Cruz will renounce Canadian citizenship

are you ready for this?
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announced Monday evening that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship, less than 24 hours after a newspaper pointed out that the Canadian-born senator likely maintains dual citizenship.
“Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship,” Cruz said in a statement. “Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I’m an American by birth and as a U.S. senator; I believe I should be only an American.”
The Dallas Morning News wrote in a story posted late Sunday night that Cruz likely remains a Canadian citizen, by virtue of being born there to an American mother. Having never renounced that citizenship, Cruz was technically a Canadian and an American citizen, according to legal experts.
so if he had a chance at Canadian PM he'd shuck his American citizenship is that the kinda guy who can switch loyalty at the mention of position?  well we already know he's principleless but make such a move he knew would in his mind put it to sleep but right wing ploys seem to only cause trouble when they try to explain or cover up or reinvent.
