Looking back at the 2008 election:

If McCain had been born in (let’s say) Arizona, instead of Panama, who do you think would have ended up in the White House?

obama..without question. McCain’s a spaz, regardless of his place of birth. obama was ordained..the election was unnecessary.

I don't think citizenship affects elections. The voters are more ignorant than you can imagine. Not to say they aren't good, honest, hard-working and mostly well meaning folks, and certainly competent and intelligent enough in what they do for a living, just that this sort of issue is WAY outside the box of factors that determines their vote.

The system is arranged to allow candidates to bluff their way through to the office. If the PTB like the candidate, they will go along with the bluff. If they don't like the candidate, they will call the bluff. Nobody in the class of PTB is calling Cruz's bluff. Even the DEMs say he is qualified.
