Arthur, to be natural born one must be able to produce a clear allegiance to America. Being born on foreign soil is a problem in itself, but coupled with the fact that his Father is Cuban muddies the water even more. If Cruz’ Mother could confer citizenship (and thus loyalty and allegiance) to the USA through her American citizenship . . one must assume that Cruz’ Dad could confer citizenship (and thus loyalty and allegiance) to Cuba through his Cuban citizenship. For me, it is the melding of cultures that makes Cruz’ natural born citizenship suspicious. This is the very same issue we had with Obama . . and I think it has been borne out to be conflicting to him to have two cultures dominating his allegiance and loyalty to America. Don’t we have any other candidate who was clearly born on American soil who is qualified to be our President? Of course we do. We don’t have to settle for another President who obviously has issues due to his spurious birth situation.

Cruz spent a majority of his childhood in the United States and the “First World”, While Obama spent it in “Turd World” Indonesia during the rise of radical Islamism in Indonesia.
The founders intent was for someone growing up in the country and loving the country they grew up in.
Obama was certainly not of that intent, he loathes the country he is president of.
For me, it is the melding of cultures that makes Cruz’ natural born citizenship suspicious.

I agree with you.
If you were Ted, and in Ted’s position, what would you do?
I know I will probably have to go into a protection program after saying this but our law is the one thing that sets us apart from all other countries.
Our law, as it was first written, is the only one that allows citizens autonomy.
We aren’t (supposed) to be subject to the whims of a king or dictator. With our law we are able to live freely with respect to others.
I personally think Ted should put the law above his personal desires, pack up his campaign, encourage Rubio to do the same thing, and go home.
