“I generally agree with Laura but not on this.”
While Lyin’ Ted’s eligibilty is certainly an open question at present, the greater issue is that by his vicious, unwarranted, sophomoric attacks on Trump, he’s so “poisoned the well,” that I’d be very surprised if there could be any detente. Furthermore, there’s the issue of giving Lyin’ Ted an entree to the Presidency in the future (from a VP slot). Personally, I’d be very nervous, given Lyin’ Ted’s proclivities for World Government, that I’d nix any attempt to give him a seat on the SCOTUS either. And lastlly, there’s the issue of ongoing trust. GHWB “submarined” Ronald Reagan, we can’t have Lyin’ Ted doing the same thing to Trump.
You said it in more detail than I. Good points all.
