Trump is demanding that Cruz prove that he is a natural born US citizen (a constitutional requirement to become a US President). Cruz is having a hard time complying.

Don't tell me -- nothing good on the teevee right now?

I could beat Trump in California. Anyone can. California understands he's a clown.

That CLOWN is running neck and neck with the 2nd biggest whacko in the race.

"That CLOWN is running neck and neck with the 2nd biggest whacko in the race."

Who's a republican. We know how well republicans do in this state, don't we?

John McCain also has doubts about Ted Cruz's citizenship. AP News report: Web Link

Obama is strangely staying quiet about this issue.

McCain: "I think there is a question," McCain said. "I am not a constitutional scholar on that. But I think it's worth looking into. I don't think it's illegitimate to look into it."

Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada to an American mother and Cuban father. He **renounced** his Canadian citizenship in 2014.


WHHHHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?


The dude renounced his lifelong citizenship in the country he was born in?!?!?

Why? Just for political purposes!

Why on earth would anyone consider an idiot who renounced his lifelong citizenship for political purposes? What a sleazy move.

I'm for Trump, a real American. Make America great again!

A resident of Portola Valley. Gee, what a surprise.

Fe Fi Fo Fump!

I smell a Birther like Donald Trump!

Trump will make America great again. Look at the jobs report - Obama added 292000 jobs last month. Trump will add 400,000 jobs a month every month, just by beating the Chinese.

The best the liberals have is Samuel L Jackson accusing Donald Trump of cheating in the round of golf they played together.

That's it.

Donald Trump will pass the liar Cruz, a disloyal Canadian, and take California.

It's all clear to me- Orange County wants Orange Hair!

@for the Donald!: Have you ever considered getting medical attention for that condition you so obviously suffer from?

y'all act like I'm a fringie loon - I'm not.

For example, Trump is anti-abortion, but the real loons are the guys in 2nd and 3rd place in national polls - Calgary Cruz and ElevatorHeel Rubio, who are anti-abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

Forcing a rape victim to bear her attackers child?

Now THAT is some extreme stuff. In comparison to those loons, Trump is the GOP moderate!

Trump 2016 - The Donald takes the CA GOP primary in a landslide!

@for the Donald!: Okay, so let's overlook the garbage that comes out of The Donald's mouth on a regular basis.

On second thought, let's not.

I am a registered Republican and am persuading my fellow Republicans that a vote for Cruz or Trump will all but ensure a Clinton victory. Both Kasich and Christie would be much better candidates and would be good presidents.

I'm sorry, but if Kasich and Christie can't even register in the primary against Trump or Cruz, what kind of chance will they have against Hillary? Granted, Kasich doesn't have nearly as much negatives as Christie, but only the elitists are going to care about that.

A lot of Trump supporters are just livid at GOP politicians and all the lies they've foisted upon us for years.

Promise to end abortion and other promises about faith and values. Promise to get tax cuts for working folk, not billionaires. Immigration reform. A line item veto. Cut the number of congressional committees by a third. Eliminate entire departments. The list goes on forever.

Their results? Zip, nada, zilch. Reagan at least worked with the dems and got something done. Bush had his pen and BOTH houses and did nothing but destroy the economy and a land war. Today's GOP is even worse - ZERO achievements.

This year, we have SENATORS running as Washington outsiders! A couple more lifetime politician (governors!) running as outsiders!

They call it the deepest bench ever. Maybe numerically but - it is the WEAKEST bench in memory.

TRUMP!

I refuse to vote for any of the others.

Maybe Secretary Webb if he goes 3rd party.

Kasich ?

Ever hear him talk? Sounds like marbles in his mouth, right?

It's not. It's what happens to a voice when feeding on the government dole for so long. 45 years of taking public money!

Christie needs to keep raising money for lawyer fees.

Question: how do the different candidates stand on the armed extremists that are occupying Federal property in Oregon?

I here the extremists are calling for their supporters to bring supplies. Should the Feds arrest anyone trying to do that?

LMFTFY

"...armed TERRORISTS that are occupying Federal property in Oregon?"

They are armed and threaten to kill anyone who tries to remove them. They occupy our land and say they want it free for their purposes (grazing.) The establishment GOP learned from the Deadbeat Bundy ranch fiasco - they will not support those idiots again.

In Trump news, he is calling out Cruz on birth. This is an error, Mr. Donald. Call Cruz out for disloyalty, in renouncing his citizenship in the country of his birth for naked political reasons.

In DubNation news: Dubs host the hot Heat tonight - wish I had a ticket. Going to be a hulluva test for our boys. A good warm up for visit to the Cavs next week and SAS on the 25th!

Pistons, Cavs, Bulls, Pacers, SAS and a rematch against the Mavs. Heat are hot, but no one is ballin' like the Spurs! Quite the 11 day run for hoop!

Cruz is terrible, and for far more reasons than dropping the citizenship of his birth country.

re: DubNation - YES!

Fox forces Carly to sit at the kids table for this week's Republican debate: Web Link

Thursday's debate will be Must See TV - as The Donald delivers another smackdown to his lessers.

Think about it - a wildly successful businessman against these fawning, braying so-called public servants who have been on the public payroll forever. Yuck! Just the thought of Bush, Christie, Rubio, Cruz, etc.. make me ill.

Did Cruz even show up last night at the SOTU? And all those fuax conservative jack@$$s that stayed glued to their seat and wouldn't even applaud our military getting Bin Laden or cheer for curing cancer! Just so they could look like passive aggressive idiots and make a show of not applauding America.

Nicky Haley talks well (tho no specifics as usual) - TRUMP/Haley 2016!

“Trump should deport Nikki Haley”
"I'd really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican, but on the other hand, she's an immgrant and does not understand America's history"

Oh, Anne, you vixen. Silly girl!

-- Nikki Haley: "The best thing we can do is turn down the volume"
-- (Anne) Translation: Voters need to shut the hell up.

Haley went against the Stars and Bars last year - a good move. No REAL American will ever support the Terrorists who fired on Americans at Fort Sumter, all in the name of owning, trading, torturing and abusing humans of a different color.

New Yawkers never forget those who attack America.

TRUMP/Haley 2016!

"Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk" - Nikki Haley, Web Link

Haley will walk that back in a HEARTBEAT.

If trumpy picks her

So many complete wackos in the GOP, its hard for even the aficionados of Nut-jobbery to choose a fav!

Haley, the Paulies, fat boy, Calgary Cruz the Canuck, lil black cocktail dress and pearls Coulter.

"They're just granaries" Carson!

And Trump. Wow!!!!!!

What a great time for entertainment!

Whaaaa!?!?!? They think THEY CAN ACTUALLY GOVERN?

Bwahhahahahahahhahahahaha.... thats a good one!

>>> Cruz the Canuck

Cruz the CRAZY Canuck

Dude seriously better get a declaratory judgment on eligibility.

Born in Canada. Now it comes out his mother was on the voter rolls in Canada and thereby a Canadian citizen at the time.

His father was a foreigner. Isn't the GOP the party that said Obama wasn't 'Murican because his father was a foreigner?

The Republican-lead US Congress declared that Panama-born John McCain was a "natural born citizen" because John McCain was popular in congress. Ted Cruz is extremely unpopular in the current Republican-lead congress, so they aren't going to bless him. If Cruz is that unpopular now, how is he going to work with congress if he becomes president?

"Donald Trump will damage the ability to grow this party. He will get creamed with Hispanics and young women. Ted Cruz is an ideologue that has no ability to bring the country together. So the top two guys, I think, would lose an election we can't afford to lose." - Sen. Lindsey Graham, Web Link

"I think Donald Trump says a lot of things that are crazy"
"Donald Trump's a moron"
- Carly Fiorina, Web Link

Donald Trump claims credit for Iran's release of Americans. CBS News report: Web Link

ERROR - "The REPUBLICAN-lead US Congress declared that Panama-born John McCain was a "natural born citizen"

The bill was in 2008, in April, well before the election Web Link

Co-sponsored by OBAMA and CLINTON.

And that was Nancy Pelosi's House that made that declaration.

So - wrong party.

----

"Panama-born John McCain" - Born on a US base in Panama. And McCain's mother wasn't registered to vote in Panama/Canada, thus a citizen of another country, whose allegiance requires forsaking US citizenship.

Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act says Americans lose their citizenship if they take loyalty oaths to foreign governments; as in registering to vote in Canada.

Cruz has to clear that up. Worse, as a poster above pointed out- Cruz renounced his citizenship in 2013 just to make his presidential run more palatable for tea-bag voters. Web Link

Cruz and "palatable" in the same sentence. Now then, that is quite the rarity!

"I think Donald Trump says a lot of things that are crazy"
"Donald Trump's a moron"
- Carly Fiorina, Web Link

Thus, Carly proves the 'broken clock' theoryj.

"as in registering to vote in Canada" AT THAT TIME. Canada has since changed their oath.

Clear it up, Teddy.

Then explain how a common man of the people has a wife at Goldman, and takes loans from Goldman, then forgets to report them.

Trump spoke at Liberty U today. Isnt that Falwells place?

For shame.

Donald Trump plans to increase taxes and tariffs to encourage American companies like HP and Apple to make their products in the USA instead of China. CNET News: Web Link

Everyone MUST watch Sarah Palin's "speech" endorsing Donald Trump.

It is spectacular.

Oh. My. Lord.

Possibly the ultimate moment of the campaign.

Sarah Palin is very controversial. Is her endorsement a net positive or negative for Trump? I assume she helps him in the more conservative primaries, but may hurt in moderate states and especially in the general election.

"Sarah Palin is very controversial."

Not true, she is not very controversial. Have you watched her endorsement?

She is NOT controversial. There are a small number of Americans who may like her, but for the rest, the vast majority of Americans left center and right, again, there is no controversy - they all agree.

The half-term quitter who never reads, is a (state bird of Minnesota.) Zero controversy about that fact.

Sarah Palin is the woman that the GOP told us in 2008 would save the GOP; now she just endorsed the fool who is destroying the party. What does that tell us about the GOP?

Or, as comics all over the net are pointing out in various forms:

- Breaking: Politician turned reality show star endorses reality show star turned politician.

One has wife-beating children, the other has kids who shoot elephants for fun.

Yech

Thank you, GOP, for screwing wuth your base for all these years; such that they are so over the establishment that they are choosing Trumpet and the Canuck.

I am looking forward to another Dem for 8 years.

Now to rid the country of gerrymandering, and take back the house.

Thanks, GOP!

Trump slowly realizes that Palin is a lunatic. Youtube any event where he has to stand behind and listen to her stream of consciousness speaking style.

Cruz dodged a bullet not getting her.

"... stand behind and listen to her stream of consciousness speaking style."

You mean like his "stream of consciousness speaking style?"

The pot calls the kettle black.

Fair enough - I just think he knows what he is saying, and how he sounds.

I think.

She, otoh, is clueless.

Did you know? Famed songwriter ("This Land is Your Land", etc) Woody Guthrie rented an apartment from Donald Trump's father during the 1950s and wrote a song about the senior Trump. The lyrics are printed in Billboard magazine: Web Link

No surprises there. The apple doesn't fall far....

Donald Trump vs Megyn Kelly and FOX News. Who won this round?

Fox lost. That "memo" proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are NOT fair nor balanced.

This is a complete disaster for the GOP anyway.

Cruz, by claiming "vote your conscious" sets up for Trump massive loss.

Can claim any GOPPER who supported Trump is an idiot.

And he is right.

Cruz blew it by not supporting The Donald, the leader of the conservative movement. Get outta here! Fuhgettaboutit!

Loser! Sad!
