"LOWELL, Mass. Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruzs Canadian birthplace was a very precarious issue that could make the senator from Texas vulnerable if he became the Republican presidential nominee.
Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years? Thatd be a big problem, Trump said when asked about the topic. Itd be a very precarious one for Republicans because hed be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You dont want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head.
Trump added: Id hate to see something like that get in his way. But a lot of people are talking about it and I know that even some states are looking at it very strongly, the fact that he was born in Canada and he has had a double passport.

GOP voters don't do lessons, they do trying the same thing over and over again and wondering why it never works out.

Obama's father was Kenyan.
Cruz was born in Canada.
Obama was born in Hawaii. But what would the difference be if he was born in Kenya?
If Cruz could be President, what problem would anyone have with Obama?
Couldn't be color because they all say they aren't racist.
I don't get it.
