Ted Cruz is a "natural born citizen." No matter what Donald Trump's misguided minions may say to the contrary.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas meets the criteria for a "natural born citizen" and can run in New Jersey's Republican presidential primary on June 7, an administrative law Judge ruled Tuesday.
Would you believe the Trumpanzees tried to convince the judge otherwise?
Would you believe they're still not giving up?
Hey, nobody ever accused Trump's supporters of being rocket scientists.
Judge Jeff Masin's decision now heads to the desk of Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who in her capacity as secretary of state can choose to accept the opinion in full or in part, or reject it.
Victor Williams, one of the two challengers who questioned Cruz's eligibility to run in the New Jersey primary, said he had "full confidence that Kim Guadagno will do the right thing and reject Mr. Cruz's falsified ballot petition and certificate." If she fails to do so, Williams said he would appeal.
Mr. Williams also undoubtedly has "full confidence" that the moon is made of green cheese.
A similar challenge was rejected by the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court late last month.
And Trump's birther bozos lost in Illinois and New York too.
But don't count on sanity permeating the Trump cult. One of their biggest Internet cheerleaders, Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit, posted this headline after today's defeat: New Jersey Judge Rules Former Canadian Ted Cruz Can Appear on State Ballot.
Dude, the whole point of Judge Masin's ruling is that Ted Cruz is not a Canadian, former or otherwise. Try to keep up, OK?
These clowns are doing one potentially useful public service though. By repeatedly pushing this birther foolishness now they're taking the issue away from Hillary and the Democrats. By the time the nominations are sewed up all these frivolous lawsuits will have played themselves out, which means she can't relitigate them in the fall.
Do I think the Trump slappies are smart enough to have thought of that?
Nah. But it's fun to watch them spin their wheels and stomp their feet. The comments over at Hoft's site are, uh, bizarre, to say the least. Upping their medication is probably in order.
And if nothing else, their hysteria reminded me to send Ted a few more bucks.
Which ought to make them even more mad. Oops.
