“You actually thought that my response to a post about eligibility, and my query about my daughters was somehow about Ted Cruz?”
I did. Did I misread your post? If so, my apologies. It would still be good of you to answer my question, so we don’t keep going round and round.
“I was a Trump supporter from the get go. Were you?”
I actually started out as a Cruz guy, but just as his stock was falling with me, Trump’s stock was rising. The lines on the graph crossed around the end of July, last year, and I’ve been on the Trump train ever since.
No, I don’t think he’s eligible, based on my opinion and limited knowledge of case law surrounding the penumbra (big word I don’t always get to use :) ) of circumstances like his. For me, it hinges on his mother. Although she, by law, did not have to renounce her citizenship in Canada, did she voluntarily give up her allegiance to the US until such time that it became expedient for her to reclaim her heritage as an American? If so, then she has certainly abrogated her special status as an American citizen, at least in my eyes, although perhaps not in the eyes of the court.
I, too, have admired Cruz ever since he defeated the RINO candidate in Texas’ senatorial contest four years ago. His stock has certainly diminished for me.
