Donald Trump says he's considering suing GOP rival Ted Cruz to challenge the Canada-born Texas senator's eligibility to be president.
"I'm thinking about it very seriously," the GOP front-runner told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America Tuesday. "I already have a lawyer, we're looking at it very seriously, we're thinking about it."
Most Constitutional scholars agree that Cruz, who was born in Calgary to an American mother and a Canadian father, is eligible to run for president. But Trump has repeatedly questioned the senator's presidential qualifications under the Constitution's "natural-born citizen" clause.
"He was born in Canada," Trump said Tuesday. "Lawyers - many lawyers - are saying he doesn't even have the right to run for president. He can't be president because of the fact he was born in Canada, lived there for years. I mean, under that theory I guess Winston Churchill could be" president....

Not the attitude of someone 20 pts ahead.
Why does he think Ted Cruz could disqualify him?
There would be no reason if he were up 20%
Internal polls often show very different things than public ones.
Nobody Ted Cruzs Ted Cruz. NOBODY!
Also, haven’t we had this same article posted about 1,000 times now in the past 2 days? Do you just keep a google search for this stuff open and every time the results have a new source, you submit?
Trump, either file the lawsuit or shut the hell up.
People probably fired their editors when everyone else did.
Insert verb of your choice here.
Psy-ops
New York values.
No joke. Trump’s becoming more of a jerk everyday.
“I guess Winston Churchill could be” president”
He’d do a pretty bang up job...even though he’s dead.
The other articles posted are what Trump said yesterday.
This one is what Trump said today.
thanks for posting this. I keep forgetting about it even though it’s been posted here 7,825 times already in the last two days.
He’s not going to do it because then he wouldn’t have the “issue” to open his giant pie hole about.
He reminds me of my children when they were young. If a toy would break they would say we should sue, if somebody was mean to them they would sy we should sue, etc.
Sue and Liar are tRumps favorite words because he can’t think of anything more intelligent to say and it gives his supporters a tingle up their leg.
Translation of this curious TrumpSpeak: "I'm not going to sue anybody, particularly Ted Cruz."
I hope this is helpful.
You have no idea how little I value your input, do you?
Apparently Trump sees Cruz as the biggest threat to his chances at the Presidency. He’s trying to make Cruz pay rent for living in his head.
Go Cruz.
I would have voted for Churchill in a heartbeat, I don’t care where he was born or who his parents were.
It’s not as if these days that you can completely rely on Natural-Born Citizens being loyal to the US.
That’s why I really don’t care about Cruz’s status. He is one of the two candidates I find acceptable, and that’s the bottom line.
