Why?
It's no coincidence that Donald Trump and a few of his supporters threw this issue out to the press like meat to a pack of hounds only when Cruz began to move up in the Iowa polls. It's a distraction from the issues and from Trump's highly mixed political history. But with this decision they may have ironically done Cruz a favor by moving the question to an early resolution. Maybe there's a chance that horse will rise and run again, and y'all can keep up the beating, but she's smelling awfully ripe to me.
