The media and Dem Party operatives would let him knock his opponents out of the race and then descend on him like vultures. They would challenge his electoral votes with legal challenges in state after state. Just when he needed to go on the offensive they would have him back on his heels. They would make him answer the question that you won’t.

I believe the DNC is already salivating over this possibility!

Very astute observations...."Chip".

Since 2008, 207 lawsuits have been filed challenging Obama’s eligibility. Additionally there have been 92 state and federal appeals and 17 U.S. Supreme Court challenges. That’s a total of 317 legal actions against Obama’s Article Two, Section 1 natural born citizenship.
He’s still in office.
Obama used a “no drama” approach to eligibility. He rarely addressed the issue; he refused to go on the defensive about it and when he talked about it at all, he joked about it and ridiculed his opposition. And most importantly, he used the issue to motivate his base of supporters and to raise money.

If Ted Cruz decides to run he can use the issue in the same way.
