All objective legal scholars, including Mark Levin, know Ted is eligible and the Dems AND DONALD TRUMP are only trying to raise doubts to hurt Cruz.
Friday, Rush Limbaugh said Cruz was handling the nonissue brilliantly —meaning treating the whole affair with the slightly amused derision it deserves.. Knowing if he responded to absurd accusations there would be no end to it.
People like Rush and Levin like Trump but when he attacks from the Left, like a scurrilous liberal, they are not pleased.
Let Trump and his allies on the Left take it to court, Ted would be a fool to spend one second putting on tin foil hats and watching for black helicopters with them.

Sorry, but it is not settled law. The issue has never been litigated. If it is settled, why did the Senate feel it necessary to issue a non-binding resolution on McCain's eligibility? Why was there controversy over Chester A. Arthur's ineligibly over 100 years ago? Why the controversy over Obama?

Laurence Tribe says it is not settled law. We need a decision sooner rather than later. Do you believe that anchor babies are eligible to be President? The children of tourists who give birth in the US? Right now this seems to be the consensus. Jus solis is defined as natural born citizen by most of the constitutional scholars.

Let Trump and his allies on the Left take it to court, Ted would be a fool to spend one second putting on tin foil hats and watching for black helicopters with them.

The issue won't go away. And there is a lot of digging going on about Cruz's background. A sample:

Ted Cruz and the Question of 'Natural Born' Citizenship

I certainly learned something in this article. I did not know that Cruz's father was married before and had two children or that he became a Canadian citizen spending 8 years in Canada. I didn't know that Cruz's mother was married previously.

Regardless of what Trump does, the MSM will give Cruz a thorough vetting unlike they did with Obama. It is part of their strategy to play whack-a-mole with all the Rep candidates.
