Trump Goads Cruz on Eligibility to Run

[Longiron]

??? Trump not attacking Cruz?  He is now relentless in bringing focus on Cruz's eligibility.  He had at one point made the comment that he would pick Cruz as his VP.  So which is it Donald; at one point you think Cruz would be eligible to be your VP but now you are saying he is not eligible to be POTUS?  If he's not eligible to be POTUS he isn't eligible to be VP.  The Twelfth Amendment states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States." Thus, to serve as vice president, an individual must: be a natural-born U.S. citizen; be at least 35 years old and have resided in the U.S. at least 14 years.

You can thank him after IOWA?

Trump's mother was born in Scotland and some are saying she hadn't yet been naturalized when she was born. Now you and I both know he is still an NBC, but we know the Democrats will bring this up so he better go ahead and address it. It is probably something he should get a court to settle before he goes any further.

(do I believe this, no, but just following the logic he used with Cruz)

--This will NOT be settled in a court during this election cycle

--It WILL damage Cruz, probably enough to prevent him from gaining the nomination

--Assuming Trump is the nominee, he wouldn't have chosen Cruz anyway for his running mate, opting instead for better balance (Rubio, Fiorina, Carson, Walker, Perry, somebody not mentioned yet, etc.)

My two cents' worth

No worries. Trump's mother was a naturalized US citizen four years before his birth.  So, Trump, born of the land with two American parents is a natural born American citizen.

  it will do real damage to him. The left never stops once it has its teeth in anyone or anything. this will haunt him to his dying days.

Even if the worst happens and Cruz doesn't get the nomination - he is going to make a magnificent Supreme Court judge for President Trump - and really, that has a much longer lasting effect.
