How can Trump demonstrate that Cruz’s run for the GOP nomination has injured Trump in such a way that a court can remedy?

Well, how about if Cruz kicks the despicable (with his ‘RAT tactics) Trump’s ass in Iowa?

That certainly would be prima facie evidence of damages. Actually, the mere presence of Cruz on the ballot (supposedly illegally) would be enough for just about any court to accept Trump’s case.

I’m not sure that Cruz’s beating Trump in Iowa would qualify as an injury that court could remedy.

That is what happens in primary elections. One candidate wins, another loses.

The Constitution does not require a person be an NBC to run for a particular party’s nomination.

It requires a person be an NBC in order to be eligible for president.

At this time, this is not a race for the presidency. I don’t see any law that prevents a party from nominating a person who actually isn’t eligible to run.

Maybe I’m wrong on that, but I don’t know.

I really do not think that Trump can establish standing at this time, but I am also certain that he does not want to or intend to.
