If Cruz is the nominee Trump and the Republicans will have been pushing this agenda for going on a year. If it didn't stop Cruz from getting the nomination then it won't help the Democrats in the general and they know it.
We're being pre-emptive with an issue they would bring up if he were to be the nominee.
Bull. Trump is raising this in an attempt to derail the campaign of his closest rival. It's not going to work.
Establishing whether or not Cruz is eligible NOW takes it off the table.
Cruz has released his mother's birth certificate. It is off the table, or should be.
Why would Cruz WANT the nomination if it isn't established 100% that he's eligible.
What would it take for you to consider it 100% settled? Cruz has produced his mother's birth certificate. There is the law that was in effect when he was born. All that adds up to him being a natural-born citizen. What more do you want?
Me? I don't think it's a real fine precedent to have a foreign born president.
We lived with them up until Martin van Buren and somehow the Republic survived.
So you believe the totality of the "birther" question with Obama was nonsense since his mother was born in the US? Any mother born in the US has children who are "natural born citizens" and thus eligible to be President of the US? What if an American mom goes to ISIS land and has a child there? That child is eligible?
Was Ted Cruz's first birth certificate, at birth, issued by the US? Don't you see the problem? Obama's eligibility, which should've been more fully challenged, was that he had a US mother and was born in the US. Cruz, logically, isn't even as elibible as Obama is.
Look, I really don't know. But Cruz supporters not willing to seriously consider the questions we have here, because he knows he's elibible, makes a lot of us wondering why they don't want to discuss it or figure out how to get the question resolved in a way that's definitive.
