He wasn't born in Kenya though.
I just can't believe that NO ONE in the GOP is willing to admit the glaring hypocrisy here. All it will do is just drive home old, established, generally false narratives about the GOP.
GOP doesn't care though and is completely oblivious to how all of this seems.
Trump is right about going after Cruz on this-- right and CONSISTENT, but I don't think his rhetoric on Cruz is nearly as inflammatory and the EFFECTS of his rhetoric is DEFINITELY not nearly as inflammatory.

Ted make Donald look totally weak tonight on the birther issue in tonight's debate.

Haha, that was great. It's interesting to watch Trump and Cruz interact, because unlike with other candidates, Trump keeps his criticism down a bit against Cruz. There's no doubt, IMO, that he likes Cruz more than the rest of the candidates.

Also, I agree with Trump. Should Cruz win, they will sue over his eligibility. Might as well get in front of this now and quash it in the court before it happens.

It has zero chance of going to court, as Ted Cruz stated. After the debate, Trump spoke with Hannity and doubled down on the birther issue. The dude is insane.
Now, on the NY values exchange, Trump played his emotional appeal regarding 9-11. Only the media and people who hate Cruz would think that Trump won that exchange as well.
Interestingly, Ted Cruz already knew that Trump had used the 9-11 comment against in him before last night's debate. So, I believe, as is Cruz's style, he used it to get more coverage to speak in the coming days. The man is principled and brilliant. LOL!

Zero chance? Sorry PO, I like Cruz and want him to win as well, but the odds the Dems will take Cruz to court if he wins is much higher than zero. This is the Democratic party we're talking about.
One is either very naive or too cocky in thinking there's no chance this is taken to court should Cruz win the nomination.

I hope Cruz isn't too naive or cocky to think there's zero chance his eligibility will be sued in court. Already one suit filed, more will likely come unless the courts settle this issue.

People sue presidents all the time. It is no big deal.
