Rubio was born in Florida on May 28, 1971. His parents had come to the United States from Cuba in 1950s. Trump retweeted a tweet on Saturday that suggested both Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz were ineligible to be president.

In a statement on today's Meet the Press, Trump again cited the natural born citizen clause and stated:
Quote
No man that’s born of woman
Shall e'er have power upon me.


Apparently, Rubio's mother has a C-Section.

That's how politics in America work. You make a claim and shout it from the highest hill, then it will go viral and a great multitude will believe it without any fact checking. The claim does not have to be true, or based in any fact what so ever.

There is now a certain amount of Americans that will believe that Rubio is ineligible because they want to believe that and they will repeat it over and over to their friends and acquaintances. It's a shitty attack on a campaign rival and illustrates how the Donald does business. His art of the deal includes lying, deceit and manipulation, but to the Trumpeteers, the means justify the ends so shout it they will.

I thought people who were in the lead usually acted like it.

He's like Obama. It's not sufficient just to win. He's got to wipe your nose in it.
