He’s being a little too flippant about a serious Constitutional matter for potential personal gain, which leads me to suspect his bona fides as a Constitutional conservative.
“The People” appears to be a very malleable construct to him, subject to the whims of legislation. Essentially, he’s avowing that he’s Constitutionally eligible via unrelated statute.
Not a good sign, imho. He’ll betray himself elsewhere, Imho, probably over international tribalism like Rubio. The only “tribe” with which he should concern himself is identified in the Constitution, We The People.
Excellent comments.
IMO Obama has a better claim to NBC status than Cruz. There are three possible factors to consider: mother’s citizenship status, father’s citizenship status, place of birth.
Obams meets two of three, Cruz one of three.
That is exactly what has bothered me about the whole situation. He is a well educated, brilliant law student. That he would say this means he is out for political gain and his personal ambition is more important to him than the Constitution which means he is not the constitutional conservative he is represented to be.
After Rubio and all the other RINOs I’ve seen in Florida and nationally, I was watching to see how Cruz would handle this specific situation to determine if he was in fact the real deal or something else. From his action here, it appears he is not real.
