Byron York: Heidi Cruz says 'Ted is an immigrant'
Washington Examiner, 4/30/16 7:50 PM ,  Byron York


GREENFIELD, Ind. — At a campaign stop just days before the critical Indiana primary, Heidi Cruz, wife of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, said one of her husband's strengths in the campaign is that he "is an immigrant."
 
"Ted is an immigrant," Mrs. Cruz said, emphasizing the word "is." "He is Hispanic."

=======================

How long will they hold her job open for her @ Goldman Sachs?

This is almost as dumb as Melania Trump saying "Donald has always been faithful to me."

Which she has never said.

Not quite.  But good try.

Not quite.  But good try.   

It's almost as dumb  because you and I know that it's not true.   Whereas Melania would never say any such thing about her Donald.

If he is an immigrant he doesn't qualify to run for president. She said a very stupid thing. I can't stand either of the Cruz's anymore they make me physically sick. Not quite as bad as how I feel about Obama but right up there.

But you're still happy to swill the "truthful hyperbole" being pitched by Saint Donnie.

Heidi using the wrong word doesn't make Ted Cruz an immigrant any more than Trump using a wrong word makes Tanzanya a country. Tan-zany-ah

[Bill Cipher]

It's not a smart thing to say, but it also has no effect on his actual status as a citizen at birth under U.S. law.

It's not a smart thing to say, but it also has no effect on his actual status as a citizen at birth under U.S. law.

There is no legal precedent, for a President born outside the US.

Having said that, the USSC has not ruled, and may well feel it is best, left to voters.

In that case, voters ARE deciding NOT in Cruz' favor, regardless of what "legalese" spews from the Canadian-Cuban's constantly moving lips.

Of the same cloth as the 9/11 truthers, you guys just won't give up.

[flowers]

No a good thing for her to say.

I prefer someone from Goldman Sach's than a former porn star.

I've seen photos of Heidi at the gun range. I would take a pro 2A women who enjoys shooting with the guys and other women, any day over what Trump thinks qualifies as a throphy wife.

Heidi Cruz: ‘Ted Is An Immigrant!’

Heidi Cruz opened up a potential line of attack for Donald Trump on Saturday when she told a campaign crowd in Indiana that her husband can unify the Republican party because he is an immigrant.

“Ted is an immigrant. He is Hispanic. He can unify this party,” Cruz told an audience in Greenfield, according to the Washington Examiner’s Byron York.

The Texas senator was born to a Cuban father and American mother in Canada in 1970 but moved to Texas several years later. And though Cruz is an American citizen because his mother’s nationality, Trump has used his opponent’s birthplace to suggest that he is not eligible for president.

As York notes, Trump frequently calls Cruz by his given name, Rafael, during his campaign speeches, likely as a suggestion to voters that Cruz is soft on immigration.

It remains to be seen if Trump will jump on Heidi Cruz’s comments or if doing so will prove effective. But the real estate billionaire may have trouble in doing so since his wife, Melania, is an immigrant from Slovenia.Indiana’s primary, which will be held Tuesday, is a must-win for Cruz if he is to have any chance of winning the GOP nomination. As it stands, he cannot win the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination before the party’s convention. His only hope now is to prevent Trump from reaching that magic number, too.

Trump has 996 delegates with 571 still available.
