Donald J. Trump â€@realDonaldTrump 6 minutes ago
If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.

The Supreme Court disagrees.
Exactly, that just shows he is not objecting based on principle, but trying to use this as a bludgeon to intimidate.
Of course. Natural born is closer to two natural born parents having a natural born child. That is natural born.
Not some guy who was president 18 months ago who renounces his citizenship to bend the requirements. What a typical lawyer!
You know, I am finding it very hard to believe that you Cruz bots are classic liberals, commonly called conservatives these days because of the wish to conserve/preserve/observe the constitution and the belief in natural law. Clearly, you do not believe in Article II, Section I, Clause 5, and I suspect if other aspects of the constitution are disposable with you as well. You seem to be caught up in the cult of personality, like the Ron Paul supporters I saw as a convention delegate 4 years ago, utterly utterly blind to the defects of their own candidate, and there was no evil that could not be attached to every other possible candidate. They could not be reasoned with.
Your comments against Trump sound exactly like the dumb stupid comments Democrats make about Republicans. No substance, just idiotic insults. Trump doz have standing to sue Cruz, and I hope he does. If you were really conservatives/Republicans, you would not be making such stupid idiotic comments, one after the other.
The discussion would be a thoughtful one, why Trump should or should not sue, the pros and the cons, whether or not the qualifications enumerated in the constitution are necessary for the office of presidency, should they be observed, should we address this legislatively. We compromised the constitution for Obama, was it a good idea? What would be the political fallout for Trump, Cruz, other candidates — a whole host of issues that could be debated intelligently, and perhaps a thoughtful discussion such as this, might even come to the attention of those can officially begin to effect changes.
Do you people have any comprehension at all of just how idiotic your comments are? This sort of thing is not how Republicans behave, or at least it used not to be. I sincerely regret the Big Tent. We were far more effective as the minority party without the likes of you!
Manipulate the press?
They made him, they are his biggest cheerleaders.
They all know he is putting on an act, and in reality, is as liberal as Hillary.
He used it on national television you dumba$$!!!
Donald is the one threatening to sue right? Are you confused?
Heck yes he was right to cut from Lebanon! I’m by no means an isolationist but I can think of no good reason to be in half the shiteholes we are in today let alone then. I understand he wished to spread freedom and liberty across the world and he was most successful in many regions. But Lebanon nope! We spread to these places out millions into them (away from our own people) and for what? A dictator to take in the cash to enrich themselves?
And no opposing position isn’t necessarily a RINO however Saint Reagan is used as an attack on the left to disparage the only true conservative this nation has ever seen
Real mature - name calling.
After all these threats to sue, Trump is really going to look like a pussy if he doesn’t sue this time.
Con man? Who CRuz?
We know.
Sorry I meant :
Not some guy who was Canadian 18 months ago who renounces his citizenship to bend the requirements. What a typical lawyer!
It’s fun to watch because I can see what he’s doing. Most people are linear in their thinking and don’t get it. Personally, I find it fascinating. He’s way ahead of everyone and then also adapting as he goes as he learns how it all works.
Thats laughable. Trump hasnt won every debate. Only those who post their vote on Drudge. Get real.

You misunderstood. I am not saying Reagan was wrong or right - but pointing out there were conservatives who thought Reagan had made some errors now and then. RR was human. RR is not a god or a saint. To say Trump disagreed with Reagan on an issue is not the proof someone is a RINO.
Not as dumb as some of you guys.
Yeah, I know. Trump is going to win anyway, he doesn’t need to win on a disqualification. But the country really needs clarification as to what natural born citizen means and whether Cruz and Rubio qualify.
And we really need processes to verify eligibility in all states. Roger Calero should ever have been allowed on any ballots. He was a non-citizen, green card holder.
