Everybody has a bad day.
His intentions were good, to avoid a loaded question. He should have avoided it more head on instead of looking like he was avoiding a question.
To extrapolate that to your thread title is silly and almost certainly agenda driven.
How would he have “avoided it more head on”?
Talk about a fair-weather friend...
And this means what to you? Anybody who drops a bundle here within the physical confines of the US is a citizen?
If that were the case, then why all the extra hubbub in the amendment? Things like "subject to the jurisdiction of" and the additions of "and of the states wherein they reside?
“Everybody has a bad day.

I dont think Cruz just had a bad day, it was a calculation. He knew he would be asked that question and that was the way he wanted to not-answer it. He should have just told the truth about what he believes (which I believe is what he said in 2011) and taken the heat. He is probably desperate at this point given that he isnt doing too well in the polls generally.
“And this means what to you? Anybody who drops a bundle here within the physical confines of the US is a citizen?”
Unfortunately yes. I have to agree with the 2011 version of Cruz on this.
But your conclusion that he's 'just another smarmy politician' is ridiculous and isn't in any way born out by the facts.
“...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
He should have mentioned that the above shows could be interpreted that illegal immigrants are not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. Also, why would that phrase be there if it’s not to limit the overgeneralization preceding it? And how come the American Indians were not given citizenship until years after the amendment was ratified?
Can you think of any other politicians that comes even close to Cruz in terms of courage, integrity, and faith in the free market system? So who are you throwing your support behind if it’s not Cruz?
And you are just another smarmy blogger who couldn’t get his crap read anywhere if not for Free Republic.
Have you contributed to the Freepathon?
And who is your candidate? Jeb? Nice.
You always have Trump.
I am still for Cruz.
I have never found perfection in any human, especially a politician.
So who is your perfect politician?
of the State wherein they reside. —
Yeah, the hospital bed, for a few hours before getting back on the jet to Chins.
Oh. State just means State of Mind. Living in their own head.
And United States means those who think alike.
See. It is obvious. Settled law.
And libertarian neocon is just another smarmy nobody whose views hold equal weight as George Will.
When Ted Cruz isn’t conservative enough for you, there is no one left. Time for you to go find an island in the Pacific and hide..
Birthright citizenship is NOT in the US Constitution. It was specifically rejected in the case of kids born to an invading foreign army, which is close to what we have now. But in truth, the current US Supreme Court will NOT allow any act of Congress or Executive Order interfere with massive illegal immigration.
Ah, I gather from your blog (pimp) that you’re pushing for Carly.
Makes sense that you’d do whatever you can to try to trash the strongest candidate, Ted Cruz.
Talk about smarmy? By using such tactics against a fine candidate like Ted Cruz, you’re making a muddy pig out of yourself.
If the Russian Ambassador has a child in the United States, is that child an American citizen?
His blog has several ads and articles in favor of Carly. He’s a fan of Carly, and is bent on trying to demean any other candidate in order to promote her. Lousy tactic. Non-Reaganesque.
Cruz should have avoided Megyn Kelly.
