The day before last week's debate, Trump told us it was Democrats we needed to worry about when it came to Cruz's eligibility. Why, he had only raised the issue because he feared that his good friend Ted would have a cloud over him as nominee if he didn't seek a declaratory judgment about his "natural-born" status. That's just the kind of thoughtful pal he is. Three days later, after the punch-up at the debate, a New York Times reporter asked him whether he might sue Cruz himself. Response: "I'll think about it. It's not something that I would want to do. It's certainly something I would have standing to do." Twenty-four hours later, after Cruz spent a day on the trail in South Carolina savaging Trump as a fake conservative, Trump had moved a bit further. Here'd what he told Stephanopoulos yesterday on "This Week":
Stephanopoulos told Trump that some legal scholars have suggested Trump himself would have standing to sue Cruz.
"Oh, that's an interesting case. Wow, that sounds like a very good case. I'd do the public a big favor," Trump responded, but he would not say whether he'd actually file such a suit. "It's a good idea - maybe I'll talk to them about it. I'd like to talk to Ted about it, see how he'd feel about it. 'Cause you know, when I file suits, I file real suits."

Trump can use that Clinton lawyer who sued Obama.
Stephanopoulos can hook 'em up.

I was all right with Trump before he called Ted a maniac. Ted is nasty? Trump skewers people’s personalities like he is preparing a kabob.

Lose as in fail to get Cruz off the ballot, or lose as in winning the primary nomination because the issue hangs over Cruz’s head and he stays in denial?

Trump sued a guy for miscalculating his, Trump’s, net worth by calling him a millionaire. The case was dropped in the end, but seriously? This doesn’t shock me in the slightest. Trump is sue-happy.

Luckily for Obama, Trump didn’t have any qualms with him when eligibility was an issue.

Trump increasingly remi Ds me of J R Ewing. Zero principles, only a desire to win at all costs.
