Another though to maybe keep in mind. Cruz's candidacy is a spark that can elevate the meaning and function of the NBC clause in the mind of the public. Killing his candidacy off on eligibility grounds has to be decisive, and is best done when the people are focused on that issue.

I think it is best to have Cruz in the race, and for him to strongly resist attempts to disqualify him, even by procedural arguments. Awakening the public is hard, maybe impossible, but for it to have a chance, the debate has to become hot in the minds of a sufficient fraction of the public.

[Just mythoughts]

Perhaps you are correct... I had not paid much attention to the man Cruz. It was the last debate performance that made me question his claim to fame, ‘original intent’ of our Constitution.

If Cruz wins the nomination the liberals are going to find a new love, ‘original intent’. If Hillry survives her legal troubles, she will go full throttle on Cruz. She after all birthed the birther movement against Obama.

I do not think the GOP are that dull, and would put their credibility on the line for Cruz.. I see them declaring themselves a new love of ‘original intent’. Then strip Cruz of his delegates. I cannot see how Beck is the key to overcoming Cruz's ‘natural born’ problem.
