Donald Trump on Friday issued a warning to Ted Cruz, alleging that he has standing to sue the Texas senator over questions of his birth and constitutional eligibility to serve in the White House.
If @tedcruz does not clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen, Trump tweeted.
The broadside was an escalation in the accusations that the real estate mogul has been lobbing Cruzs way this week. Trump called Cruz a liar in a series of tweets beginning Thursday that stem from allegations that the Texas senators campaign created push polls against Trump. Cruz has denied his campaign has any affiliation with such polls.
Cruz caught cold in lie after denial of push polls like lies w/ @RealBenCarson. How can he preach Christian values? Trump asked, tweeting out a link to a POLITICO story headlined Cruz denies Trump accusation over push polls.
Trump continued his criticism, adding that his campaign has been getting reports from many voters that the Cruz people are back to doing very sleazy and dishonest pushpolls on me. We are watching!

Eagleton.
And legally, the procedure is the same. If a party's nominee dies or resigns after the Convention, the party's National Committee selects the replacement.
That may be true, but it is generally accepted that people vote for the person at the top of ticket. A VP change at the last minute has less impact on election.
Obama is a lame duck now. Best ignored and sent to Hawaii ASAP.
$h!+ or get off the pot, Donald.
Well....may be some truth in practice, but nothing is done illegally. SCOTUS blessed Obamacare as a tax! And Obama executive orders have not been found illegal in courts.
AT the end of day what matters is who appoints the judges.
I guess we'll find out soon enough, huh?
Like Trump said, he is watch how Cruz behave is SC.
The underlying message here pretty sums up Trump as a person and a candidate. The implication here is that if Cruz does "clean up his act," then Trump is perfectly fine with him as a candidate even if he's not eligible to serve as President of the United States. WTF?
Obama can not prove he suffers any damage with Cruz nomination. Only the candidates running can prove damage.
Like I posted above, a VP is much easier to replace at any time. Senator Eagleton was replace shortly before election and another VP nominated without causing any waves.
Ah yes, Trump and frivolous litigation. He can sue Putin next.
“Because Trumpâs mother was not born in America.”
Not even a good try; she was a naturalized citizen when Trump was born.
However, under the natural born clause in the Constitution, citizenship descended from the father only.
“Cruz would be the first openly foreign born President in American history.”
___
Perhaps the first openly but maybe not the first. Questions still remain concerning 0bama’s birth in Kenya. 0bama’s birth certificate, however, is, without question, a fraudulent document.
“Typical New York “valuesâ: Intimidate.”
Typical New York values such as: “Carson has dropped out of the race; don’t waste your vote”?
You mean you would not try to save your face?
#16 He’s a loud mouth coward with nads the size of raisins.
” trump is all talk and no action”
How did he amass his billions?
“”How did he amass his billions?””
By staying tight with his fellow democrats.
Then stop talking about it and sue. (But he doesn’t have standing.)
