“I guess I have to tell you I am SHOCKED that with his billions of dollars that Donald Trump has not had Cruz removed from the ballot in any state. If this is such an obvious slam-dunk, why is he still on the ballot in all the states?”

For the same reasons a self proclaimed Communist and alien resident from a Central American nation was not removed from the ballots in earlier presidential elections; i.e. government incompetence and corruption.

Roger Calero could not be on the ballot in several states and the Socialist Worker Party had to use a substitute candidate (James Harris) in states that would not allow Calero on the ballot.
“In 2004, Róger Calero was the SWP candidate for President of the United States and received 3,689 votes with Arrin Hawkins running for Vice President. Because he is not a natural born citizen of the United States, Calero is ineligible to become U.S. president under the United States Constitution, meaning that even had he won the election, he would not have been permitted to serve, and so James Harris, the Socialist Workers’ Party presidential candidate from 2000, stood in on the ticket in nine states where Calero could not be listed, receiving 7,102 additional votes.

Róger Calero again ran for President of the United States representing the SWP in the 2008 presidential election, together with Alyson Kennedy for vice-president. Again, James Harris stood in for Calero in several states. In the 2008 presidential election, Calero was on the ballot in five states, where he received 7,209 votes. Coupled with the 2,424 votes received in the five states where Harris was on the ballot.”—Wikipedia
