Twitchy.com ^ | 2/3/2016 | Twitchy Staff

Donald Trump just accused Ted Cruz of stealing the Iowa caucuses over the Cruz campaign's admission that it helped spread a rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!

--SNIP--

Update 2. Oh boy:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified. 9:28 AM - 3 Feb 2016

So, calling into question and hammering Cruz’s eligibility is totally OK, but surmising Carson dropping out by a stupid move to skip New Hampshire is not OK? I just want to make sure I understand your double standards.

I will vote for either, but he has to knock this off and move on.

That “Nasty Cruz” appellation fits

Cruz would bring out the African American vote for Hillary after this screwing over Nice Dr. Carson.

Trick Dick Cruz showed his true colors.

Here’s how he could recover.

Certainly he does not write his own tweets, he has a staffer.

Publicly renounce the staffer and the tweet, and quietly pay the staffer a fat bonus to fall on their sword.

The whole emphasis on Iowa is over-stated. But, Trump calling foul when their were dubious characteristics of the caucus is certainly valid.

Agreed. Anyone with the juice to bend his ear and let him know this ain't the way?

Trump is about to bury the competition in New Hampshire and some of these clowns think he’s jump the shark. The evidence is out there that Cruz and his team played a lying trick to get votes from Carson supporters. That’s a fact.

Trump calls for new Iowa caucus

Because that's perfectly rational.

Calling foul is fine.

Calling for a re-do is stupid and unworkable.

Tricky Dick Cruz, channeling Nixon. Creepy televangelist

Doesn't help that he looks like grandpa Munster and appears to have less testosterone than Joyce Meyer.

This is actually smart politics by Trump.

Whining about wanting a do-over after losing is not EVER "smart politics." This may come as a startling revelation, but Trump is now proving he just isn't quite as brilliant as he and his followers believe him to be.

DT could have stuck to canned rally speeches and STOP making these completely unforced errors that NH will look askance at. I’m convinced, as of today, that he was commissioned to throw the election to Rubio. DT has been making ‘taking marbles home’ comments for a solid ten days now.

You Trump supporters: you sure you want to help elect Marco?

Have a feeling he will take charge of his campaign from here on out.

All those who said zero won't leave in January are going to be right because DangerousDonalDTrump (DDT) will make every loss an algorian recount/redo.

Iowa caucus FINAL results as of now

Lol, he's just controlling the media cycle and disrupting the Cruz campaign.

I see no evidence that the Cruz campaign is being affected by Trump's tantrum. And I think being seen as a sore loser could seriously hurt Trump - not with his core supporters, but with those he is trying to win over. Many will either actively turn against him, or more likely they will just start to tune out the constant stream of insults and whining.

Now Don-o, we need to have compassion toward those who are coming to grips with their trumpmania syndrome. There will be more and we need to be understanding!

Yes, we need to give them orange juice and cigarettes, like they do in music festival chill out tents, for the kids who did too much acid.

I am not voting for the school yard bully for president.

It is like Trump wants it way or he will sue you.

Enough of this gas bag for me.
