That is not true

Then lets look at the exact text from the debate...

"I would note that the birther theories that Donald has been relying on - the more extreme ones insist that you must not only be born on U.S. soil, but have two parents born on U.S. soil."

Every word I said was true. Thank you.

I said this ---> "Cruz said that some of the more extreme birthers think that, not that he does."

So he created a class of birthers that doesn’t exist

Then you says "You can find halfwits who believe a lot of nonsensical, impossible things. What does that prove?"

Listen, I gave up on the Obama birther threads because there was people that believed all kinds of things and it wasn't worth my time to suddenly become a unpaid lawyer in the debate. Personally I would like both parents to be natural born on US soil, but that is not what is required. There is more requirement for a Congressman than for President. Cruz basically has a case like Obama had, without the mother age issue. Obama got a pass, Cruz should too. I believe my IQ is probable better than 80, but never have been tested (did score an 28 on my ACT college entrance test). Not too impressive since dad scored the highest in the state the year he took it.

You bleeding missed the entire point. How did you manage it? Not enough caffeine?

Take two:

‘Cruz said that some of the more extreme birthers think that, not that he does.’

The point is that what Cruz said is false. No birther, no matter how extreme, believes that only NBCs can produce a pNBC. And the simple reason they don’t believe it is that it’s an impossitble condition. The US is not an infinitely old country. Therefore, under Cruz’ strawman argument, there would be NOBODY qualified for the office of president. Nobody.

The point is not a hard one at all. It is that Cruz created a contrived and fictional class of birthers for the sole, boorish reason of dragging Trump’s mother into it. There can be no other explanation for what he did. That is the point.
