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

"Donald J. Trump â€@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago
During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz."
I would imagine that Trump has some really good insider information.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/02/politics/ted-cruz-ben-carson-apology/index.html
“One day after winning the Iowa caucuses, Cruz issued an apology to Carson after his staff falsely told Iowa caucusgoers that Carson planned to quit the race, calling it a “mistake.”
There have been quite a few mistakes by the pious Cruz in the screwy Iowa debacle.
Go get him Donald!
Because he does have integrity.
He apologized for his campaign making a mistake based on the story from CNN, which CLEARLY said that Carson was going to Florida, and not going to NH and SC.
Why isn't Trump going after Rubio? I really think Rubio got most of Carson's leftover votes. He won big with younger people, who were Carson's voters.
Trump University students wanted a do over too...
Someone on Twitter passes on a rumor. It must be true.
I am rapidly souring on Trump. He was not my first choice but I appreciated the attention he brought to some things that REALLY needed to be talked about. Unfortunately, he is also a boorish ass who throws tantrums as often as I sneeze.
You can’t trust Cruz or his team. I have become more convinced of that as time goes by.
The last thing that the Republic party needs is to be seen screwing over a distinguished African American like Dr. Carson.
Cruz is hurting the GOP get out the AA vote.
That said Tricky Dick Cruz will get away with it.
So far
Cruz was a candidate before we knew he was born in Canada
Cruz “just forgot” his half Million GS loan on his disclosure form
Cruz “just forgot” his half Million Citi bank loan on his disclosure form
Cruz, forgot his support for Amnesty, before he opposed it
Cruz, lied Trump was for Obamacare, abortion and for Amnesty, clear lies.
Cruz, again lies he “didn’t Know” about lying about Dr. Carson suspending his campaign
Then there is that official looking report card everyone wants investigated as an election violation.
Tricky Dick Cruz, channeling Nixon. Creepy televangelist
This is quickly becoming a classical case study of political self destruction.
Exactly. Trump had a rally yesterday but said nothing about this.
A couple of morning tweets and the press goes into a frenzy. Instead of talking about his victory in Iowa Cruz will have to defend himself. His momentum is finished.
Trump will have another rally today and will probably just mention this in passing. This is a tactical move not an emotional reaction.
I just don’t understand why Cruz people are ok with this behavior. Since when is cheating and theft conservative values? I am stunned.
I would imagine Trump has an infantile aversion to not getting that to which he thinks he's entitled.
Trump is not going to let team Cruz skate away without some blow back.
Maybe Cruz is just confused from sleeping upside down all these years?
(*laugh*) I hadn't seen that one... it had me laughing like a maniac! :)
“You couldn’t see it coming?”
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!
