This really smacks of desperation from Trump. He probably knows there's no legal standing for the accusation, but he's just trying to see he can plant some doubts in the minds of enough low info voters who might be considering going for Cruz.

Maybe not as he potentially was just trying to attack Obama in the same fashion.

This is what I said earlier in so many words.

Potentially "a little more here - a little more there" it adds up.

No not saying that at all.

Apparently NOT when SCOTUS keeps insisting U.S. citizens have no standing to question the eligibility of their elected leader. As if what a POTUS does has no effect on U.S. citizens whatsoever. What a joke our country has become. /disgusted

No, all federal court appeals have been deflected for "lack of standing." As if what a POTUS does has no effect on U.S. citizens whatsoever. What a joke our country has become. /disgusted
