"He sues, most of all, to make headlines and to reinforce the notion that he is powerful," wrote Daily Beast reporter Olivia Nuzzi in an overview of his lawsuits last July.

His goal in this may not be paving the way for an actual bolt from the party so much as establishing a narrative about why he lost - if he loses, which is far from a sure thing. That’s what some right-leaning pundits suspect, in any case.
"Trump's image depends on him being seen as the consummate winner; if he loses to Cruz, he'll need to explain how that possibly could have happened. The only tolerable excuse is that he was cheated," writes Allahpundit...

Reuters: Feb 16, 2016 - Trump 40.8%; Cruz 16.9%; Carson 11.5%; Rubio 9.8%; Bush 8.0%; Kasich 7.1%
Indeed...it sure looks like Trump is losing. That last debate crushed him.
~~Go Trump Go~~
“Truthful hyperbole.”
NO ONE, not even a billionaire has standing to question one of our betters.

Yes. Pease remember that, O.K.?
And the answer is...
And there is the Trump-Trump University RICO case going to trial this summer. Trump has already had to pay just under $800,000 to the woman he sued for defamation in an anti-SLAAP case.
That’s nothing compared to what he is going to lose in his RICO trial. Since there are potentially thousands in the class action case, he could lose multiple millions because damages are trebled, plus attorney fees. You can bet his legal fees are going to be in the millions.
In fact, I could only find one case that Trump actually won. When it comes to litigation, Trump is one of the biggest losers. Absolutely no one is afraid of going to court against Trump. His narcissism and arrogance make him an ideal opponent.
“Cruz was the lead senator fighting the the lefties in the Senate...”
And that’s where he should stay.
Well, I think it would make him look like a fool.
His answer would not be as simple as that either. He said Cruz was not eligible in February or March of 2015. Then for five or six months, he went into great depth about him being eligiible. Then in December, he said he was ineligible. Then after Iowa, he said he would still consider Cruz as VP, implying he is eligible. Now, he is apparently threatening Cruz with a lawsuit, if Cruz doesn't take some action he wants.
I think his public statements would have a lot to do with his public statements.
I'm no lawyer, but it sounds like SLAPP to me.
But I think Trump has no intention of going through with it.
The only people screaming liar are the ones that have something to hide. That is DT and Rub
Trump is experienced in defamation lawsuits and he has lost them all. No one is afraid of being sued by Trump.
He’s not going to sue because he knows he would lose.
GO TRUMP!
If he REFUSES to follow through with his threat.........it shows me he is either knowingly LYING about Cruz not being a NBC.......
or he's just like Obama, who draws a red line in the sand and then runs away when the enemy crosses
Hit Piece! Any facts that make Trump look bad are not true!
And businessmen, apparently. Here is a tweet Trump just sent out, which says that Tom Coburn called Cruz "one of the most dishonest people in DC":
Note that Trump was re-tweeting Dan Scavino, who is one of Trump's senior advisors. Here is Scavino's tweet:
Note that Scavino's source is "forwardprogressives.com" (interesting source for a Republican front-runner, no?). Here is a screenshot of the source article:
Note that the line about Cruz being "one of the most dishonest people in DC" was not a quote from Tom Coburn. So, Trump (along with his senior people) took a hit piece about Cruz published on a liberal rag website, attributed a nasty quote from that hit piece to Tom Coburn, and spread it around as though the "Highly respected Senator Tom Coburn said [it] about Cruz."
And he's calling Cruz dishonest?
obama only has one American citizen parent.
So what? You are mixing oranges and apples. Obama was supposedly born on US soil. Cruz is a natural born Canadian and Cuban citizen and a mere citizen of the U.S.

Ok, no problem. Libel suits don’t work against politicians anyway. They all lie and they’re protected by laws written by politicians.
it only takes a couple minutes. The question is, why haven't you? People want him to be president, but they want him to be completely unvetted like Obama.
You'd learn a lot about Trump if you read anything beyond what the mainstream media spoonfeeds you.
Trumpanzees lives matter!
What is Cruz afraid of?
