I don’t normally enter Cruz-birther debates anymore for one reason only —
Cruz supporters are so stubborn that they refuse to see reason and only support him that much more. Polarization. In other words, I surrendered to their foolishness.
But for you to be called a fool for stating the truth, wintertime? That’s just too much, especially when David Limbaugh essentially accuses Trump of having no moral compass. So the Perfect Storm summons me back to this issue.
Cruz eligibility has courts on his side which impresses no one with any common sense. When do courts care about the Constitution?
“If Cruz’s parents declared US citizenship for him in Canada, then he has a Canadian-issued document called a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.....the legal equivalent of a US Birth Certificate.” — liz
In no way can Cruz have a ‘natural born status’ according to original intent, and no amendment in the US Constitution ever adjusted that status. The ‘rights’ of a mother have nothing to do with a child’s eligibility to run.
Before David Limbaugh declared political ‘war’ against the party’s clear front runner, he should first chart out a plan in his mind — who should beat the front runner and how?
Should it be Cruz?
How? Through a floor fight at the convention. That’s been the obvious plan to anyone giving this campaign any thought. It will divide the party, so Cruz had better be one heck of a unifier.
The other question David L should have asked: “Is Cruz even eligible?”
The courts say ‘yes’ so far.
But is he eligible? Regardless of courts, how can a floor fight convention challenger unify the party if he has no natural born status?
In other words, I’m sorely disappointed in David Limbaugh. He’s a smart man, but of all the fools on this thread, he takes the cake!
