Can Ted Cruz run for president? McCain has questions
Cruz, I am convinced, would make a truly bad president, but he is perfectly eligible to serve. Their views on foreign policy are nearly exactly the same, their views on immigration are the same.
“You miss a lot of moments” Cruz said, expressing remorse at being away from his daughters.
“Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: ‘Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?’ That’d be a big problem”, Trump told the Washington Post.

McCain has relished taking occasional shots at Cruz. Ted Cruz a “wacko bird”.
Questions over the eligibility of presidential hopefuls George Romney and John McCain, born in Mexico and the Panama Canal Zone, respectively, fizzled and never led to court rulings.
He said the issue falls into the category of political questions that courts prefer to let Congress and the president answer.
