Donald Trump Struggles To Be Birther-Consistent

This is interesting:
Billionaire Donald Trump, the most prominent “birther” to question Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as president, asserted Friday that Sen. Ted Cruz must clear up legal doubts about his own eligibility due to his birth outside the United States.

“It’s a problem. It could be a difficult problem, but he admits that he was born in Canada,” Trump told reporters in Iowa on the eve of the first major gathering of 2016 presidential hopefuls.

“He’s a friend of mine. I have great respect for him. But …certainly it’s a stumbling block and he’s going to have to have it solved before he goes too far,” Trump said.
Trump states that Cruz is "going to have to have it solved before he goes too far." Solve what? The facts are not in issue because, as Trump points out, Cruz admits he was born in Canada.  In other words, Cruz admits to having the same eligibility problem that Trump believes dreams Obama has.

Cruz doesn't need to solve anything. Instead, Donald Trump needs to come to terms with his own racism.
