It is all political.
Trump doesn’t believe Cruz is not eligible, 88% of the population doesn’t believe it, either, from the only poll I’ve seen on the subject.
The other 12% could be supporting anyone, so let’s say those 12% aren’t Trump supporters already, he could get a 1 to 3 percent bump, which could put him in the lead in a close state like Iowa.
We shall see next week.
Full disclosure, i support Cruz.
Why would anyone believe differently if Cruz says it. Of course, Cruz being the smartest guy in the room, argued as a strict Constitutionalist in college, an “originalist view” of the Constitution, which would strictly and originally embrace the two citizen-parents requirement.
UNTIL, it affected himself.
Ted only 18 months ago renounced his Canadian citizenship, from Canada, where he was born and raised as a Canadian citizen for two years, with a Cuban born father and an American mother, both whom had Canadian citizenship in order to be eligible to vote.
