TRUMP: I will 'probably' sue because Ted Cruz cheated in Iowa
AOL News /Boston Herald ^ | Feb 3rd 2016 1:19PM | Pam Engel

After accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of "illegally" stealing a win from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'll "probably" sue over the results of the vote.

Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio

When asked if he would file a formal complaint over the caucuses' results, Trump replied, "probably."

"What [Cruz] did is unthinkable," Trump said, later stating that Cruz was a "really fraudulent" character.

Earlier in the day, Trump fired off a raging tweetstorm accusing Cruz of cheating in Iowa. Trump even suggested the Republican Party take the unprecedented step of holding a do-over election in Iowa or nullifying Cruz's results.

Ted should be thanking Trump. This will give Cruz a chance to prove himself innocent of breaking any campaign laws in a court. Otherwise, it is just Cruz claiming he is innocent.

“I’m laughing at you guys!”

So you are here responding to people you say are responding to Trump’s Tweets. But somehow that makes you different even though you are doing the same thing. makes sense.

Does he seriously think this will help him?

Yes. The point is to say something that eats up each news cycle.

Trump says: Ted Cruz can't be POTUS because he's Canadian. The media spends a week talking about it.

Trump says: Ted Cruz cheated in Iowa. The media will spend until Saturday talking about it.

At the NH debate, Trump will accuse Cruz of something else. The media will spend its time on that accusation.

If there is a lull in the coverage, Trump will say something about Megyn Kelly or some other "journalist" so the media can focus on that instead.

The common theme is the media talks about Trump for free while repeating the nasty accusation regardless of the merits.

I’ve seen a number of posts that indicate some Trumpites are having serious second thoughts. If those are just that have posted their potential or actual change of hearts, there must be many more thinking the same thing.

This pretty much has made my decision for me. I was waffling on whether or not I could support Trump, because I just have not been comfortable with some of his statements and switching positions. But this? No more. I think he is forgetting that he is not a democrat. He is acting exactly like a thin-skinned liberal. No thanks.

Neeeext!

Let Trump sue me.

I’m judgment-proof.

The truth kinda hurts.

If cry-baby Trump can’t take his lumps, pretty soon he’ll be a solo act.

Carson told CNN he would not be going to NH or SC, and his campaign website shows the same thing. No campaign events at all. Why tell CNN that, knowing they would report it, if you wanted your supporters to think their votes for you wouldn’t be wasted?

His NH staff all quit Sunday, saying they love him but need to work with somebody who can win - so they joined the Cruz campaign. I’ve posted the details elsewhere, but it seems to me that he probably told those staffers that he was going to step down this week, and Cruz’s team confirmed from these people (who are now in the Cruz campaign) that this is what Carson had told them, that led to their switching camps. There was a now-deleted tweet where one of Cruz’s big guys said they had confirmed with Carson’s NH people Carson’s plan to leave the race.

Why go home for a change of clothes? It all just seems like Carson was going to end the candidacy this week but when CNN actually aired that he was acting like he’d bow out, by not going to NH or SC, he changed his mind. Once he did that he had to blame somebody, so he first blamed CNN and then blamed Cruz. The Cruz camp didn’t want to get the NH staffers in trouble as confirming what Carson then changed his mind on so instead of making trouble Cruz apologized for not updating the story when Carson indicated he wasn’t quitting.

The only campaigning Carson has been doing now is going on the media shows that hate Cruz and blaming him for passing on Carson’s plans to not go to NH or SC (and his campaign website STILL has no campaign events listed)

The exit polls showed that a LOT of people decided late who they were going to vote for, and Trump turned liberal for the NH crowd already on Sunday, talking about universal healthcare. The people who broke late turned away from Trump, and I suspect it was because of that liberal turn too soon.

“They don’t want Cruz to lie to them”

Did he? Just because trump said so doesn’t make it true.

“If there’s fraud, he needs proof.”

If there’s a suit, then the proof will be brought or the suit will fail.

This is all about people catering to Trump’s ego.

Every other word out of his mouth is BS.

The man is genius at self-promotion but he lacks the discipline of a seasoned politician.

That’s where its gonna hurt him.

Oh man.

Is this so hard?

Trump didn’t lie about Carson and he didn’t send out voter shaming letters.

Trump lost to a dirty trickster. What you fail to grasp is how numb you are to it. When it happens, you’re like okay.

When it happens to Trump, he’s like Bullshit! and fights back.

Who do you want in the general election when the Dems pull every voter fraud play in the book? Someone who slinks away like the endless list of GOP candidates past and present or a guy who’s going to bring the full power he wields down on their heads to take back what’s his?

I don’t get you guys. To me your short sighted if not blind.
