problem is... the left understands TCruz isn’t eligible and they’re hoping he gets the nomination. they will then contest his NBC status, pointing to not being born on the soil (thereby not addressing the 2 parent question... leaving 0bama untouched).
which will result in the right scrambling for a candidate going into the election. whoever is chosen, he won’t have the momentum and the base will be disillusioned. this will allow the dem candidate (which i believe will be EWarren) to win without much opposition.
if TCruz wants to run, he needs to address the issue early and get the SCOTUS to rule on the question before it’s too late
This is what I worry about too. It would be very bad for us if we nominate him, and they immediately start filing lawsuits.
Not only will this introduce doubt into the public mind, there is a possibility that he will in fact lose such cases. The Case of Rogers v Bellei argues the possibility of a serious threat.
Not everyone has such a warped understanding of cause and effect as does Nero Germanicus, and I wouldn't count his odds as good if he encounters any rational members of the Judiciary. Fortunately for him, there aren't that many, so maybe he has a chance.
