Trump attacks on Cruz and vice versa are counter productive. Trump so grabs the middle that he really has no threat from Cruz. Most of the base would love to see Trump squash the GOPee.

The Democrats won't be so nice. They will see this as the green light:

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States,

shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that

the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States."

There could be doubt about whether Ted Cruz's father was considered a resident in the legal definition. The Democrats will get the courts to decide Cruz's status.

This “is he or isn’t he an American citizen eligible to run for POTUS” question needs to be put to rest. I have an opinion as to his eligibility, as most do, but we all know our personal opinions won’t change anything, and it will take a court to make the final decision if Cruz is eligible and better now than later because if Cruz is the nominee the Dems will sue for a court decision, and any of the Republican nominees would have standing to sue also. And what would happen in the interim? Would we be stuck with Obummer until a decision was reached (which could drag on for years)? And although I think Cruz would make a phenomenal President, it would leave the door open for some man/woman in a similar situation to run for President that may not have America’s best welfare at heart. Be warned.
