Quarter of Republicans think Cruz’s birthplace disqualifies him for president: poll

The ‘G’ OP has found a way to sabotage us. Cruz gets sympathy now, and after the primary, they have a contingency plan to pull the rug out from under him. In the meantime, Trump and Cruz supporters slug it out viciously. While Majority Leader Mc-Conman laughs.
‘25% is a big chunk of the voter pool.’
That is chump-change compared to Phase Two.
After the primary, that would be a BIPARTIZAN majority.
I don’t think this is at all fair to Cruz, but until he challenges Professor Laurence Tribe to a debate, Trump and Cruz supporters are locked in a cage fight of the ‘G’ OP’s making.
[More about Tribe and the Supreme Court meddling coming up.]
How Cruz Can Come Out of This
Other than assurances of perosnal opinion by SCOTUS justices as individuals, I think it would be risky for Cruz to take this to the Supreme Court. Why? Chief ‘Just-us’ Roberts.
Roberts is a creep. I could imagine him stalling out the ruling until after the freaking election, and all the activist-leftist judges would put on pom-poms to cheer him.
Not saying that would happen, but it’s a gamble. Roberts is so self-contradictory that he acts like he has been blackmailed.
All Cruz supporters say that this is an easy issue to resolve. So?
Cruz is the best debator. Cruz is the most revered conservative constitutional scholar. And Professor Laurence Tribe? Far more respected than he deserves to be. Tribe would likely refuse to debate him.

Why Tribe?
Cruz already mocked Trump for mentioning the professor regarding this issue. Tribe is one of the top progressive constitutional scholars there is. Maybe THE top. Been that way for decades. By takeing him down, Cruz would get a feather in his cap, advance conservatism, deconsctruct progressive interpretation of the constitution, and END this issue once and for all.
If the supreme court meddles after that, Trump would be more than a mere president, but a champion — a titan who could then call for the Constitution to be amendmended and AND judicial tyranny once and for all.
BUT ... if Cruz lets this issue fester, he loses his reputation.
