Trump Hammers at Cruz's Eligibility Again

Donald Trump on Friday continued his non-stop assault on Ted Cruz's eligibility to be president — retweeting recent opinions by top legal scholars that the Texas senator can't serve in the White House because he was born in Canada.

The Republican presidential front-runner trumpeted the opinion of Mary Brigid McManamon, a constitutional law professor at Widener University's Delaware Law School, who wrote in the Washington Post that the Constitution prohibits Cruz from serving as commander-in-chief.

And he also retweeted the opinion of Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe, who once taught Cruz and Barack Obama, as stating Cruz is ineligible.

"Big problem," Trump says in his tweet.

Neither opinion is new, but Trump is waging voters will be wary of supporting him in the wake of court challenges should he win the general election. One lawsuit has already been filed by a Texas lawyer.

On Friday, the billionaire developer also retweeted a message from a supporter that reads:

"@realOllieTaylor: Isn't it time we had a president? Let goofy Glen keep Canada Cruz who can't win. The American people have Trump!"

Trump also writes:

Ted Cruz complains about my views on eminent domain, but without it we wouldn't have roads, highways, airports, schools or even pipelines.

Trump remains the top polling candidate as the Iowa caucuses approach, with Cruz in second place.
