I have read both of your comments. Whether I agree or disagree it is the perception of both local 9-12 and Tea Party groups that he is ineligible.
They are “hung-up” on the Natural Born issue and just not going to accept your comment of his being born a citizen as acceptable.
They vow not to vote for several candidates for this reason and no PUSHING of facts will budge them. Parents later becoming citizens does not qualify them... Raised in America loving, Patriotic homes or dedication to the USA are qualifications equally falling on deaf ears.
Don’t bother with the “lesser of evils” they will accept Hillary before they will give in to the accepted practice or other arguments I have heard people confront them with.
Any suggestions?
no amount of emotional argument will matter. being an upstanding citizen, 20+ year military vet, or member of the PTA won’t matter.
if an ineligible candidate gets the nomination of their party, the opposing party has grounds to challenge their eligibility. if the GOP nominated such a person, the DNC candidate would immediately contest it with the SCOTUS.
and they would win... immediately disqualifying the GOP candidate... giving them the win on a walk.
try to divorce yourself from the emotional rhetoric and you can see how this would unfold.
that is why i say TCruz MUST get the SCOTUS to rule on his eligibility BEFORE the primary. if he avoids it... then he already knows what they would say.
