(sorry I’m late)
Good grief. I *hadn’t* read all the way to the end. OOF This looks like it could get *real* ugly.
Here are 2 more links that may illuminate this article (thinking pre-emptively here)
This organization, which is the source of the timeline regarding the Cruzes, also sent a letter to Ted Cruz; asking that he reject running for president and call for the immediate resignation of 0bama because he shares the same circumstances.
Note the date: December 18, 2013
Instead, Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship A YEAR LATER.

and
There are those who will try to claim that Donald Trump only raised this issue because Cruz is ahead of him in the pre-caucus Iowa polls. Consider this:
On March 23, 2015- THREE MONTHS BEFORE TRUMP ANNOUNCED HIS RUN FOR PRESIDENT, NY Daily News published this article
Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz’s Canadian birth a ‘hurdle’ as presidential candidate
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/cruz-face-birther-questions-obama-article-1.2159586
Obama claimed citizenship by birth in the US to a US citizen mother, so their circumstances are profoundly different. One in the US, one abroad. That's a crucial difference. It changes the outcome of the analysis.
At any rate, I can understand Cruz not being spooked into showing his CA BC in reaction to the 2013 letter.
