Trump is going nativist on Cruz







LOWELL, Mass. — Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruz’s 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?’ 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.”

see another Republican just designated President by SCOTUS? After all, if they could claim obtaining an accurate count of the vote over 2 months in one state wasn't worth the bother, what would they say to a lengthier court delay that could hand the nation over to a Democrat?

That and no-holds-barred campaigning - you talk bad about me or come close to me in the polls, you better watch out - are about all Trump knows how to do.
