Trump: I Like Ted Cruz But He’s Got a Problem
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ROBERTS: “Mr. Trump, when we talk about Iowa, we see Ted Cruz in the latest poll out of Des Moines register and Bloomberg with a three-point lead.”
TRUMP: “Which is a tie, according to polls. You’re the only one that reported it that way. Everyone else said it's –“
ROBERTS: “-- within the margin of error. Evangelicals support Ted Cruz more than they do you.”
TRUMP: “Excuse me. Nationwide I’m beating Cruz a lot we with evangelicals. I can't predict, but i think I’ll do very well in Iowa. I like ted Cruz. He’s got a basic problem, but i like ted Cruz.
ROBERTS: “When we look at the race being so close in Iowa and you talk about that friendship and the fact you like him, there have been issues that have been drummed up about whether or not he would be eligible to run for president. He says that this is settled law.”
TRUMP: “And it wasn't drummed up by me. It was drummed up by the Washington Post. There are many that say he can't run for president. They are going to bring a lawsuit. They’re bringing a lawsuit -- if he got the nomination, they would bring a lawsuit that he's not eligible to run. He was born in Canada. He was a citizen of Canada until just recently. He was a citizen of Canada. It was a joint citizen of the United States and Canada. He was a citizen of Canada. Now, when you're a citizen of Canada and you were born in Canada, there's a real question. A lot of people say you have to be born of the land meaning on the land. And I’ve read numerous articles and not only professor of Harvard, you can go to others. There was a big article the other day from a different group of lawyers saying the same thing. And my problem is that he has to get this cleared up. He can go for a judgment to go to court. But how can you vote for somebody that where there's a question? I’m not saying right or wrong. I’m just saying there's a big question. You can't have your nominee with a question. It’s impossible to do. He’s going to be running and people will say he can't.”
