How "Tea Party" is Cruz? Is he a true believer like DeMint? Or someone who'll probably try to calibrate his message to serve ambitions for higher office, a la Rubio? Is Cruz the type of candidate who could be the "diversity" pick on the VP shortlist for the 2016 GOP presidential nominee, a la Rubio in 2012? Or is it too early to tell?
He can't be on the ticket unless we do some tweaking with the Constitution: he was born in Canada.
But wasn't he born to an American citizen mother? If he becomes popular enough, I suspect that the GOP will go by the birthright citizenship interpretation.
Yeah, his mother was a U.S. citizen, so he should be fine as far as birthright citizenship goes.
