“I think Trump and Cruz would make an incredible team, given each of their strengths.”
Very true. But it’s a moot point unless Cruz absolutely, positively gets his eligibility cleared up ASAP. Even if the appropriate people would certify his eligibility, if he were on a ticket the Dems would fight it tooth and nail taking it to higher levels. The time and effort spent in courthouse brawls would paralyze Trump’s presidency starting Day One. Even if Trump wanted him, he won’t put up with that inefficiency and nonsense.

I agree wholeheartedly. As it is, according to a Freeper post, the libs already have lawsuits filed in three states (I only heard of one). But, as I have said before in another thread, a legal clarification would make it easier to bat down the Dems. I even pulled a quote from a
Fox News article entitled "Judge Nap: Cruz's American Citizenship Is Settled and Established" for support:
[Judge] Napolitano said Cruz could benefit from getting this cleared up now, rather than later. But he noted that Trump is correct that the Supreme Court has never reviewed the law "because the issue has never come up."
In fact, when Trump brought up the issue in the first place, it sounded more like sound advice to me than mud-slinging. But it has unfortunately escalated since. :/ But I'm still hopeful! :)
