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 can’t believe that FReepers STILL take this guy seriously.
We're desperate. The Republican Party and all of the candidates are a joke. Trump was the only hope to 'blow the thing up.'
Just who inflated the balls?
The fact that Cruz’s people admitted to doing it, albeit feigning innocence, and Cruz “apologized”, means there is some smoke over some fire.
And the problem here is it is Dr. Carson who has been damaged. Instead of getting upset about Trump or Cruz and their back and forth, I am upset for Dr. Carson...he has a legitimate gripe. I think he needs some recompense for the damage.
He did cheat Carson out of votes. It may not have affected Trump but it was still wrong. This should be Carson’s fight though.
Tons of Ted Cruz folks ranting & raving on this site. Ted Cruz is going nowhere!!! WHY? Because he is just like the folks on this site...radical....add lunatic, ego-maniac, Glenn Beck to the brew and you end up with “Nutcases” galore. Ted Cruz cannot come close to winning a general election...never!!! And, any Republican or Conservative that believes he can, is drinking far too much Kool-Aid. Folks....this political race has just begun....I’ll hold my fire through the month of March...when we will have a much better picture & idea of what is truly happening!!! I am a most devout, dedicated Roman Catholic, but Ted Cruz reminds me of “Elmer Gantry”....and, I do not want what Ted “Elmer Gantry” is selling!!!
Stealing? Talk about hyperbole. The Cruz campaign shared a breaking story that was on TV. They didn't make up the story and give it to CNN. That the story turned out to be incorrectly reported was unfortunate, but it hardly constitutes stealing.
Trump needs to move on. Iowa is now history and he needs to concentrate on Hillary and Sanders.
Oh, please. Trump please move on and get over it! This is getting really old.
Thank you. For some reason that song, “son of a Preacher man” keeps running through my head.
I think a bunch of us smelled a rat in Iowa.
Lol, he’s just controlling the media cycle and disrupting the Cruz campaign.
Cruz and his dirty tricks are probably not illegal. But it’s a good tactic to put him on the defensive.

Ever read The “True Believer” by Eric Hoffer?
You would make a fine case study.
Your god is now a LOSER for all to see.
Deal with it.
“I’m slowly souring on Trump, if this is how he acts.”
I said earlier that I don’t like his foul mouth in front of audiences either.
How obnoxious....for liberty!
He’s so masterful 2/3 of new voters Monday voted for someone other than Donnie.
I these parts the saying is ‘that dog don’t hunt!’
“Tons of Ted Cruz folks ranting & raving on this site”
You would think I this is so overblown, then they would just ignore it.
Hell I this will harm Trump, then why get in the way?
