I have said this so many times that I am sick of repeating myself, but here goes once more.
The Democrats do not have to win in court. All they need to do is win in the court of public opinion.
If the media conveys the impression that Cruz is not legitimate, it will cost him the election, even if he wins in court.
Maybe nothing will come of it, but the possibility exists that right after he becomes our nominee, the Democrats open up a blitzkreig assault on his legitimacy. They will file lawsuits, they will repeat through the media that he's not eligible, and if they can shave a few percent of the vote, he will likely lose the general election.
I'm a Cruz supporter, and I think he's the best man for the job, but let us not fool ourselves about how great of a threat this issue could become. It could become a very great threat.
It's going to be hard enough to get any of the purple states to vote for him anyways, and if we can't pry off a blue state, we are not going to win this next election.

Yes, that’s true. All they need do is cast a cloud of uncertainty over the whole shootin match.
