When Cruz was born, the eviddence on his birth certificate made him automatically a citizen of Canada, and if he or his parents applied for it, a citizen of Cuba, and if he or his parents applied for it, also a citizen of the US.
-- I learned that in 2016 Levin's then fiance had a son who was on the Cruz campaign team, so I think that certainly colored his view of things. --
That, and likely he preferred Cruz as a candidate and was doing the usual lawyer thing, advocating.
Thanks.
My number one negative about Cruz even while I was supporting him was the NBC issue. Never remember using the acronym, though. :-) I mostly did not think about the issue and when I did it was “well 0vomit is not a NBC, so apparently we’re ignoring that issue now”. I did not look close enough to satisfy myself for sure whether Cruz was or wasn’t.
I think that was one reason why it was easy for me to transition to Trump.
One other huge factor that affected me was during the debates when they asked the candidates to raise their hand if they would not promise to support the eventual nominee. Trump was the ONLY ONE who raised his hand. I would have raised my hand because I would definitely not have supported Jeb. (not sure about the others). I appreciated his honesty and I wondered if the rest were all lying. Obviously some of them were.
