Mike Huckabee dropped out Monday night, but he made clear in his final days as a candidate how much he personally disdains Cruz. He attacked him for being born in Canada, saying “the eligibility issue is real,” without even being asked. And the 2008 caucus winner went after the first-term senator for not tithing, essentially questioning the sincerity of his faith. He also accused him of being a phony on the stump, saying one thing in Manhattan and another in Marshalltown. |

Donald Trump Threatens Lawsuit Against Ted Cruz Over Citizenship
by ALI VITALI
Quote: | HANAHAN, S.C. -- The feud between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz may be headed to court.
Moments after Trump took the podium at a press conference here, his campaign released a statement threatening to take Cruz to court to challenge his eligibility to be president "if he doesn't take down his false ads and retract his lies."
"One of the ways I can fight back is to bring a lawsuit against him relative to the fact that he was born in Canada and therefore cannot be president," the statement said. |

Quote: | A judge in Cook County Circuit Court will hear testimony Friday in a lawsuit filed by an Illinois voter that alleges Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz should not be allowed to run for president, CNN and ABC are reporting.
Lawrence Joyce, an Illinois voter who has objected to Cruz's placement on the Illinois primary ballot next month, will have his case heard in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago. Joyce's previous objection, made to the state's Board of Elections, was dismissed on February 1.
Joyce challenges Cruz's right to be president in the wake of questions put forth by GOP rival Donald Trump about being born in Canada, according to CNN.
Cruz maintains he is a natural-born citizen since his mother is American-born.
"My case presents the perfect opportunity for Donald Trump himself to step forward and bring the matter to court personally," Joyce told WBBM radio.
Joyce, of Poplar Grove, Ill., said he's concerned about what could happen if Cruz is the Republican nominee, saying the Democrats could file a challenge in the fall, ABC's channel 7 in Chicago reported.
"At that point, all of his fundraising would dry up. And his support in the polls would drop dramatically. He may be forced at that point to resign the nomination," Joyce said.
Joyce said he has not spoken to the Trump campaign and that he supports Republican contender Ben Carson.
The Trump and Cruz campaigns could not immediately be reached. |

Cruz seeks dismissal of case challenging U.S. presidential eligibility
http://news.yahoo.com/cruz-seeks-dismissal-case-challenging-u-presidential-eligibility-220046106.html
Quote: | The lawsuit filed in the Southern District of Texas is a class action, meaning others can join. It requests a ruling before the Nov. 8 presidential election.
Lawyers for Cruz also argue he has yet to be the Republican Party's nominee and it would be premature for a court to address the issue.
"Nowhere does Plaintiff, who acknowledges that he is a Democrat ... explain how he is harmed by Senator Cruz’s presence on the Republican primary ballot," the Cruz filing said. |
