Cruz is eligible to be President, it's time people came to terms with that fact. Luckily none of this will matter considering Cruz is very unlikely to ever be President.
Years ago they said another unlikely contender could never make it to the Oval Office.
But Reagan did okay, I think.

Reagan was a compelling, inspiring, and wonderful speaker. Cruz's speeches do not come across that way to me.
You know how my stereotyping of Liberals is eerily accurate? Well, I certainly can't prove it but I was proclaiming this observation months before Savage's book came out, "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions". and I have always felt a sense of self congratulation whenever I see the cover or the title.
Anyway, just as I say Liberals are a certain way, I want you to know that Conservatives also have our own sort of identifiable traits and characteristics and tendencies.
One of those traits is actually a deficiency.
Conservatives are generally deficient in showmanship and flair. Style and FLASH!
Conservatives aren't usually good entertainers or actors. The few who can do it worth a damn are usually assured a job in Hollywood if they look half way decent and are strighter, truer and more adult than most others a Conservative can enjoy employment in film or tv I'd guess, because they are in such, relatively, short supply.
Look at Sen. Fred Thompson. He was Jack Ryan's boss in a film or two. He pushed Clint Eastwood's character around in one film. Not that great an actor as much as he was believably Conservative on screen.
That, he was and still is.
Well, I have long believed Mitt Romney lost to Barack Obama because Mitt Romney wasn't as good a liar.
In fact, I don't know that he lied at all in his campaign.
And as much as I wish he'd have won, I agree he is better off without compromising his values, once again, to play the politics "game." He didn't have to sink to the Obama level to run a decent campaign.
Anyway, I have already set the record straight (in another recent thread) about the many bullshit myths which still rest in the minds of too many Romney bashers. And unless it becomes necessary to pull out that explanation I won't.
Let's just say that the 2012 election has at least one more lesson for Americans and our political campaigners for the highest office.
Did we finally learn our lesson about NOT voting for the best looking or the best voice or the best hair as a basis for hiring the next person to do this country's work from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?
Or will we tend to ignore the lesson of 2012 which we will be paying a price for for the foreseeable future? Just as we are paying for LBJ's Great Society even 50 years after it was enacted?
You say Ted Cruz doesn't move you the way Reagan moved you. I suggest maybe we need to FEEL LESS and THINK MORE about our next choice of POTUS.
Cruz may be short on FLASH!
But that means he's probably less adept at lying.
And if you don't know it, that's a GOOD THING!
Unless you'd prefer someone who can look us square in the eye and CONVINCINGLY lie to us?
We really do get the government we deserve.
Do whatever you can and convince yourself you deserve more of a POSITIVE change than you've been getting from your presidents.
Cruz.
