Donald Trump Floats Ted Cruz Eligibility Lawsuit
Breitbart.com ^ | 23 Jan 2016 | Alex Swoyer

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump reportedly said he might file a lawsuit over fellow GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s (R-TX) eligibility to be President of the United States.

“I’ve said Ted has a lot of problems — number one, Canada. He could run for the Prime Minister of Canada and I wouldn’t even complain because he was born in Canada,” Trump said during a campaign event in Iowa. “The Democrats are going to sue if he ever got the nomination within two days. There have already been two lawsuits filed, but they don’t have standing. I have standing to sue. Can you imagine if I did it? Should I do it just for fun?”

Trump said he was confident he would defeat Cruz and win the Republican nomination, so he doesn’t need to file the lawsuit.

Donald, buddy. You need to do it to make sure he can be your VP. Trust me, he's your best choice.

No, Cruz is not the best choice for VP. Do not be silly. Cruz is a liar who cannot be trusted.

I just hope he learns the oath he needs to take for VP if that ever happens.

As a Cruz supporter, I think Trump should do so immediately and demand that it is resolved before the Iowa caucuses!
Then, when it goes down in flames, we can see (if this charade did not do this already) where Trump is at, and get back to the issues that concern us all.

This law suit has the potential to open up Pandora’s box. It’s best that Ted Cruz just fades away like every other challenger.

Please do this,Trump! While you are at it, ask that it be “expedited”.
You know that word, “expedited”? It is the word you used, when you said you would bring back the “good ones” through your “great big beautiful door “ on the Mexican border.

How many times can Trump cry wolf about this before people’s ears become numb from it. May that time come soon.

The Mouth of Manhattan is a Coward looking for one
Of his political whores to do his bidding just like
The coward got A.C. to try to take a house he wanted
The Lot it sat on for a garage for his Casino.

Put up or shut up Mouth. Spoiled rich smear merchant.

Typical Trump.

All talk no action.

We are still waiting for those ‘amazing things' that Trump swore in 2911 that his investigators found on Obama in Hawaii.

Yep, all hat and no cattle. He admitted during the debate that this became an issue because Cruz started doing better in the polls. Bring the lawsuit, Trump, bring it now, and “expedite” it!
Go Trump! (What are you waiting for, tough guy)

On the stage with Beck. Beck stupidly had Cruz raise his right hand and give the Oath of Office for President. Of course Cruz mucked it up and really just made a fool of Cruz, but it was Beck’s fault for not discussing he was going to do this prior to the event happening. I am not sure I could say rote things off the cuff....some stuff yes but not everything. I know it is the Oath of Office he is wanting but still it was a stupid thing for Beck to do to Cruz.
