Donald Trump is attacking Ted Cruz because he was born in Canada.  John McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal, also brought it up.  This is clear evidence that both Donald Trump and the Republican establishment are terrified by Ted Cruz.

They would not be doing this if their internal polls were not showing some very scary results.  This is nothing short of a desperate Hail Mary attempt to slow down a strong movement toward Ted Cruz.  If this is all they got, they got nothing.  This could seriously backfire.  .  It could even help Cruz by cementing his reputation as outside the establishment.  This is not only a cheap shot; it is an embarrassingly inept cheap shot.

Donald Trump has recently started to downplay expectations in Iowa.  This is a good indication that his staff has warned him that he is likely to lose there.

I don’t know who is winning at this point, but it is pretty obvious who is starting to show signs of fop sweat.
