Trump threatens to sue Cruz for 'not being a natural born citizen'

Donald Trump on Friday threatened to sue Ted Cruz for "not being a natural born citizen" if the Texas senator "doesn't clean up his act" and stop running negative ads against him.

"If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen," he tweeted.

If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.

-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2016

Trump has previously argued that if Cruz won the Republican nomination, Democrats would argue that the Canada-born Texas senator was ineligible for the presidency. Last month, Trump asked a rally if he should sue Cruz "just for fun" over the issue.

Once Trump beats Cruz, the case is moot. That is why you never see these things decided. The legal system is a slow moving train.

I'm also hopeful that Cruz makes it.

I also would welcome trump FINALLY FOLLOWING THROUGH on something.

Otherwise, he's just a YUUUUGE PUSSY... ...cat with a lip problem.

I refuse to vote for a guy born in another country. Yes I did McCain but that was a very different situation. He was born in Panama and his father was military. Cruz’s parents were just up in Canada hanging out. Forget it. Soon they will want us to vote for a person born in Iran. No President in history has been born outside the United States and I refuse to allow it now.

[As a Cruz supporter, I say let’s get on with the lawsuit already so that this can be settled once and for all.]

Amen. Bring it.

-- If forced to make a decision they will find for the new definition of simply being born a citizen to cover themselves and Obama. --

That decision would have ramifications in thousands of deportation cases, not just presidential eligibility.

That “issue” is more important to you than supreme court judges, NSA spying, national security, taxes, the economy? Silliness.

“Trump is a clown.”

And Cruz like boys who play with dolls. That is gross. I’ll take Trump anyway then a guy who is trying to push gender roles as unisex. Disgusting.

If Cruz is taking votes away from him and Cruz is not eligible, then Trump has suffered harm.

It is way more important to me then all those issues you mentioned. I don’t want a foreign born President. Why you do is beyond me.

“Cruz’s parents were just up in Canada hanging out.”

They weren’t just “hanging out” in Canada. You aren’t very smart, are you.

If Trump truly believes that Cruz is unqualified and does NOT sue, then he is not worthy of the position he seeks!

Actually, it’s Cruz the weasel, who should get the declaration started.

No, there have already been legal challenges to Cruz's eligibility to be on the primary ballot. Challenges have been filed in NH, FL, IL, VT, MD, and TX. IL has been resolved and so has NH.

The New Hampshire ballot commission today rejected efforts to kick Canada-born Sen. Ted Cruz off the primary ballot based on his birth outside the United States.

That clears a key legal and political obstacle as the Texas Republican seeks the GOP nomination for president. But it’s not a clear win on the question of eligibility.

Rather, the panel found that with the law of eligibility so murky, it can’t second-guess the senator’s own claims that he passes constitutional muster. Neither the U.S. Supreme Court nor any other authority has explicitly ruled that someone like Cruz — born on foreign soil, with one American parent – can or cannot be president.

“It would be really nice if somebody would get this issue of law decided who has authority to decide constitutional issues, so every four years we don’t have this come up again,” said Manchester attorney Brad Cook, a Republican who chairs the 5-member New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission. Three people challenged Cruz’s eligibility after Secretary of State William Gardner accepted Cruz’s application for a spot on the Feb. 9 GOP primary ballot.

Oh Lord. Lady Gaga is fine. Cruz approving little boys playing with dolls is not fine. The fact that you support combining gender roles is sad to me. You are probably too far lost into the land of looney to recognize the danger of Cruz on America.

Problem is you are smarter than Cruz, you should write for him! Or run for POTUS yourself.

You are so pathetic. So I guess you never had "action figures" like GI Joe when you were little? What are those other than "dolls" for boys? You will sink to any depths of dishonesty to attack Cruz, I'll give you that. The fact that it completely robs you of any credibility doesn't seem to faze you at all.
