RE: Unless it’s Donald Trump.....
Well, he seems to have changed his mind in just a few months after finding out that Cruz is leading in Iowa.

“I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape,” Trump told ABC News just before speaking at a Capitol Hill rally blasting the Iran nuclear deal.
No sir (or m’am). On March 23, last year, NY Daily News published a story that Trump had said that Cruz’s Canadian birth might be/ was going to be a ‘hurdle’ for him.
Trump didn’t declare until June or July 16 (I forget which) & IIRC, he said at the time that he was deciding whether or not to run right up to the last minute.

Perhaps his response was before he got wind of what the Democrats were planning ... After all, he is well-enough connected to discover such plots. Just a guess, on my part.
