“...Furthermore, the longer Cruz leaves it out there...”
I don’t believe Cruz has any standing to engage a court of competent jurisdiction.
He can’t sue himself...
He can’t pop down to the “Presidential Qualification Dept” and get a “running for president license”...
He can’t ask/beg/force any court to pre-review an imaginary lawsuit that some other candidate may or may not bring...
However, I do believe Trump has standing as a competing candidate. So if Trump is serious about it, he can do something. Will he be all talk and no action? It remains to be seen. In the meantime, it just makes him look like he’s flailing desperately at a rising competitor, grasping at straws, unable to compete on the laundry list of “yuuuge” issues the nation faces.

I don’t know how Cruz could do that either. I keep seeing people say he should seek a Declaratory Judgment, but I have never heard of such a thing.
I don’t know if it exists, I’m completely ignorant of it, and I’d be super thankful if someone could shed some light on that for me.
Far as Trump goes, I don’t think he can establish standing. I don’t think anyone can establish standing until after Cruz is already elected president.
But even if Trump could establish standing, I don’t believe he would. He has no reason to make this go away. He would rather use it as a weapon against Cruz.
I think he is basically saying it’s up to Cruz to make this go away, and until he does he’ going to club Cruz with it all day long.
