Ann Coulter Wants To See Hillary Vs. Trump In November
PHILADLEPHIA (CBS) - Conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter reviewed last night's Republican presidential debate, declaring Donald Trump the winner and expressing her fear that Hillary Clinton won't become the Democratic nominee.
Talking with Rich Zeoli on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Coulter, who has long supported Trump, said he was the only one on the stage with anything interesting to say.
"It was a snooze-fest except when Trump was talking. Then it was fun. He talked more at this debate and there was interaction on important issues. Rubio, for example, was finally asked about his Gang of Eight bill, his only accomplishment in the US Senate. What was it? The seventh debate for him to get one question on the only thing he's done in the Senate? I thought Trump, he's great on everything. The rest of them? Yammer, yammmer, yammer and Trump's the only one who says he'll shut down the border."
She's convinced that Trump would beat Hillary Clinton and desperately wants to see the two square off for the White House in November.
"I am terrified it's not going to be Hillary. I'm going to be so bitterly disappointed...It is just stunning to me how Hillary still can't give a speech. She is the most awful speaker. You see her at these events with all, obviously, pre-programmed flaks in the audience, just screaming at every pause, after everything she says. But the main thing is, you listen to her giving a speech and it makes me wonder, does she know she's standing in front of a microphone? Because you don't have to keep yelling everything out."
When asked about the bubbling controversy surrounding the citizenship of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Coulter came down on the side opposing his eligibility to serve as President.
"No. He's not a 'natural born citizen' as I suspected all along. I briefly fell for some attorney assuring, we've looked into it, you only have to have one citizen mother. No. Why wasn't anyone saying that, including these allegedly conservative lawyers, back when people were saying Obama was born in Kenya, I don't remember any of them leaping forward and saying, oh, but that doesn't matter because his mother was an American citizen, he can be born any place. Of course it makes a difference. There is a lot of law on the subject going back to 1608, we get our definition of 'natural born' from English Common Law and among the requirements to be 'natural born,' one is that you be born in the United States."
