Why not? Canadian is a step up from Kenyan... At least he's from the same continent!
Next election - I want a Transylvanian option! Think of the awesome campaign ads!

I have to ask what has likely been asked before but this thread has many pages as do all the others: Is Cruz even eligible for the presidency? The guy was born in Canada!

I hope there is video proof that outs them, then the media will have no choice but report it, CNN has the option to scoop it, as she is working for them. But I don't think they will, they seem to be in full damage control mode now.

I'm just impressed that a Grandpa Munster lookalike can get a few attractive women like that.
ETA: I couldn't stomach seeing Cruz doing the nasty on video. The thought that they have the Hulkster on tape is bad enough.

Political devotees and insiders all seem convinced that Carly Fiorina is only running for vice president. Big-donor types say it. Consultants say it. Members of the media say it. Grassroots activists say it. Republicans of all stripes, and all kinds of people who cover them and opine on them, say it.
And they’re all wrong.
The widespread idea that Carly has set her sights on the VP slot is both irritating and eyebrow raising, especially when it’s voiced by women’s-advancement-oriented female devotees of the word “feminism.” It is true that I am an unapologetic Carly fan, who has worked with her and consulted for her in the context of prior campaigns. It is true that I do not approach this from an unbiased standpoint.
Behaviorally, when the facts are the ally of an individual, he or she almost always tends to focus on the facts of the matter at hand. In this case, if the key fact was that he had not had these affairs, Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial. That is, he very likely would have made a point of explicitly stating something along the lines of, “I did not have these affairs.” Yet at no point in either statement did Cruz say that. He implied it by saying the allegations are false, and that they’re lies, but behaviorally, such statements are not equivalent to saying he never had the affairs. Even if we were to overlook that fact and consider his statements to be a denial, there is an overwhelmingly higher proportion of attack behavior compared to the effort expended at denial. This type of lopsided attack-to-denial ratio is very consistent with what we have historically seen with deceptive people when allegations are levied against them. Given the lack of additional information upon which to conduct a more comprehensive behavioral analysis, this is nothing more than our initial opinion and assessment, and we will continue to follow this matter very closely. At the same time, we cannot help but conclude at this point that it’s not looking good for Sen. Cruz.
Cruz never seemed to take a step on any contentious issue without gaming it out 17 moves ahead

Wait a minute...it takes a lot of time to
prepare a lawsuit. We are three days into this scandal.
It's way, way too soon to declare this a litmus test and I am no fan of Ted Cruz.

Oh, I know...but he hasnt mentioned it either. I just mean that some time soon, he is going to have to deal with this straight on...because anything less and he might as well be guilty. Inaction is the most guilty looking thing he can do. I am even waiting for the long weekend and Christian holiday to end...but in this next week, his actions are going to speak volumes.
And just sayin' but I am totally over them blaming Trump. I hate that they are making me defend that guy. There is so much proof going back months that it was Rubio's little gem, and every time they blame Trump it gets him more votes. Hell, I might vote for him if they cry about him much longer. I feel dirty saying that.
