Why is the world would we want to nominate someone with this hanging over their head? I know all the arguments, but it is the major reason I cannot support Cruz. We need to win this election, we need someone electable. Ted is not.
I don’t know if he is or isn’t eligible, but I absolutely guarantee you that the DNC will find a federal judge who agrees it’s a good question and deserves to be determined in a courtroom the day after Cruz would become the nominee. And once they do, chaos will ensue.
Look at Hillary.
Insane.
Regardless of any ruling, anybody who thinks Democrats won’t be using Teds Canadian birthplace in the General has poutine for brains
Ted is both eligible and electable. The arguments against his natural born citizen status are generally well-intended attempts to defend the Constitution, but they are rooted in misunderstanding. If people wouldn’t go all wobbly at the thought of having to fight and win on this, it would be no detraction to him at all. On the merits, he has a great case.

Until Trump gets the nomination, we need a seeming viable second who also happens to be the most conservative of the bunch - makes no sense to write him off at this stage even if his battle seems uphill.
