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.

"Trumper Tantrum"

Trump-Twitter-Tantrum.

And Hannity just played the whole CNN report that came out one hour before the caucus started-That report made it absolutely look like Carson was getting out of the race- Which is no one's fault but Carson's.

And Trump, who has been the loudest critic of the media- He has nothing to say about CNN's -NOT Cruz's -"dirty trick". Tells you all you need to know about Trump.

You know as well as I know that the Cruz campaign lied and combined that with the Cruz's memo pretty much lying. Cruz should fire someone like this guy from the campaign. He doesn't, he likely approves of it. Cruz has others all the time do his dirty work so he can stand back. For one example Glenn Beck.

"This guy" who works for Cruz.

No doubt about it.

I’d just as soon this election season didn’t get ‘tabloid juicy’ but we, the voters have no control over that. We can only hope they don’t disgrace us too badly. (the 0bamas were plenty bad enough)

Times like this, I kinda wish I *did* smoke dope. At least, it would be easier to laugh.

I have noticed that one of his personal bodyguards looks a lot like Luca Brasi.

Well, he is working for the Don.

Hannity is the equivalent to a political radio Disney for the establishment.

Come on.

I haven’t followed closely, but I thought I saw headlines about Trump saying that he has a heart about immigrants and wouldn’t deport them, and that he wanted universal healthcare where the government just takes care of us. If he wants to replace Obamacare with universal healthcare how is that a good thing? And saying to have a heart for immigrants and not deport them - it just seemed like a turnabout from what he started out saying.

Like I said, I have not followed this closely. I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio. I don’t take a newspaper or magazines. I just see headlines in passing and either click or don’t. So I knew nothing about any Cruz or Trump ads. But I started wondering what Trump was doing. I knew he’d have to veer left for NH; the candidates always do. But these things seemed to undo what he had been talking about. Same thing with when he criticized Cruz for “not getting along with others” and not knowing how to “make the deal” - saying you can’t just call Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor. It was so different than the outsider-coming-to-clean-up-the-mess reputation he was trying to build on

I don’t know who Donald Trump is any more.

My life has been chaotic so I don’t look closely into a lot of things these days but being snowed in these last 2 days tempted me to waste time and I wasted time checking out this story of Cruz being a lying snake, and it just doesn’t pan out. Yet no matter what evidence I’ve presented I get the same response from the Trump people and it’s really scaring me. I’ve defended Trump, Cruz, and Carson, but what I’ve seen in the last couple days really scares me, because it seems like party spirit has totally drowned out a thirst for truth.

I’ll happily stand by my childish digs.

As long as Trump keeps standing by his childish antics, games, gimmicks, threats and other silly childish forms of amusement.

If you (and Trump) want a “good argument for debate”, you’re going to have to do a lot better than this Iowa nonsense.

CNN news story is not, by any definition, “cheating.”
______________________

No but Cruz jumped on what he knew to be a false story and ran with it to try and bring Donald down.

Your tagline illustrates the problem in a nutshell:
(Is Ted Cruz a US Citizen? Yeah? Then Shut Up and Vote for Him.)
We’re not even sure Cruz *is* a US citizen.
Much less a “natural born citizen” as required (no, it’s not optional) by the US (not Canadian) Constitution.
He bailed on his Canadian citizenship after deciding he would like to be the first foreign born US president, and it’s not at all clear that he ever applied for US citizenship.
Of course his Dad was a Cuban Castro `freedom fighter” and it looks like Mom renounced her US citizenship for Canuckistan, but someone sealed her records, so who knows?
It’s deja vu all over again.

In any event, the Cruz’s are basically a family of Cubanadians. You can shut up and vote for him if you want. Most of us will vote for the American.

No. The CNN story was that Carson was not going to NH or SC. A story which matches the empty campaign event schedule on his official campaign website. That’s what Cruz’s campaign told their internal people.

CNN tried to claim that they said he was taking a break to FL instead of going DIRECTLY to NH or SC - implying that he was intending to go to NH or SC after stopping home in FL. But that is NOT what they reported, and that does NOT fit what is on Carson’s campaign website.

So CNN is lying to try to feed the “Cruz lied” meme. Exactly what I would expect by a news company that provides manpower for the GOPe’s plan of a brokered convention by raising up Rubio and bringing down Trump and Cruz.

Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th Century. He was everything a great leader needs to be. Sure, he had some minor faults. One of his greatest traits was that he did not mince words and was unafraid to to make difficult decisions.

What Churchill did not have was any significant character flaws, unlike Donald Trump.

“I don’t know who Donald Trump is any more.”

You got it. I’ve come to the same realization.

I get the feeling he’s pretending about who he is, and I don’t believe he’s a true conservative.

Thanks. Not trying to give you a hard time, but was it hard to see on your screen?

Today is Wednesday.

To know what Trump believes you will have to keep score of what he believes for at lest a week, then if Trump believes the same thing on two different days in one week you are allowed to say this is what Trump believes until he changes his mind then you are required to say he never believed it.

Got it.
