Cruz eligible? - Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. This is a revolution as far as I am concerned. You don't have a Constitution anymore so why let the establishment who is holding it hostage use it to stop you from reinstating it. You think you still have a Constitution? Your president defies it, your judges defy and redefine it, government bureaucrats have been given power to bypass it, in practice it does not exist. Given the option, I would take a foreign Constitutionalist in the mold of the Founders over almost everyone one of the candidates running on either side if given the option. We are at the point we are done as a nation unless somehow we start over -- not try to fix it, unless we basically start over with what we were given in the beginning we are finished. A pragmatist will not save you. At this point only principles and values offer any hope. I don't care where the values and principles and morals come from if they are good; and I don't care who has them. I will stick with invisible virtues wherever they be found. If they are not embraced by Americans in power, I will support a foreigner who has them. Maybe we (the states) need to call for a convention and suspend the the Feds power and their interpretation of Constitution to save the Constitution from them. In effect, the document is all but dead anyway so why should we let evil men use it keep us in bondage? Think hard about this: "The question you propose, whether circumstances do not sometimes occur, which make it a duty in officers of high trust, to assume authorities beyond the law, is easy of solution in principle, but sometimes embarrassing in practice. A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self -preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.. . . " - Thomas Jefferson to John B. Colvin, 20 Sept. 1810 Works 11:146 yeah, so frankly my dear. . .

Well said.
I have said I will vote for him.
He is just as eligible the man who is now in office.
Everyone in DC knew he wasn’t eligible.
They swore him in anyway.
