Praise God And Pass The Maple Syrup: Donald Trump Goes Birther On Ted Cruz
Just sayin' ...
It's moments like this that make a humble little blogger so grateful to be alive and sitting at her computer machine 37 hours a day, in her sweats that haven't been changed in [ redacted ] days:
Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruz’s Canadian birthplace was a “very precarious” issue that could make the Texas senator vulnerable if he became the Republican presidential nominee.
[contextly_sidebar id="SDS22Keh6rKakDsFIdtDRChw9LJvEPZu"]Is he ... is he really going there? To that place? The place where even the fringiest wingnuttiest of wingnuts have (mostly) dared not go because Ted Cruz isn't black or Hawaiian or a Democrat and so obviously not-really-American, like certain presidents named B. HUSSEIN Obama?
The fuck do you think? He's Donald Trump! Of course he's going there:
“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?’ That’d be a big problem,” Trump said when asked about the topic. “It’d be a very precarious one for Republicans because he’d be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You don’t want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head.”
Trump added, “I’d 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.”
[contextly_sidebar id="a6cx942lBUbFJS4nZzeGvYJdM2TX1los"]Trump sure would hate it (wink wink) if anyone were to drag Cruz to court (WINK WINK) over "precarious" questions regarding his eligibility (WINK MOTHERFUCKIN' WINK ) to pose a threat to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Would be a real shame if that were to happen (SERIOUSLY, YOU PEOPLE TAKING NOTES HERE?), especially since Cruz has a "double passport," which may or may not be true, and may or may not even be a real thing. Especially since Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship years ago when people like Donald Trump -- yes, that Donald Trump, duh -- first started speculating that Cruz is a unlegitimate foreign.
Better stop looking so good in those polls, Sen. Cruz, or The Donald might have to send his team of private investigators after your so-called birth certificate too.
UPDATE: Cruz's response seems a little low-energy, don't you think?

Was never actually sure I was any drier for the use of a tarp or bivouac sac either. The trick was getting somebody else to carry the tent. I always "volunteered" to cook and carry the food and gas and stove, most of which got lighter as a trip progressed. Now my secret is out!
Same here! The law of diminishing provisions pays for itself.The other great trick was to volunteer for KP, since you got to eat first on troop outings.
