So, remember a few months ago when Donald Trump and Ted Cruz were BFFs? Remember them both saying so disingenously how they actually really liked each other? Well... shocker... that's changed.
Donald Trump (speaking to George Stephanopolous) on the possibility of suing Cruz:
"I'm thinking about it very seriously George, I already have a lawyer, we're looking at it very seriously, we're thinking about it. He was born in Canada, lived there for years, and then under that period ... you know, you take a look at this... When you talk about a natural born citizen, according to many great lawyers, I've been looking at very strongly over the last week."
And Ted Cruz's response:
"I look forward to any lawsuit and let me note by the way, one of the things I look forward to most of all is deposing Donald Trump. And for that particular endeavor I may not use outside counsel. I may take the deposition myself. And I will say this: Whether in a deposition or in a court of law, getting Donald Trump under oath, under penalty of perjury, answering these questions? Well I’ll point out it didn't work very well for Bill Clinton. Donald Trump does not want to be under oath answering questions about his own record because his position quite simply is that anyone who points to his record is somehow lying,”
YES. YES. YES. Oh dear god, please please please let the GOP race devolve into a lawsuit between the two top contenders, where one actually takes the deposition of the other. Oh god. There has never been anything in my lifetime with regards to politics that has brought me more pleasure than this idea.
Please please please let this happen. I am giddy.
