I don’t doubt Cruz’s Constitutional knowledge or commitment. But his loyalty ends as I see him being purposefully obtuse to his status as a NBC. He knows he’s not eligible and uses the current controversy as a shield. I am sad that he is not eligible, but someone who truly believes in the Constitution and it’s original meaning, and claims to not see it as some mushy ‘living’ document would be honest about it. This is the single most compelling reason, for me, to not vote for him. I support him in the Senate and believe he belongs on the Supreme Court, but he can’t be POTUS.
Rubio is no more eligible than Cruz. The current POTUS was not eligible either, regardless of his birth certificate controversy, his father was not a citizen.
Whether you like him or not Trump is a NBC. End of story.
Can Cruz really be a good SCOTUS candidate if he’s willing to lie about the Constitution in this instance?
