Donald Trump: 'Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it'; Update: Trump calls for new Iowa caucus
Twitchy.com ^ | 2/3/2016 | Twitchy Staff

Posted on 02/03/2016 7:36:29 AM PST by reegs

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

I could have written your post (but not as well or concisely). You are correct: Cruz is not going to clean the swamp in DC if he won, nor can he win.

Everyone thought Nixon was “big” and “presidential” for keeping quiet about the evidence he had post election that Kennedy rigged it and won that way. I’m about truth. Whether it says good or bad about my candidate. Maybe a lot of things would have been different if America was trusted with the truth about “Camelot.”

Cruz is not impressing me as much as he once did. It’s easy to mock the rich bombastic guy. The ones who cloak themselves in religious robes, though, sometimes use that to get away with stuff.

Dirty tricks should not be tolerated at the time of voting.

It will just encourage more of it, and give the dems cover to say “ well I was ok when Cruz did it”.

Trick Dick Cruz will have every word of his from now on scrutinized for Tricks, lies, ommisions.

Cruz makes Crooked Nixon look like a choir boy.

He’s just practicing for having to say this to Hillary in the general election. It proves he’s the perfect candidate./FR Trump supporter.

The Donald can be a heck of a battering ram, would someone please point him back at the enemy preparing to completely destroy this country.

It’s one lousy delegate! This is beneath any serious candidate. If Trump doesn’t win NH we may see the complete meltdown many have predicted. Very sad.

He’s gonna have to. Any staffer involved with that Tweet needs to GO, and if Trump himself did it, he needs to change up.

Is a re-do going to help anything? Obviously, Carson will not win. So Trump wants to win on a vote split? Sounds like a loser to me.

Don't get me wrong, what's done is done. Cruz should be hit by the other candidates for the tactics, but the caucus is over.

That said, if the tactic swayed four votes in each precinct from Carson to Cruz, then without the tactic Cruz might have lost. Carson wouldn't have won, but the votes he would have kept from the voters Cruz deceived would have at least narrowed the difference between #1 and #2.

So nobody, including Trump, is claiming that any of the votes would have gone to Trump. Only that less votes would have gone to Cruz.

This exposes Trump's novice status when it comes to being a politician. IMO, ALL politicians are liars, cheats, and backstabbers. All of them. Trump just isn't as polished, subtle, or as good at it as more experienced, groomed politicians like Cruz and Rubio.

I guess I missed that Trump Tweet that Trump sent out.

You also missed that @realDonaldTrump is an intern. It's on this thread.

The butthurt is strong with this one.

You don’t get do-overs, Don. That’s how Democrats behave.

Oh, wait.

I am sure Trump has some evidence that Cruz has used unconstitutional means to win the Iowa caucus. He will reveal the proof at the appropriate time.

After screwing Dr. Carson, Hillary will get a huge AA vote thanks to Cruz.

Not double standard at all.

Cruz was a Constitutional scholar (cough) and had to go to the Supreme Court and convince Kennedy one way or the other on various cases. Yes for some reason he never got a ruling on his birth in Canada......and even worse he didn’t question whether he should drop his Canadian citizenship until he decided to run for President......those are important questions.

As far as the fraud that Cruz did in Iowa, that is a different topic that Cruz needs to be punished for. Saturday night HOPEFULLY he will be by the other candidates.

he is all that, but for him and his glorious Art of the Deal, I win, win, win......etc.....(uh! lost out of the 1st gate, but who's looking).

Anyone now who wants to do business with Trump knows he is bluffing his way through.....Ailes called his Bluff. Trumps veil has been rended.....and the WIZ is not

Trump now making that call to Ford Motor Co., I don't think it's going to go as Trump first thought...

Trump exposed himself when he tells how he handles people... But then he say he don't want his Generals on TV saying things..DUH!

This is in the same vein as skipping the debate because he doesn’t like one of the moderators. Very childish.

“It’s one lousy delegate!”

Now its only one delegate???

But I Cruz’s camp engaged in a scam to turn votes like this, then he should not have ANY delegates.

CNN hosts the DT rally, then puts out leak of Carson taking a snooze at home. Ok! DT is an expert at subterfuge.

As are all those great people he knows from his experience at New York real estate and building ALL OVER THE WORLD. will he sell those and bring the business to the States?

Sure he will.

At the same time he'll release all that intel he has about Obama's birth certificate.

“I’m slowly souring on Trump, if this is how he acts.”

Not me....best election cycle ever!!

Blow it up Trump. He shouldn’t even have to be dealing with these ineligibles.
