I appreciate Cruz also. I appreciate the Constitution MORE.
What is "ill posed" about asking whether your estimate of the qualities of a candidate should override the requirement of being 35 years old?
It's a pretty simple question. Either you value the protections afforded by the Constitution to the point that you will support recognizing its prohibitions or you don't.
That's good. We probably agree more than we disagree on this.
As to your questions, I'm disinclined to sit in anyone's inquisitor's chair. I think I laid out my thoughts on this over several posts on this thread. That'll have to do.
