The Party was already in a 'very precarious situation' until Ted announced his candidacy, Don.  Get with the program.

He let the media milk the preliminary stuff as long as they liked. Free advertising. Now it's on to the "By the way, isn't he ineligible?" maneuver. Yawn. By the way, isn't Donald lucky Daddy had money, so he didn't have to work for Mafia contractors to build things like Trump Tower?

An INTERVIEWER, not Donald Trump, raised the question.
Donald responded rather mundanely.

This is YET ANOTHER case of the MSM trying to manufacture a controversy,
trying to goad the candidates into doing the media's dirty work for them.

Trump and Cruz are both not taking the bait.

Sorry je, I have WATCHED Trump and seen him plant seeds of validity to this question.  He is obviously trying to bring this issue to the forefront in people's minds. 

He is NOT as innocent as you portray him!

You are a sucker if you think he is not attacking Cruz!

All those questions have been answered by the current Resident.  Anybody can be elected as US President.  The thinnest fume of American citizenship can be construed as "Natural Born Citizen."

Nope! The Marxist has yet to unseal his records, so his status is still up for debate.
Cruz on the other hand is Natural Born according to the law.

The Naturalization Act of 1790 probably constitutes the most significant evidence available. Congress enacted this legislation just three years after the drafting of the Constitution, and many of those who voted on it had participated in the Constitutional Convention. The act provided that "children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens."

Then in 1940 the Bill was amended to include the mother, regardless of father's citizenship status so as to cover children born abroad "Natural Born" status during war in the event of death,

That pretty well nails it down.

Whether it was Trump or the interviewer who raised the question,
it's a good thing that it's being discussed and put to rest now.

The bad thing is that the Official Media Experts
will throw mud and slime for years to come
to delude the uneducated and disinformed.

There is no way in hell even 1 in 5 Democrats know John McCain was born in the Canal Zone.

Good point.  If Trump had been running in '08, he would've parrot-squawked it to everybody in ear-shot though.  And the result would've been the same:  The Naturalization Act can't be litigated to exclude Cruz.  Period.

Yep, one has forged paperwork and groomed by communists/terrorists to destroy the nation whose documents were sealed, while the other is a real American born of an American mother that loves this country and wants to rebuild it.

Yeah, a bit of a difference...
