Cruz is our best chance against Trump right now... Do you really want Trump?
Do you really want Cruz? Not stumping for Trump, but Cruz is caustic as well. Too early to choose.Quote:

In a false dichotomy of the two, I would prefer Cruz. I think Cruz is a better leader, better politician, and consistently represents my values better than Trump. I think Cruz would represent America internationally far better than Trump.Quote:

You can play the semantics game if you want about what "natural born" means, but the way it has been interpreted by the federal government since the First Congress means Cruz is eligible.

Ensuring the elected official to the highest office in the US does not have any split allegiances is precisely why the "Natural Born Citizen" clause exists.
"Natural Born" and "Naturalized" are two different classes of US citizenship. They share all the same rights and privileges, EXCEPT for Presidential eligibility.
It is what it is, and that is a fact.
We may soon see what the court thinks:

Again, I wish Cruz was eligible. I think he'd make a good President or Vice President. But, I'm not willing to go down the road the Dems did in 2008 and ignore the Constitution in order to get him elected.
