Ted Cruz struggles with ethanol subsidy opposition in Iowa

Cruz shrugged off the Trump’s changed position with a tweet linking to a “Happy Days” video showing Fonzie jumping the shark.

Cruz has led Trump in the most recent batch of polling in Iowa.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR TED CRUZ (Tex.): The child of a US citizen born overseas is a natural born citizen.

Cruz was born in 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, where his parents were in the oil business. His mother, Eleanor, is from DE, while his father, Rafael, is a Cuban who became a US citizen in 2005.

“You know”, he said, “we look at our federal government now, and we have a federal government that is waging a war on life, a war on marriage, a war on religious liberty”. The problem is, the Constitution does not define the term “natural born citizen”.

Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014, amid speculation he was preparing for a presidential run, less than a year after he his birth certificate.

Right now, these might just be interesting statistics indicating Trump would have trouble broadening his appeal in California if the race for the GOP nomination isn’t locked up by Super Tuesday in March.

“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 decision. “I don’t want to have a thing like this happen”, Trump told “Fox & Friends”, adding, “I will say, though, that the Democrats, if they bring a lawsuit on it, I mean, you have to get it solved”.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest couldn’t hide his amusement when a reporter asked whether Obama was enjoying the back and forth between the two candidates. Trump said in an interview that aired on “The Situation Room”.

On Monday, he took to Twitter to slam Trump’s line of attack. One might think that would make the Arizona senator sympathetic to Cruz (particularly after Trump questioned his war hero status), but he actually fanned the flames in a radio interview on Wednesday.

Cruz repeated to the audience in Winterset, Iowa, his insistence that an atheist would be unfit to be president , saying, “If you don’t begin every day on your knees asking God for His wisdom and support, I don’t believe you’re fit to do this job”.

A chance to hear about the issues and plans from this presidential hopeful.
