Of course his birth certificate is Canadian. What you should want to see is his Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a United States Citizen. ---

> [@WPA-Guy](#): > > 1. Sarcastic/tongue in cheek And, since you’ve broken kayfabe: very, very obviously so. Even if someone missed the actor shit in your first post, it was crystal clear in the second. I only hope that the people giving you realistic grief were just playing along to make it better. ---

Not for nothin’ but the whole citizenship argument is a desperate, grasping at straws argument. There are plenty of legitimate areas to focus on with respect to Cruz and his ability to govern a country. It is unnecessary and just makes one look petty. ---

> [@drm](#): > > Not for nothin’ but the whole citizenship argument is a desperate, grasping at straws argument. There are plenty of legitimate areas to focus on with respect to Cruz and his ability to govern a country. Yes, but it is painful to dwell on his real-life inadequacies. Citizenship stuff and fake wives are fun, at least for some people. More fun is seeing Cruz upstaged by a bigger and more clever blowhard (Trump). There Ted was, all ready to scoop up the Angry Far-Right Voters and breeze to the nomination, and Trump stole them away. :(😃 ---
