"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...

I dare him to sue.
I was thinking that it would be great if Rubio, Carson and Trump made a political ad together each saying one sentence about Cruz being a liar. All three men agree Cruz will lie on a stack of Bible’s. This would be history making theater.
I never saw a guy like Rafael lie about all his opponents. They should gang up on him. Strength in numbers.
This would be all the media would talk about for weeks.
Suppose he does, and the court rules that one American citizen parent does not suffice for NBC status?
I thought "he's insane" would be one of the explanations, but it wasn't
Simply a political gimmick that keeps reminding the people of a question about Cruz’s citizenship. Extremely effective as the latest FOUR South Carolina polls show.
You don’t want to ‘dare’ a person like TRUMP, that’s when you LOSE!
I thought it was just to spread doubt to keep Cruz voters from voting.
Haven t seen a apology or lawsuit yet,.
Yes, I wish he would just do it.
Fight Back
Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation. In most cases I’m very easy to get along with. I’m very good to people who are good to me. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is that you’ll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don’t recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in— even if it means alienating some people along the way— things usually work out for the best in the end.
When the city unfairly denied me, on Trump Tower, the standard tax break every developer had been getting, I fought them in six different courts. It cost me a lot of money, I was considered highly likely to lose, and people told me it was a no-win situation politically. I would have considered it worth the effort regardless of the outcome. In this case, I won— which made it even better.
When Holiday Inns, once my partners at the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, ran a casino that consistently performed among the bottom 50 percent of casinos in town, I fought them very hard and they finally sold out their share to me. Then I began to think about trying to take over the Holiday Inns company altogether.
Even if I never went on the offensive, there are a lot of people gunning for me now. One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people— I categorize them as life’s losers— who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

LOL!!! That would be awesome! Cruz would be done in politics!
He’d be reduced to working as a server at one of the Houston area Pappasitos!
Trump has lost plenty of lawsuits. How come he sued an author who documented that he only has between $250 and $350 million and he LOST. Looked like a fool in the deposition.
Trump is just another politician. All talk, talk, talk.
OK, I’ll bite. Cite the lie that Cruz told about his opponents.
Liberals love to sue. It’s always been true.
How about the fact Trump says he won't sue if Cruz does XYZ?
If you have the emotional maturity of a 4th grader, yeah.
This is part of his strategy of getting the effect of sueing someone while not sueing. If he could get the other side to pull negative adds, it means he doesn’t have to spend as much money in ads. This got nothing to do with egos or image of winning. Its called strategy
