Yes, exactly that. He is a smart guy, and this is an easy case. The public is obviously and naturally confused (all those articles posing as accurate).
How do I know it? I don't for sure, but he's not stupid and this is a show stopper, he had to look it up, and the case law slam-dunk cuts against him. Of course he smile when he tells the big lie. It's key to the bluff.
I think he has a character flaw - and I would NEVER say that without a good basis. It's possible he's telling a white lie, with an end result that Obama's time in office is found improvidently taken - making Obama officially a usurper for all of history. If that's the case, I will gladly and without reservation retract my "character flaw" thought, and will turn a 180 and praise Cruz for risking disgrace on himself, to expose a larger one.

Wow- talk about a chess move- That would be a stunning intended result and kudos to him if he did this for that reason
I’m not sure I’m convinced he thinks He’ll lose though- but who knows- perhaps he does- Perhaps He’s even developed an argument to undo the SC creation of a third criteria for citizenship via naturalization which undid the common understanding of NBC previously-
