...from Cruz. Trump says Cruz is cheating by repeating things Trump says.
He's gonna lose this battle.
Hahaha...courts don't entertain political lawsuits. Maybe he can try in a few years.
Complete and utter baffoon.
What a petulant narcissist. It frightens me to think his following seems so strong. The exact same types who followed Obama, only in reverse.
What's Trump going to sue him for?
Kent
Cruz will apologize the way he did when he (rightfully) pointed out "New York values".
Things will calm down a bit now that the post debate polls still show Trump with a strong double digit lead.
Link? can't find that.

Haven't looked. It was all over the radio this morning.
Things will calm down a bit now that the post debate polls still show Trump with a strong double digit lead.
Unless things focus on Trump losing points and Rubio and Cruz gaining points.
This wet dream is ripe for f'n up....
You mean straightening up. Maybe people really do care about their families future.
Straightening up is good.
I was referencing the 3rd party rhetoric.
The only way that ends good is if Trump goes 3rd party and runs Bloomberg as his veep.

============
Trump's 17 point lead has remained steadfast for the most part.
The battle and polling numbers speaks more to 2nd-4th place, than it does for Trump. Rubio has made a huge dent in Cruz's numbers by catching up to him in SC.

Or the polling numbers are about whether Trump picks a black man, a Cuban or a Canadian for veep. I think the retarded brother of the retarded ex-President probably isn't in the running.
I like Rubio too. Immigration is a straw man.

The further this thing goes the more I like Jep! Is Cheney still alive? Is he going to be Veep again? When do we attack Iraq again? Is it bad form to start a war on Inauguration Day?
Both easy fixes...for a conservative.

Correct
Good lord...it's even worse than they depicted on the radio.

Shame isn't it,for a grown "man" to act like a child.
Donald Trump dramatically escalated his feud with rival Ted Cruz on Monday, threatening to sue the Texas senator over his eligibility for office if he does not retract alleged “lies” about Trump’s positions – and calling on the Republican National Committee to intervene on two fronts.
The billionaire businessman wants the RNC to pressure Cruz, and also stop allowing so many donors at the debates. If the RNC does not “get its act together,” Trump warned, they would be violating the “pledge” he signed to support the eventual GOP nominee.
While dragging the RNC into the fray, Trump’s already-nasty and personal feud with Cruz was hitting an unprecedented level. At a press conference and in a written statement, Trump demanded Cruz apologize for allegedly false statements about him – or he’ll follow through on threats to challenge in court the Canada-born senator’s eligibility to run.
“He doesn’t even have the right to serve as president, or even run as president. He was born in Canada. So I will bring that lawsuit if he doesn’t apologize,” Trump told reporters at a press conference.
Simultaneously, his campaign issued a statement detailing Cruz’s allegedly false statements about his positions on abortion, ObamaCare and more.
“If he doesn’t take down his false ads and retract his lies, I will [file suit] immediately. Additionally, the RNC should intervene and if they don’t, they are in default of their pledge to me,” Trump said in the statement.
The threats come as Cruz has questioned Trump’s positions on abortion, gun rights and other issues. In one new ad, the Cruz campaign warns conservatives are "just one Supreme Court justice away" from losing on issues that are important to them. Those issues, the ad says, include "life, marriage, religious liberty, the Second Amendment." It suggests Trump would nominate more liberal justices.
Cruz, though, is standing by his statements.
“Truth matters. You cannot simply scream liar when somebody points out the actual position of Donald Trump or the actual positon of Marco Rubio,” Cruz told reporters. “I will continue to focus on substance and truth.”
Trump for months has questioned Cruz’s eligibility to run, though the Cruz campaign dismisses such concerns – some legal analysts have said Cruz is eligible because his mother is an American-born citizen.
"The people of South Carolina want a consistent conservative they can trust," Cruz told reporters before his rally in Aiken.
But about the same time at a rally 130 miles away in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Trump called Cruz "the most dishonest guy I think I've ever met in politics."
"I think he's an unstable person," he said, later declaring: "He's nuts."
The exchange was in keeping with the barbed tone of the race set at Saturday’s debate, where Cruz openly questioned Trump’s pro-life credentials and Trump called him “the single biggest liar.”
Trump went on to repeatedly accuse Cruz of lying on Monday.
Meanwhile, his comments about the RNC pledge renewed speculation that he’s threatening to mount an independent run for the White House.
Last September, after much intra-party drama, Trump signed a “loyalty pledge” saying he would support the eventual GOP nominee – though the document was not binding, it was an effort to soothe concerns he might strike out and run as an independent.
Trump said Monday that the RNC isn’t holding up its end of the bargain, suggesting the committee was hurting his campaign by giving out too many GOP debate tickets to donors. This was a reference to incidents at the last two debates, where Trump repeatedly was booed by the audience – and Trump, in turn, openly accused them of being rival candidate Jeb Bush’s donors and supporters.
“The RNC better get its act together,” Trump said at an earlier campaign stop in South Carolina. “I signed a pledge. But the pledge isn’t being honored by them.”
He later went on to say the RNC would be “in default of their pledge” if they don’t intervene in his dispute with Cruz.
Sen. Jeff Sessions was on Levins Show last night. Thoroughly discredited Rubio's story on the immigration scenario surrounding the "gang of 8".
I found that info, I thought he was going to sue for libel.
Kent
Jeb! started out not even wanting to be associated with his brother or the Bush name for that matter as it was seen as a liability.
Now he's bringing in 43 in a desperate attempt to pull in *any* voters he can while talking about being tired of Trump attacking his family name..
How rich is that?
or he'll sue....Trump should have got a patent for a "republican" doing and saying liberal stuff
That's hardly fair......if Bernie Sanders can be a Democratic Socialist there's no reason Trump can't be a Liberal Republican.....

How do you do that when somebody is repeating what you said?
What a petulant narcissist. It frightens me to think his following seems so strong. The exact same types who followed Obama, only in reverse.
His following is substantially made up of folks that need to win. Winning is everything to them and they believe he has the best chance of winning. His specifics on the issues clearly matter not.

hasn't that been the republican nominee game plan in the last 2 elections?

Thank you.
sooo much I'm sick of winning
The democrats never had to fire a shot at republicans to tear them down and win the election.
They had Trump to do it for them. Free.

7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you.

Cruz will give him an apology like he gave New York. He's humble that way.

Why does he have two "DONATE" links on his website, then?
It was nice he routed the Vets donations to his private foundation so he could do all the paperwork for them. Quite the guy!
Do you remember that animated show "Lil Bush"?
OMG...

The best thing Cruz can do is to just keep playing Trump's video clips.
The best thing Cruz can do is make sure he doesn't fall outside 3rd place this Saturday.
The lower tiered guys need to get out of Trump's way and not bring him into their time consuming and expensive battles for 2nd through 4th place.

Donalds skin isn't very thick. I think he'd like that.
I think Jeb! is going to surge and very well could end up with 2nd place.
Sure you do
watch4bear,
I don't know if you've noticed, but nobody gives a flying [bleep] what you say.
you do my little democrat
Do you remember that animated show "Lil Bush"?
OMG...
Goodness Gracious even the [bleep] in chief is yelling at Trump. Has anyone ever seen a standing POTUS ever criticize candidates?

One thing is for sure, is that you wouldn't be saying that to my face.

You think donald will weird em out reaching across the isle all the time?
Trump does not need to spend money, the press is in the bag for him. They want him to get the nomination, in an ugly one on one fight he will end up imploding and lose. If he wins they still get a liberal.
The smartest thing that Bush and Rubio can do is stay in as long as possible and see what the GOP will do for them in a brokered convention, where both Cruz and Trump would both take it in the azz.
The more the merrier. They'll just continue taking turns being Trump's punching bag. It's all by design.
I think Jeb! is going to surge and very well could end up with 2nd place.
Jeb surging...

I know this is serious business and all, but you've got to admit some of those clips are hilarious.
Don't worry Cruztaceans if on the 200,000,000 to 1 odds that Rafael wins the nomination I will hold my nose and vote for him. I am 100% convinced that 50% of Cruztaceans would rather vote for Hillary or Bernie or better yet stay at home.
... or better yet stay at home.
Thats how we got the raghead the last two times.

You guys sure spend alot of time talking about whos comming in 2nd to 5th place...

Well, this is a thread about Trump
OK, Trump threatens Cruz with an eligibility lawsuit if Cruz does not apologize to Trump for quoting Trump. I guess I missed something here. If Trump suddenly has information that he claims he has just learned three or four days ago, even though he is on record making that exact accusation several weeks ago, should he not proceed with the lawsuit irregardless of some stupid apology demand? Is it not Trump's obligation to file suit of eligibility if he has reasonable doubt as to Cruz's eligibility? It is BS and Trump knows it. If it was not, there is a real simple solution to this - file the suit and get rid of Cruz. End of the problem, done deal.
Can anyone really imagine Trump not doing this if he even thought he had the slightest chance of disqualifying Cruz? Trump has spent his life successfully destroying his competitors. I would tell Trump to file the suit and get it settled or STFU! Real damn simple.
"Is it not Trump's obligation to file suit of eligibility if he has reasonable doubt as to Cruz's eligibility?"
No, it's not his "obligation". He's a private citizen, not the US Attorney General. Even in the case of the AG, there wouldn't be a clear obligation without an examination of the facts.
I see Trump using the courts much like a business would.
I see Trump using the courts much like a business CHILD would.
Fixed it for ya...
I understand that he has no legal obligation to file a suit, but I would think as a legitimate political contender or at least as a responsible citizen he would have a moral obligation to do so, IF it is a legitimate concern. Or, maybe I'm just weird as I believe in justice and doing things right. I believe in doing things right and treating others fairly even if no one would know the difference. I guess that is reason enough for me not to be a politician.
Was Judge Scalia referring to Trump when he said, "Get over it?".
