Thanks! This is what I’ve been suspecting but without enough info to pin it down like you just did. He is a convenient conservative, an opportunist. This explains the wierd votes, like voting for TPA and then the stupid excuse that McConnell lied to him or going to the border to give teddy bears to the little kids who were mysteriously making the journey across the border.
I saw an excerpt of an interview he did in 2012 in which he said a natural born citizen is 2 citizen parents and born on the soil. Now of course he’s changed his story to suit his ambition.
He’s smart but not so smart that some people can’t sense something is wrong. 2 and 2 weren’t making 4. Thanks so much for your post.
I think so, too, on the points you explained; TPA, the dang teddy bears with Beck, his own rather “living” definition of what constitutes natural born citizenship, depending on what is opportune in one case but not in his own case! This is exactly what Dershewitz was describing, isn’t it...
Some of Cruz’ baffling performances are getting exposed, since he either failed to explain wth he was doing at all, or else his explanations just did not hold water.
The thing is, TRUMP can elect to present all this high wire act, in ads, in living color, in Ted’s own words, saying it on LIVE video. We have all seen them.
libbylu insists that Cruz is “brilliant” for doing the same in ads against his opponents— using the opponent’s quotes and videos against them.
Wonder what it will be called in reverse, or if it will be touted as “brilliant” if and when TRUMP should use it, because he most certainly has it available for use, even now. Even in IOWA, actually.
Right now, TRUMP doesn’t need it. He is concern trolling Cruz. Have you seen him? TRUMP has thrown all this out there, let the media expose the details for him and at their expense, and then sits back.
When asked about it, TRUMP expresses “concern”! LOL! He says that Cruz is very nice to him and supports his opinions even in his (Cruz) own campaign, and then says he hopes Cruz gets all these citizenship problems taken care of. It’s hilarious, actually.
LOL!
PS. The difference in TRUMP and Cruz is that TRUMP when accused, admits it. He says, “GUILTY, AS CHARGED”, and then explains the strategy behind why he did this or that.
Cruz “swivels” (shifting) uncomfortably, reportedly, as in his Meagain Kelly interview, when asked about his dissing of “New York values”.
