Trumpcampaignanalysis probably concluded Trump University wasn’t a scam, either.
How is that relevant to the constitutional eligibility issue?
Lets look at the issue.
Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father. That makes him an American citizen, none of us know if it means natural born citizen because that has never been defined.
I have read the Wong court decision. Does that mean any anchor baby can be a future president?
Mcconnel had the chance to address this and could have said “Cruz is a citizen so it is a non-issue” ......instead he chose to say, “I just don’t think the Senate ought to get into the middle of this, These guys will all slug it out in Iowa and New Hampshire. We’ll have a nominee hopefully by sometime in the spring.†He certainly didn’t have Ted’s back.
You can be damn sure a president elect Cruz would be legally challenged by the dems (and probably some republicans). What if one of them actually “has standing”? Then what? If he is found to be legitimate by the courts, there will always be that “??” surrounding his presidency, Remember W? If found ineligible then who is president? Vice president elect? Dem candidate? Or does the king retain his crown?
This will continue to be a problem for Cruz, both in the primary and the general election. Blaming Trump or Tribe isn’t going to make it go away.
