“...Ted’s father,...”

So....he’s ineligible because of the sins of his father?? A guy who, for all intents and purposes has been an exemplary American for almost all of his life?

C’mon... A LOT of people believed in Castro before they realized he was communist piece of sh*t.

Cruz’s father’s only “sin” was fighting for freedom in Cuba.

He was old enough that his fight began at a young age against the dictator Bautista. He went to prison and was beaten and suffered much. He came to America to find a free land, opportunity, worked as a dishwasher in Austin, TX for 50 cents/hr 7 days/week. Put himself through UT, started his own business. Eventually became a church pastor. He is a great, inspirational speaker and he’s Ted’s hero.

Rafael Cruz despises Communists and Communism. He will fight tyranny whether Bautista’s kind or Castro’s kind, ‘til his last breath.

Somebody, anybody, tell me what his “sins” were, again??

Almost all his life? He was born in 1939 and did not become a U.S. Citizen until 2005. That's less than 11% of his life!

If he was such an "exemplary American", then why did he move to Canada and become a Canadian citizen? He's only been a U.S. citizen for a few years.
