Accusing Senator Ted Cruz of voter fraud, Donald Trump today argued that Mr. Cruz "stole" the election in Iowa.
"That is why all of the polls were so wrong, and why he got far more votes than anticipated," Mr. Trump said on Twitter, suggesting no one predicted that Mr. Cruz would win:
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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
Mr. Trump then went further, saying Mr. Cruz committed fraud, suggesting that Cruz's campaign suggesting that Ben Carson would drop out amounted to fraud, as did his campaign's mailers about "voting violations:"
Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
Trump is right. I’m done with cruz.
e.g.: "That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!"
It's a rhetorical and propaganda device that a lot of his supporters on FR have also adopted.
Trump is a narcissist and petulant a-hole. I’ve seen 3rd graders more civil.
Not only is this man’s temperament unsuited for the Oval Office, he’s never spent a day or a dollar in the trenches for conservative causes. Total fraud.
Not sure, folks. There has to be something to these tweets. After his tweet about spending all his money and the voters don’t appreciate it....I wonder if he’s doing this to get out of the race??
Say hello to Nominee Rubio and President Bernie
Trump didnt win Iowa either. But its nice hes using the same argument my 4th grader uses when he loses a contest. Very presidential.
Yep. I hope he goes nastier and even more idiotic.
Why shouldn't Trump make it an issue? All of it is absolutely true. So Cruz, wrapped in piety is blameless no matter what? I keep reading the eminent domain posts, the lying Obamacare posts, the business loan posts and such - all posted and posted again about Trump. When is Cruz, the supposed spirit-filled candidate ever going to be held accountable for his array of carnage.
That childish BS isn’t hurting Cruz. The Iowa rout showed that.
It is sealing Trump’s chances AGAIN, just like in 2000.
It’s obvious...Trump can’t handle Megyn Kelly = cancel debate appearance. Trump can’t handle Ted Cruz = blame Ted for stealing the election.
This ahole is unhinged and would be a horrible/dangerous president!
What a sniveling snot sucker.
Yeah Trump is against ObamaCare and socialized medicine.
Its just that Scotland’s system superior and we ‘gotta take of people’.
Exit question— Did Scotland participate in the recent doctor strike in the UK?
I really dont know, but assume so.

Whining on Twitter about how your opponent's victory should be "nullified" is not "fighting back."
Rumblings of a third party run?
He does need to worry about Cruz. I really never looked into the people supporting Ted until this week.
NEOCONS
Closely connected with CIA , NSA, and Banking
AND...those tied to Bush.
Surprise Surprise.
Thank you for your investigative skills and ....”CONCERN” LOL!/////
When is Trump going to be held accountable for his array of carnage?
Ah, shut up, Donald. No wonder he has a 60% unfavorable rating.
But one thing is for certain - (most) Americans hate a sore loser.
I hope his advisors read this.
