Trump said a long time ago that it wasn’t an issue and that Ted Cruz was a citizen eligible for president.
If Ted Cruz had a ‘poor showing in the polls’ Trump wouldn’t have gone after him.
Trump is an egoist and cannot stand others gaining on him. Look back at what he did to Ben Carson when Ben was doing well in the polls.

There is a very interesting article in the Boston Law Review (2005), entitled:
NATURAL BORN IN THE USA: THE
STRIKING UNFAIRNESS AND DANGEROUS
AMBIGUITY OF THE CONSTITUTIONS PRESIDENTIAL
QUALIFICATIONS CLAUSE AND
WHY WE NEED TO FIX IT
Basically it argues in favor of changing the NBC clause. While Im not in total agreement with all the conclusions it makes, it does offer strong arguments as to why this issue needs to be addressed.

PS dont lump all questioners together with all birthers were not the same
The US Senate will be a terrible place without people like Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, etc.
