why stop now?

With Trump, the ends always justify the means.

If you feel cynical about our political system, you are certainly justified, but please, be consistent about casting a wary eye on those in power. Trump is as elitist, as establishment, as corrupt as any politician. And, in many cases, more so.

Your inconsistency and enthusiastic willingness to turn a blind eye to Trump’s sins is why anti-Trumpers are disgusted by the cult here.

Intelligent people who are serious about voting responsibly watched the debate last night. The LIV’s who need to be entertained watched The Trump Show.

Then you should love Mr. Trump, because he is going to destroy the Clintons if they stand in his way, and it is about time!

And Canada doesn’t allow anchor babies, why do we?

“How about this, he’s a citizen of Canada and he’s a senator from Texas?”

Ted forgot he was Canadian when he ran for the Senate....Ted forgot he borrowed money for Goldman Sachs.....Ted forgot he borrowed money from Citi bank.

Ted has a honesty problem and a credibility problem and it is hurting him.

“Truth be told, my biggest problem with Trump is his behaving like a buffoon.”

If it’s a smooth-tongued, polished robotic politician you want . . Trump is not your guy.
But if you want someone who has proven he can succeed fabulously beyond your ability to even imagine, and if you require that concrete PROOF of his ability, and if you want that PROOF to exceed 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35+ years so you can be absolutely assured that he is not just some fluke who is having a bit of good luck . . and if you want PROOF that your candidate can WIN against all odds over and over again, while dealing with mayors, unions, the mob, governments worldwide, regulations, governmental red tape, etc., and if you want him to have PROVEN years of hiring diverse employees from all ethnicities, genders, walks-of-life, etc., and still have a PROVEN record of promoting them to the highest ranks of his empire even BEFORE it was politically correct to do so . . if you want a man who has never touched alcohol or drugs and has raised his children to follow in his successful footsteps in every regard . . WELL, just look at the candidates who are running and tell me why you would risk the UNPROVEN ones who have none of the above skillsets by which they could be judged?

My gosh. Your desperation is getting out of control. I don’t give a dang where a wife is born. She is not running for the highest position of the World. Enough of your nonsense. Monday night will finally rid ourselves of the worst candidate in the history of the united States. Cruz needs to end his paid vacation.

If you think it’s controversial as to whether Cruz was a natural born dual citizen, Canada by place of birth, and U.S. by his mother’s lineage, then you have proven the first part of it.

But, let me ask you this question: Was Cruz also a Cuban citizen?

Based on my research, Cruz would be eligible to be a Cuban citizen if his father filed application for it. I doubt that ever happened.

The worst candidate in the history of the United States. Wouldn’t that be David Duke?

I think whoever wins the Republican nomination will win this election. This is why we have so many attractive candidates, and the other party has a pathetic field of candidates. The Donald is a smart guy and is playing the cards in his hand very well. Right now he is playing you like a violin and he will drop the birther nonsense as soon as he doesn’t need you any longer.
