Trump is unfortunately right.
No, Trump is wrong. Many lawsuits were filed contesting Obama's eligibility, and those did not impede Obama from being elected, taking office, and governing. He simply treated them like the nuisance lawsuits they are. Lawyers were assigned to handle them, and Obama moved on.
The same would be true of Cruz. He would assign lawyers to deal with the nuisance lawsuits, and he would move on. The idea that (as Trump suggested today) Cruz should leave the race out of fear of a Democratic lawsuit against him is, frankly, idiotic.
Cruz is eligible. I proved that over and over since he first filed last spring.
But you’re missing the point. Trump is right to say that democrats will sue and the democrats have already indicated they would.
It has nothing to do with Obama who alleges he was born in Hawaii.
Cruz was born in Canada and although myself and constitutional scholars will say Cruz is eligible because of his mother, it won’t stop the issue from emerging and confusing a substantial portion of the electorate.
Not only have democrats indicated their intentions, but Cruz’ enemies in the Senate have stated that he is not eligible and there will not be any sort of resolution to settle it (as was done for the fraud named McCain).
Cruz will need to win a motion to dismiss. If he loses that, it could take a very long time to settle. That is what Trump is saying.
