Trump knows full well that there is no mechanism for Cruz to obtain a ruling from a Federal Judge that he is eligible to run. Federal judges rule on "cases or controversies"--that is, actual (not contemplated) disputes--and no such case or controversy exists here.

This is an obvious dodge by Trump.

"This is an obvious dodge by Trump. "

Anytime Cruz wants to he can respond to any on the 3 cases now pending on the merits rather than procedural grounds and standing.

Trump has the STANDING to file a lawsuit and he can d it.

STANDING -— the ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action challenged to support that party’s participation in the case.

Perhaps Trump is taking a wait and see attitude to see if Cruz is going anywhere. If he is, then he can file a lawsuit since he can demonstrate “sufficient connection to harm” in his campaign.
