“We’re prepared for anything, we have in house counsel.. but we don’t think it will have any standing,” a Ted Cruz spokesman said. | AP Photo Cruz's camp on Trump's lawsuit threat: 'We're prepared for anything'

Ted Cruz’s campaign may think Donald Trump’s accusations about his eligibility are bunk, but that doesn't mean they're going to be caught flat-footed if he follows through on his threat to sue.

“We’re prepared for anything, we have in house counsel.. but we don’t think it will have any standing,” Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Tuesday after the host asked if they were prepared for the lawsuit Trump has threatened to file.

“We will bring a lawsuit if he doesn’t straighten his act out,” Trump told reporters in South Carolina Monday afternoon. “This guy’s just a plain out liar.”

And about those liar insults. Tyler turned it back on the New York billionaire: “He should look in the mirror.”
