Donald Trump is not letting go of his allegations that Ted Cruz used questionable strategies in order to secure his win in the Iowa caucuses. Even after Trump won the New Hampshire primaries, with Ted Cruz 23 points behind him, accusations that Cruz cheated in the Iowa primaries has kept Trump tweeting his rage.
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.

The lawsuit was not originally Trump’s idea. During an appearance on ABC News, it appears that George Stephanopoulos suggested that Trump’s allegations that Cruz could be ineligible to run for president on the basis of his American citizenship status.
“Trump recently said he fears a lawsuit over the fact that Cruz was born in Canada will prevent Cruz from running.
ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos told Trump during a recent interview that some legal scholars have suggested Trump himself would have standing to sue Cruz.
‘Oh, that’s an interesting case. Wow, that sounds like a very good case. I’d do the public a big favor,’ Trump responded, but would not say whether he’d pull the trigger until issuing this threat today via Twitter.”
Trump’s attacks did not stop there. The GOP frontrunner also took swipes at Cruz that hit him where it really hurts: his evangelical Christian values.
How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?

Trump’s anger was also in response to the most recent “attack ads” that Cruz released targeting individual candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Grab your popcorn, folks. The GOP race just becomes more and more like a bad political film we can’t stop watching.
