Donald Trump on Friday threatened to sue Ted Cruz for "not being a natural born citizen" if the Texas senator "doesn't clean up his act" and stop running negative ads against him.
"If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen," he tweeted.

Trump has previously argued that if Cruz won the Republican nomination, Democrats would argue that the Canada-born Texas senator was ineligible for the presidency. Last month, Trump asked a rally if he should sue Cruz "just for fun" over the issue.

It takes more than his resounding (and it was resounding) win in NH to get the White House.
A lot of water passes under the bridge before January 2017.
Trump isn’t doing it, he is just threatening to do it unless Cruz quits hurting his feelings. Who’s doing the goading?
Could a political party deny the constitutional rights of someone vying for the nomination within that party by allowing a candidate, who is ineligible, to run?
It is possible that this may only be litigated by someone running in the general.
Laurence Tribe might be right; it may not be justiciable.
I sometimes wonder what if the primary candidate were 32 years old rather than 35? Same answer?
“For God’s sake, FOCUS ON THE ENEMIES! Not our allies”
That could stand being said, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Maybe this issue will be forced upon Cruz if one of the states refuses to let him run because his citizenship issues are not fully resolved.
>>Cruz approving little boys playing with dolls is not fine.
I Googled trying to figure out what you’re talking about.
You mean this?:
HA HA HA HA HA HA ! OH my goodness. That’s hilariously brilliant! The Donald Trump Action Figure - pretending to be a Republican.
We don’t have Tee Vee in our home so I sometimes miss the funniest adds.
Thanks for pointing that one out!
Once Trump wins what will he do with the 1/3 who would vote for the anit-christ be him or that the Trumpers have pissoff so bad they would just as soon see Bernie win?
Oh so you agree with me. Cool.
Excuse me......the Hillary doll was a girl doll. I don’t want my sons playing with dolls. You are a progressive parent I guess.
Pathetic...
If the number of votes obtained by the alleged ineligible candidate(s) is big enough to affect the outcome of the contest, the court has to make a finding as to eligibility. If the outcome could be affected (look at the margins of victory) and the alleged ineligible candidate is found ineligible, the remedy is an election do-over (unless the ballot only had two candidates to begin with, or third and lower candidates can't win even if given all the votes of the ineligible candidate, then the 2nd place finisher wins)
If the alleged ineligible candidate gets 100 votes out of 100,000; and there is no 100 vote (close) margin between any two players, the court can dodge the issue because the outcome is unchanged no matter where those 100 votes are hypothetically placed.
But if the alleged ineligible candidate gets enough votes to affect the delegate allocation or other outcome, the only way to figure out how the voters will choose is to give them another election, with the ineligible candidate(s) off the ballot.

Is the homosexual commun.. err “culture” represented by Lady Gaga on Sunday a friend or an enemy of Conservatism?
‘cause last time I checked - they were in the ENEMY category.
I was referring to the peanut gallery, not the players.
What damages has he suffered?
“Pathetic...”
I know you are. But that is life
How do you show that in a six person race?
Now you are reduced to the gradeschool taunt of “I know you are, but what am I?”... LOL Sorry, I didn’t realize I was dealing with a child.
Yeah as mature as your post. Sure. Look you have decided that you believe my reply was true due to lack of debate so you put a simple “pathetic” on it which can be taken many ways. I took the way I looked at it and you still aren’t happy.
Go away little boy\girl.
