If Cruz shows integrity in how he handles this his stature will only increase. He could become a fine Supreme Court justice, or continue as an outstanding Senator. If he tries to claim that a naturalized citizen is a “natural born citizen” then he’s wholly unfit for any office.
Cruz can use the situation to open the door to discussing eligibility in general and Obama in particular. He is uniquely positioned at this crucial moment in history. What comes out of that forge remains to be seen. He could be a towering figure in US history. He could be slag. History will pivot on how will he handles this test.
So you prefer candidates like Obama and Hillary to Ted Cruz?
