The fact that Trump threatens to file the suit only IF Cruz doesn’t pull his ads tells you everything you need to know about Trump. If he REALLY thought Cruz wasn’t eligible, he’d file no matter what the circumstances, obviously.

This is using the threat of a frivolous lawsuit as a weapon. I thought conservatives OPPOSED frivolous lawsuits.

It’s not defamation if he’s repeating what Trump already said on National television and to point out actual donations that Trump has given. So I agree, it is laughable.

Trump reminds me of Paul Lazzaro, a character from Slaughterhouse-5. Funny stuff.

Total head fake by Trump. He would NEVER follow through on such a suit. Take it for what it’s worth. After Saturday this is a non-issue for Trump.

Dons lawsuits seems more like buying Lottery ticket, the more you buy the greater you chances......File frivolous lawsuits all over the country, he may get lucky on some.

“After Saturday this is a non-issue for Trump.”

Funny I thought there were a few more primaries after SC. Donnie Kardashian hasn’t sewed anything up. Although it’d be nice if he sewed his mouth shut.

Floyd Abrams, the well-known First Amendment attorney (also the father of LawNewz.com's founder Dan Abrams) tells LawNewz: "Mr. Trump's threatened lawsuit against Senator Cruz is ridiculous, absurd, laughable.

Trump threatens to sue Floyd Abrams for being a nasty nasty man and a liar.

Sure maybe there are, but only votes in open primary where dozens of liberals can vote for Trump matter.

But it sure would be fun to see Cruz depose Trump for the suit as he said he would do today.......

//// Donald Trump is no novice on the courtroom docket, he’s been named in at least 169 different federal lawsuits (that’s not counting all of the cases likely filed in state courts across the country).
