If it has taken you five years and a journey through eighteenth century Swiss philosophy to develop your choice/preference for a narrow "two citizen parents and born in the United States" definition for NBC, then you should expect that it may take you some time to shed the old choice/preference and to exchange that choice/preference for a somewhat broader "citizen at birth" definition for NBC. As Obama's eligibility becomes less relevant and Cruz's eligibility becomes more relevant, you may find that process to be inevitable.

I have spent enough time studying the NBC clause to know that the clause and the history surrounding it is sufficiently uncertain that it lends itself to more than one reasonable interpretation. So, don't be surprised to find that you will tend to choose one precise definition rather than another depending upon the candidate at issue and your feelings about that candidate. That's how you got to where you're at and that's how you can expect your future course to be determined.

So, be patient with yourself. Obama's not running again. ;-)
