Silly, silly thread.
Cruz will never be a serious candidate for the White House. I live in one of the reddest precincts in one of the reddest states, and even here no one takes him seriously.
That said, I hope the Cruz-heads continue to push him, it's entertaining to watch how far some people take him seriously. In my own political dream world, he'd win the presidential nomination, because he'd go down in flames no matter whom his opponent.

So you have surveyed everyone in your precinct and can aver that "no one" takes him seriously? You must live in the best informed precinct in America, because most people I talk to have never heard of him, or if they have, know little about him.
A prediction is not really a cogent argument. Anyone can make a prediction about any thing. Many predicted that Reagan would never become president. He was too far right. He was an ultraconservative. People ridiculed the idea that Obama would become president. A guy barely removed from the Illinois state Senate whose name rhymed with 'Osama?' No way!
He is qualified and that has ben beaten to death like Obama being Born in Kenya (Covered up well too).
Liberals can not debate Cruz because he always returns back to the facts. This will be a full personal assault, not a debate on Cruzes positions.
It sad the left has only that to counter a good Candidate and a faithful public servant.
Well I could not help myself and I new you could not resist on chimming in since this is your mantra to Protect this President.
See, this is what I love the most about birthers. Nothing will ever cause them to deviate from their mania. Six years, countless embarrassments and humiliations and ridicule in the media and the courts and the comedy clubs and late night television, and still they soldier on in their mania.
You've got to admire the tenacity of the truly absurd. And nobody does absurdity better than birthers. In that, you guys are second to none.
You should know better... politics is a full contact sport and both sides would eat their own to get to the top.
agreed. but the question in the OP is if the democrats will go "full-birther" on cruz and so far that hasn't happened in any kind of significant numbers. it's been nearly exclusively republicans and the tea party that insist he's ineligible.

unlikely.
one big factor that separates the cruz birthers from obama birthers is there is a legitimate legal question about cruz's eligibility that has yet to be addressed by the court ( obama's was addressed in ankeny v daniels ). if cruz runs i expect there to be a legal challenge early in the primaries, most likely from one of the existing obama "de vattel" birthers ( my money is on larry klayman to be the attorney ). i do believe that such a case does have a good chance of being heard by the SCOTUS ( and i hope it does ). from all i've read on the topic i'd expect the court to define "natural born citizen" as simply meaning a citizen at birth, not a naturalized citizen ( regardless if they have multiple citizenships at birth ). cruz would qualify. if this does transpire i doubt you'd hear another peep from mainstream democrats or republicans over cruz's eligibility ( unsure about the tea party ).
