I am going to drop this discussion. I do not see how it can be of any benefit to Conservatives or to the Nation to continue it.
Cruz is the best Leader we’ve seen since Sarah Palin, and he’s the only one that seems willing to put up a fight.
I can honestly say I don’t care whether or not he meets the original meaning of Article II, he is the only reasonable choice at this point, and the Democrats didn’t care about the rules anyway.
I still believe my argument is correct, and that given sufficient time I could convey the reasoning and evidence necessary to establish it, but as I said, it is contrary to our best interests and those of our nation, so I feel obligated to just drop it.
I would go further and suggest that we all solicit Jim Robinson to direct moderators to reject any future eligibility threads which focus on Ted Cruz. I see no way in which discussing the topic is beneficial to our movement or our goals.
I understand your reluctance to participate in Cruz eligibility threads. It’s a Damocles sword endeavor for those honestly struggling with his eligibility. FR’s the best place to discuss it and the worst place to discuss it.
The good in it is:
1. Getting at the facts and the best way to present them.
2. Honing our swords in case the democrats attack, IF Cruz decides to declare candidacy.
3. Identifying those who are trolls on the subject instead of searchers.
