I think that what is meant is that we have aired out this issue about all we can. Everyone knows the views on both sides. Cruz firmly believes he meets the qualifications for being a NBC. Trump would not have even raised this issue if Cruz hadn't started rising in the polls. He said as much in the last debate. That makes him a bit hypocritical cause he said only about 3 months ago that he had consulted top lawyers and he was completely satisfied that Cruz was an NBC. Guess he had to run to Lawrence Tribe (HUGEEEEEE Liberal) for another view.

The point is, we are not going to decide the question here. It will be decided in the courts. And here is a little prediction. The courts will find some way to blow this off. Courts in this country have been loathe to get involved in questions concerning the qualification of candidates, when there was views on both sides of the issue. With the exception of 2000 they have avoided making decisions that would change elections. Now, this one may be different, bout I doubt it. Why should we keep on beating a dead horse? Neither side will change the views of the other.

You have every right, until the moderator pulls your comments to bring up the issue. But others have every right to tell you to take it somewhere else.

“With the exception of 2000 they have avoided making decisions that would change elections”

If the USSC had refused to hear Bush v. Gore, as they should have, there is no possibility that Bush would not have been elected in a proper, constitutional way.

It cracks me up that there are “conservatives” who would concede the authority that the USSC claimed in that case, rather than simply following the constitution.

It is irrational to even spend time talking about a candidate who is foreign born, until they rise in the polls.

After all, As of January 13, 2016, a total of 1,491 candidates had filed a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.
