Would you be equally committed to your position if Cruz had been born in Texas and Trump in Scotland?
I like Cruz too, almost as much as Trump. But here is a logistical problem:
Only 1/4 Republicans believe that Cruz is inelibible. So he might win the nomination, especially if this becomes the main issue.
Then phase 2 — Mitch McConnell already threw him under the bus, the democats will point that out, and ‘shazam!’ All the DNC becomes hypocritical birthers. They confuse the low-info voter, and where does that leave us? Arguing AGAINST original intent while they become ‘pious’ constitutionalists.
The issue should be about a border wall, the budget, ISIS, the economy, failed socialism, crony-corruption, BenGahzi.
Do we want the issue to be about how unfair it is that only the father’s citizenship counts in natural born status?
Stinks to high heaven.
McConman’s dagger has blood on it from Cruz’ back.
My position would be the same if I was a Bush fanboy.
