He knows he is not eligible and is running anyway and he refuses to release the documents
would have been needed to confirm his citizenship as a U.S. citizen.

What documents would that be? Cruz had citizenship via his mom but natural born is the hang
up as I see it. Now we know papa Cruz was a Cuban and didn’t get US citizenship until 2005.
Seems it wasn’t an important item for him.
The GOPe is using Cruz. They don't want him as a candidate. He is a mere tool.
The same documents that every other U.S. citizen born abroad has with in the same birth year as Cruz . Where are they? Oh yeah! Hidden!
Consular Report of Birth Abroad. This only establishes citizenship, not natural born citizenship. Without one technically Ted is not even a citizen of the USA.
A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.
