[Just mythoughts]

We need to get a conservative to balance the old white guy Trump, who would have been a lock if he ran as a democrat, the progressive he is. Alan West, Susan Martinez, Ted Cruz.

West, just ok, Martinez, showed up late if at all, Cruz is more progressive than the self identified progressives. Cruz is not nor will he ever be a 'natural born' US citizen... Cruz is NOT eligible to hold the office of president. But I suspect the 'original intent' is NOT a necessity in your world view.

Cruz is not nor will he ever be a 'natural born' US citizen

How does the constitution define a "Natural Born Citizen?"
