And I don't disrespect anybody for liking Cruz. He has a compelling message, and he is, I believe, sincere too. Just that this one blind spot of his (and I don't think it is a blind spot to him, but that's what it looks like) bugs me.
I also don't disrespect a person for voting for Cruz even if the person knows or believes Cruz is not qualified. It's a harsh world out there, and compromises on principle are inevitable. I'd probably vote for Cruz in the general, even though I would know I was enabling subversion of the (NBC part of) constitution. Once in awhile I feel like that's too dirty for me, but a person only votes once. I voted for McCain against my principles, so I'd probably vote for Cruz against my principles too.
I did not vote for McCain because he wasn’t eligible. I will vote for Cruz if he is nominated, even though I believe he does not fit the original definition of natural born citizen.
The definition has been changed to mean born a citizen to make Obama eligible. Cruz is every bit as eligible as Obama.
