Todays threat of litigation from you guessed it, donald trump, who was in tampa, florida tonight at a rally. On twitter today, trump issued an you will may tum to ted cruz. Jim acosta is now live. What is the mood like there so far . Trump promising a shift in tone to be more positive and more attacks including a lawsuit threat. Well, thats right, jim. A few moments ago, donald trump on stage at this rally said his campaign is a message about love and hes the messenger. Not a lot of love on the campaign trail. As you mentioned theres the tweet that trump sent out earlier this afternoon in which he threatens to take ted cruz to court if the texas senator does not cease negative attack ads and other sorts of dirty tricks hes accusing ted cruz of carrying out in South Carolina. He has been retweeting his supporters questioning the texas senators canadian birth. So far at this point, jim, donald trump has not mentioned ted cruz yet. He has gone after jeb bush at one point saying hes asleep at the wheel, calling him gutless. This is florida. Remember, jeb bush was the governor of florida. This is not Trump Holding back by any stretch of the imagination. The other thing we are listening for at this rally, which start ed a little while ago, last night trump vowed to clean up his rhetoric no more foul language. Jeb bush said trumps language is a sign of his insecurities. Marco rubio is saying he cant explain trumps vulgarities to his kids. So far we have not heard coarse language from donald trump here at this rally in tampa, but he is letting loose and going off on jeb bush as you may hear now, talking about all the money that jeb bush raised during his campaign, how much he spent and how it is not amounting to much in the polls. We will see if he brings up ted cruz and the feud they are having but so far he hasnt done it yet. He is dogging it now actually. You hear the boos in the background. Listen to what he had to say. Okay. Evangelicals in the united states. I won in new hampshire. I won with the evangelicals, we won. So find out. Yesterday, i just heard, we always talk about china and the president of china, our trading partner, our wonderful partner. They copy the f35 plane. Right . You know about that . You hear about that . You cant tell the difference. They copied our plane and they did more than that. I guarantee you they have everything they need right down to the most complicated mathematical solutions, all done, 100 , stolen off our web. And they thats right, hillary gave it. The guy says hillary did it. Maybe maybe it was stolen from the emails. Speaking of cruz, his campaign pulling the new ad today because it featured a previous adult film actress. You expect trump to seize on that as an opportunity tonight . Well, its certainly an opportunity for donald trump. He hasnt done it yet. We talked to his campaign earlier today. They didnt bring it up. It runs counc counter to some o cruzs strategy today which is to call attention to some of Donald Trumps coarse language. He was saying that earlier today. A little ridiculous for donald trump to come after me and ask about negative attacks when he cant control the language he uses on the campaign trail. Obviously theres an ad out there that is a little risque. That may be something that ted cruz is being asked about in South Carolina. And my understanding it came up earlier today when he was talking to reporters. This is vintage donald trump tonight, jim. We are inside an arena on the campus of the university of south florida that is packed all the way to the rafters. Roughly 10,000 people in here and donald trump is going through attack line after attack line, mentioning building a wall on the border with mex eco. These are the lines that his supporters come out to hear every night. Every one of these events he delivers them and the crowd eats it up. It is vintage donald trump here tonight. We can hear the Energy Behind you, jim. As we were mentioning not only does ted cruz has have the lawsuit over his head but also one of those campaign ads off the air after finding out it featured a former adult important actress. The cruz camp reacted to the latest attacks from trump. Politics and porn, all in a days work. I voted for a guy who was the Tea Party Hero on the campaign trail. Reporter this campaign ad is backfiring on ted cruz. Maybe you should vote for more than a pretty face next time. On the air waves less than 24 hour s and ranked off the air by a Cruz Campaign after it was revealed this actress in the ad is also an adult film star. Ame amy lindsay has appeared in movies with racy titles, insatiable desires and carnal wish. She landed a spot in an ad after auditioning in an open casting call and is disappointed in the Cruz Campaign for pulling it off the air. Shocking to be honest with you. Like what . Reporter ted cruz responded for the first time today putting blame on the casting company. Because we would not have cast her had we known that history. It was inadvertence in terms of the casting agency that we brought in the actors. The controversy as the Cruz Campaign in South Carolina is making a play for evangelical voters. Cruz trying to move past the episode while appearing as a conservative Christian University bob jones. We decided that prudence dictated pulling the ads. So we did. Amy sland is a Christian Conservative and an undecide voter herself. Deciding between donald trump or ted cruz. She said that she thinks the campaign was too skittish in pulling the ad to save face among evangelicals. I have gotten a lot of support on the right from people that the ted cruz may have acted hastily. Reporter cruzs team facing scrutiny from donald trump who tweeted ted cruz doesnt clean up his act, stop cheating and negative ads i am considering suing him. Cruz down played the threat and called it amusing. It is a more than a little irony of donald trump calling anyone that. Given what comes out of his mouth. Joining me to talk more about the cnn political commentator and washington correspondent for the new yorker, cnn political analyst and new york times. We have seen a lot in this campaign and havent yet seen the porn actress and now we have it. Is this a story of the day . Does it have a staying power . I it this has staying power because cruz took the ad down and turned it in to a bigger deal than it had to be. I mean, what do you think donald trump would have done if he ran an ad and they found out this actress had some racy movies . He would have said, no way im taking that down. Play it more times. Play it more times and frankly, his supporters would have cheered. I think cruz made a mistake here. He acted defensive and why cant this woman star in an ad that has absolutely no nothing to do with sex or anything in her past . I think it is completely ridiculous. Maggie, let me ask you because in terms of senator cruzs voting base, particularly in South Carolina, heavy reliance on evangelicals, i can imagine his thinking. Do you think this was a mistake, or makes sense in terms of who he is aiming for, particularly in the next primary i think he is worried about having every evangelical voter possible. Donald trump is leading in every poll handedly in some of them. He needs a perfect storm of votes. I think that what was in his mind when he did that. The language is absolute on certain topics and being a purist in the eyes of evangelical voters is one of them. I agree i think it made it a bigger story. I dont think we would have been talking about it if he had not pulled the ad. As always happens with donald trump, he senses weakness and moves in for the kill. Whats what you saw with the tweet. Talk about another weakness donald trump is sensing here. This tweet, lets show it, donald trump tweeting if ted cruz doesnt clean up his act stop cheating and doing negative ads i have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen. Lets start out legally. Does trump have legal ground to sta stand on a potential lawsuit . I think he does. What is clear a citizen, a voter does not have standing. You cant just walk in to court and say ted cruz is not eligible, excuse me, to run for president because he is not a natural born sit sinn. The courts are clear on that. In other similar circumstances like in state legislatures where one candidate maybe doesnt live in the district, the courts have said the opposing candidate does have standing to challenge him. I think trump does probably have standing. Now, i do think that on the merits trump would lose the case. I do think that ted cruz is eligible to be president , but if he were to file a lawsuit, that would probably bring ted cruzs campaign to a virtual stand still because federal courts dont deal with these issues overnight. It would take at least a month and probably longer than. We are in the middle of february. The delegates will be decided in the next few weeks. I think this is a threat that has some teeth. Thats you know jeffrey is a smart guy. He knows the law. Saying he has legal standing on this and two it could drag out, of course considering the next month we are coming in to with super toouz tuesday coming up. It is interesting because trump had been laying off of this for a while. He talked about cruzs citizenship in the past and dropped it for a bit. How serious do you think the prospect is for this cruz candidacy . The 4r5u9s that are out there right now, theres one in alabama and a couple of others. And they are just by voters. If trump wants this i think part of trumps Strategy Early on may have been encourage lawsuits by others to see if he could get traction. Jeffs analysis that those voters dont have standing so it has to be a candidate who would lose something to do it. You know, trump is unpredictable rable. I dont know if he will do it or not. He is at 35 in the polls in South Carolina. Hes close second place in iowa, smashing victory in new hampshire. He is sitting in good shape right now. Hes the most likely republican to win the nomination. I dont know if he necessarily needs to file a lawsuit to beat ted cruz. Maggie, you look at the tweet from trump. Its essentially a threat, right . Saying if he doesnt clean up his act hes going to sue him. Do you think its a sign the Trump Campaign is getting more concerned about going up against cruz in South Carolina . We talk about trump sensing weakness here, is this, in a way, a sign of weakness from the trump side . That they feel the need to do this. I think trump is sensing cruz is concerned and hes trying to keep the pressure on and trump is trying to make himself seem like the victim here. Trump is doing negative ads against me. He did this thing against ben carson who caused me votes in iowa which has been the stance for him for a while. They pulled the ad on wednesday and said we are going for a positive message. Tonight they are up with a tough ad. It is not against any other candidate. It is about undocumented immigrants and about a case where an undocumented immigrant killed a teenager in los angeles in 2008. Its a pretty tough ad. This is where trump is trying to make that others are going after him. Hes a victim of the establishment. I would be surprised, candidly, if a lawsuit is ever filed. He is unpredictable but he is predictable in that he doesnt like to spend his money in great amounts as he tells us and that would be costly. One final thought. I dont think it would be that costly. One thing that donald trump values is aggression. He files a lawsuit, let ted cruz try to explain. Let him try to defend he is a natural born citizen. That will occupy a lot of his time and energy and that would be a good thing for donald trump. Ill believe it when i see it. The legal aspect, soaking up a lot of oxygen. Great to have you on, as always. Coming up, the actress who was in that ted cruz ad who has some adult films on her resume. I will speak with amy lindsay about what he thinks of the fallout from the campaign ad. Next, questions about a photo that Bernie Sanders uses in his campaign. He says it shows him at a civil rights sit in but it may not be him after all. If a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists.

Now theres another moment that has a lot of people talking. As we mentioned earlier, ted cruz had to pull this attack ad against marco rubio. Does that make you angry . Makes me feel dumb for trusting him. Maybe you should vote more more than just a pretty face next time. The problem for the Cruz Campaign, the woman on the right is a softcore porn actress who starred in forbiddenen sins and indecent exposure and to be fair she appeared in a star trek episode. They blamed the agency for not vetting her properly cruz said they would not have cast her in the role if they had been aware of her history. The actress at the center of the controversy amy lindsay is joining me now. We appreciate you joining me for this. Thank you for having me. I want to make clear at the top for our viewers here, the kind of Adult Entertainment you were involved in was considered soft core Adult Entertainment to be clear. I wonder what went through your mind when you heard this ad was taken off the air. Everything i have done as been rated r. Nothing besides that. I was pretty shocked. The ad, i had never seen it come out. As soon as it was out, it was out and i was getting media calls right away. I was shocked to be honest with you. When you took the job for this ad, was there any indication that you know that the role of this was an ad for the Cruz Campaign . I knew it was an ad for a republican candidate. That much was clear from the writing. Obviously you saw the commercial. So like i said it was clear this was going to be a republican and conservative, which is who i am and what i stand for and believe in the message. So i was excited to be doing a commercial for a republican candidate. I want to get to that. Thats something our viewers should know. That you are a conservative republican. In doing an ad like, this was there any screening process . Did they ask you about your background, about the types of movies that you had done in the past or just sort of pick you for the role and slot you in . Well, you come in and audition and there are many, many people that are trying out for this role. They were handed my head shot and resume on the back. I dont know if anyone read it or looked at it. Someone recognized me from the commercial in about 30 seconds. So i wasnt hiding anything than did not ask me. Understood. To be fair, and again to our viewers, you have a long background in acting and we want to be clear thats not the only films and roles you have done. I want to play for you a little bit about what ted cruz said regarding this. Lets have a listen. It happened that one of the actresses, who was there, had a more colorful film history than we were aware. We had a casting call. She came and auditioned and we did not realize her film history when we did we decided prudence dictated pulling the ads so we did. To remind our viewers you describe yourself as a conservative republican. You are evaluating these candidates, including ted cruz as this happens. Do you think his campaign had a legitimate reason to take this ad down so quickly . Kudos to ted cruz for labelling it colorful. Clearly in the media the last couple of days i have been called different things. I will take it as a compliment. Ted cruz has handlers and media experts and they have every right to do what they feel is right to win this campaign. He has a job to do. I had a job to do. I have no beef or no hard feelings toward the campaign. To be honest with you, but at the same time i think it is an interesting slant, that people would look at, this is someone who could be a ted cruz voter. Thats not what you are hearing. You are hearing they are all white males over the age of whatever and christian fanatics and gun toting. Im a pretty liberal, socially leaning person but i do have my fiscally conservative views. I think that should be interesting. This is the face of the new republicans. That is what i would personally do with this whole attention. Before i let you go, do you have in a favorite candidate in this race at this point . I do. Are you going to tell us . Not today. Okay. Thats your right. Amy lindsay, we appreciate your taking time to answer our questions. Thank you so much for having me. Appreciate it. Questions about a photo that Bernie Sanders uses in his campaign. He says it shows him in a civil rights sit in but it may not be him after all. We will talk about that after this break. 72 of women say they often make healthy choices.
