Cruz supporters say Trump ought to sue to get the issue settled, then when Trump threatens to sue, they acuse him of grandstanding. I suppose those aren’t necessarily incongruous positions, but the combination does ring of goading somebody into doing something so you can ridicule him for it.

You nailed it!
Maybe ALL the candidates should bring a joint suit against Cruz, because they all have standing. I don’t think one candidate, Trump, should stick his neck out by suing. It will benefit Cruz if he can get a ruling his way...personally, and unfortunately, I think it will upset his applecart. But either way, a definitive ruling will be the best for the country prior to any chance of Cruz becoming the eventual nominee and a nightmare legal boondoggle ensuing. A lot of people may switch their vote to Cruz if they could be assured this was not hanging over his head.
Trump isn’t doing it, he is just threatening to do it unless Cruz quits hurting his feelings. Who’s doing the goading?
