I saw Megyn Kelly interview Judge Napolitano last night, and he said Trump has no basis for suing Ted Cruz. She asked what chances Trump has of winning this case, and Judge said ZERO. He went on to say, “There are many many technical obstacles to this lawsuit, but in the midst of a political campaign, for him to say to his opponent, unless you apologize to me for something you said about me, and to Ben Carson for something you did to him, I’m going to sue you, the Federal courts would dismiss the suit on their own notion, and charge Donald Trump the cost that the others paid to resist the suit. It’s called frivolous pleadings...this is litigation 101.

Also as to the Iowa mailers, from a previous segment (since Trump keeps bringing it up)....Cruz didn’t do anything wrong. This is not an election, this was not run by the govt, this is a contest within a private group, called the Republican Party of Iowa, they set the laws, they set the rules, the state of Iowa does not, so the general laws that apply to a general election, do not apply here.

Secondly basic principle, politics is not beanbag....you can say rough and tough things, you can exaggerate, you can extrapolate, it is perfectly reasonable for Congressman King to have said, “this guy is going to Florida, he is out of here”, they reacted the same way, watching CNN, watching other news commentators speculate, they all reacted the same way. It is a rational inference he can make. The courts are not going to get in the business of second guessing words that people use, during campaigns.

As to the flyer, it would be impossible to prove that that flyer a) coerced people to vote who weren’t going to vote, and b) to vote for a specific candidate. It is unknowable and unprovable. NO lawyer would take that case.

Trump is making a political statement, there is no legal basis for having another Iowa caucus, no court would take a complaint, no court would inquire of a voter as to why they voted.

As well, here is Judge Napolitano earlier in January, discussing how Cruz is eligible, so Trump can do whatever (which I doubt he will, because he’s all talk, no action)

And this is why Ted’s campaign has become so sad. The supposed “Voice of Truth” in this campaign, who was to be the “anti-Establishment lion”, has instead created an army of Cracker Jack lawyers who go around excusing his lousy behavior as “technically OK”.

No one has ever suggested Cruz’s shame mailers were illegal, except for Cruz supporters themselves when arguing against men of straw. What everyone has said, is that something doesn’t have to be illegal to be wrong. Shaming people with intimidating notes threatening to involve their neighbors is wrong. I don’t care how legal it is.

Cruz didn’t apologize, he didn’t fire or reprimand his campaign manager, he doubled down on those slimy tactics, and so did his ardent supporters. And from there it just kept going downhill.

And now here he is, with a floundering campaign, holding desperate press conferences crying about Donald Trump.

It’s pathetic and unfortunate.
