As far as the dual citizenship I never gave it much thought, I know my children never thought about it, which Cruz also did, until he realized it might become an issue.

Then by my experience your kids are unusual or maybe it is a generational thing. My acquaintances all seemed very aware and quite happy about having dual citizenship with Canada. Many said if they were drafted they would go to Canada with no fear of not being accepted there or being able to get a job. But there are other advantages as well. If you buy a home in Canada as a US citizen my understanding is the Canadian government will withhold 50% of the sales price if you decide to sell it to cover the exorbitant taxes that they charge to foreign investors.

In my opinion Senator Cruz has the best conservative credentials of all the candidates. But this problem is only going to get worse in my opinion the longer he lets it linger. It is going to drag on his campaign not so much because of the actual legal points but because of the perception that it could disqualify him down the road. Many people are not going to want to risk their vote on someone who could have it all stolen from him sometime before the general election or even after the general election.

Maybe it’s because it’s Germany as opposed to next door for your kids.

Well, since Cruz can’t sue himself, how do you suggest he get this resolved? The only people who might have standing are other candidates. I guess if some SOS rejected him from being on the ballot that might help, but that is unlikely.

So I consider this approach the same as ‘When did you stop beating your wife Sen Cruz?’ by his opponents
