Overall this is a good interview from Donald Trump as he weighs in on each of the potential candidates for 2016. But he suggested that even though he likes Ted Cruz a lot, he thinks the ‘born in Canada’ thing could be an issue for Cruz and a hurdle he will have to overcome.
He also says he thinks Sarah Palin gets treated horribly by the press and that he likes her a lot.
At the end of the interview the MSNBC reporter, Kasie Hunt, tries to get Trump in a gotcha on naming a favorite county in Iowa. But Trump will have none of it.
Watch:
UPDATE: And for all you out there who are in doubt about Cruz, TRS contributor and chief moderator KenInMontana would point you to The Naturalization act of 1940, Chapter 2, Section g:
(g) A person born outside the United States and its outlying
possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United
States who, prior to the birth of such person, has had ten years’
residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions,
at least five of which were after attaining the age of sixteen
years, the other being an alien: Provided, That, in order to retain
such citizenship, the child must reside in the United States or its
outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling five years
between the ages of thirteen and twenty-one years: Provided
further, That, if the child has not taken up a residence in the
United States or its outlying possessions by the time he reaches
the age of sixteen years, or if he resides abroad for such a time
that it becomes impossible for him to complete the five years’
residence in the United States or its outlying possessions before
reaching the age of twenty-one years, his American citizenship
shall thereupon cease.“The preceding provisos shall not apply to a child born abroad
whose American parent is at the time of the child’s birth residing
abroad solely or principally in the employment of the Government of
the United States or a bona fide American, educational, scientific,
philanthropic, religious, commercial, or financial organization,
having its principal office or place of business in the United
States, or an international agency of an official character in
which the United States participates, for which he receives a
substantial compensation;
