With this impressive resume, why has Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz failed to resolve his eligibility problem? Why does he go by “Ted” and not his real name, Rafael?
This problem pains me to the max because, through all of this effort to be President, this great person; with all of his accomplishments, may be neutralized by a court room verdict.
Even though I am supporting Trump, Senator Cruz always has been high in my admiration. I understand those who support him so passionately. If Trump does get nominated, I want him to put Senator Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz on the ticket. He would have to resolve the eligibility problem, because the Vice President also needs to be a “natural born citizen.” Once through that hurdle, they would be the ultimate dream team. Both would benefit from each other. The Donald would be brought light years ahead in his Conservative journey and make the best President our nation needs. Cruz will learn Trump’s skills as a leader. Then, he will use those skills when he becomes an Abraham Lincoln class President. Case closed.
Rafael sounds too much Cuban. Ted is more American, like Teddy Kennedy.
Maybe because he doesn't want to be confused with the other ninja turtles. Seriously, I know a lot of people who prefer either their middle name or a derivative nickname based on their middle name. Big deal.
