What is best for this country, and the survival of our constitution is to NOT elect Ted Cruz and further destroy the meaning of it.

And by electing Ted, you legitimize Obama.

Exactly. And have you noticed that the MSM welcomes a Cruz run and have for a while. I wrote this in the Summer of 2013 in an The problem with now allowing a GOP ineligible candidate is that AII S1 C5 is forever gone. Notice without even hinting he was running the libs marched out to declare Cruz eligible. They don't care if he is running or not they just want to legitimize Obama's presidency.
The only hope we have in preserving the Constitution is to have a successful challenge to the term of art "natural born Citizen" while Obama is still in office. I wrote this in the summer of 2013 in this NBC thread:

Even today the MSM is in line with him being qualified. If not for Trump we would not be discussing this. In my heart of hearts I want the gavel to declare Zippo to not be a NBC, I am sure we will ever see that. But what really concerns me is that who else now "gets in" in the future as POTUS? Would Cruz be a good president? Yup. But remember Obama "got in."

With all due respect, I think you are wrong on both counts.

If the rule is statutory citizenship at birth, Cruz is eligible and Barry is not.

Barry was also born in Canada. If his mother was Stanley Ann Dunham as advocated in "Dreams", she was born in November of 1942 and thus could not have met the five years after age 14 test in August of 1961 when he was born. If his mother was a Lebanese National, also a citizen of Great Britain who never had any possible theory of US Citizenship, he would have no argument.

The statutory modifications that might have saved him were effective only prospectively or were made long after his birth.
