Yes, he could be disqualified.

But keep in mind that would only happen after he’s won the election, in the Electoral College. The House could either declare the EC vote invalid, or the Supreme Court could. The latter being a realistic possibility.

But even if that happens Constitutional mechanisms kick in. It does NOT mean that the Democrat gets inaugurated. It means that the House, voting by majority of state delegations, chooses the President. The GOP controls a majority of House delegations, so you’d still have a Republican as President.

But would you have a Conservative?

He can be disqualified in a number of ways. One just by the vote, without deciding the issue. Another by the RNC, which is entitled to form its own conclusions. Yet another by some secretary of state or judge denying him ballot access. And then there is the electoral college and Congress, should he win the general election.

Everything in your post is correct. Democrat control of the House in 2009 was the issue with O's patent, indeed fraudulent non-qualification. Hillary, deemed the greater threat to national security would have been the natural result.

But would you have a Conservative?

Probably not, but at present the American voter largely appears willing to settle for a middle of the roader rather to continue with the hollow promises of an ineffective policial party. Perhaps the greatest danger is we could end up with a GOPe operative.

The only value would seem to be that the nation would settle the NBC issue and hand the one-worlders a defeat.

Is Cruz so important to the future of the Republic that we are willing to endure the nightmare such as you describe?

He should bow out gracefully and help Trump in the Senate.

Ted is cut from the same unqualified cloth as Buckwheat..this charade would be laughable, if it wasn’t so pathetic.
