I was watching Cruz on Greta late last week and he said that he would attempt the amendment process through Congress to eliminate birthright citizenship.

Whereas Trump said that the 14th Amendment AS WRITTEN does not allow for the institution of “birthright” citizenship. That the law needs to actually be followed in the manner that it was written to be.

FWIW, Mark Levin is also in line with Trump re: 14th Amendment.

Of course he would. All he knows how to do is talk and debate. If he thinks he can get a constitutional amendment passed, let alone introduced he's a bigger fool than he looks.

And yet Cruz is trotted out as the most brilliant constitutional lawyer that's ever passed a bar in the last century.

Heidi, his wife, is more qualified to be president than Ted.

That’s a good and important catch. What it basically means is that Cruz doesn’t actually believe birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. He bases his opposition directly against the constitution (which allegedly supports birthright) and promises to change it-— but look how meaningless that is!

Cruz’s position is basically the same as his “compromise” on illegals = we gain nothing from it only more hurt and a slower death.

I admire Cruz's brilliance. I could easily vote for him.

However, it does bother me that he doesn't have the "will" to simply state what Levin has stated.

In the last week it's obvious that Trump listened to Levin's brilliant expose on birth right citizenship.

For as smart as he is, it is a very disturbing that Cruz doesn't passionately and boldly state a strong position on birth right citizenship and the border wall. This one aspect has caused me to shift my support from Cruz to Trump.

If we don't build the wall and end birth right citizenship our Republic will be destroyed.
