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

No one on the Cruz team lied - they just passed on the news. Trump lost on his own - he can't blame it on cheating. Deal with it. Trump is coming across as a whiny baby, and from what I see on the Net, people are getting fed up with it.
Yup. He’s going through the five stages of grief.
For a man for whom winning is life, losing comes as a rude shock.
It may be more than he can take.
If Trump can’t deal rationally with loss, how he is going to cope with the pressure of being President?
We’re witnessing Trump melt-down full mode, like Ross Perot did.
Politics ain’t bean-bag.
If Trump didn’t know that back in July, then he should have known popularity is fickle.
You can be liked today and hated tomorrow.
I've seen the tweet and video in post #302 several times and they in no way claim that Carson was quitting the campaign, only that he was taking a break.
What we never see is any indication that the Cruz campaign was responsible and ethical enough to clarify the rumors with the Carson campaign before they used it fraudulently to try and swing votes from Carson to Cruz.
Yup - someone like that should never be allowed near a position of great responsibility.
We’re seeing vintage Trump - the guy who gets back when he’s wounded.
Dangerous to have for a friend and dangerous to have for an enemy.
Just like Ross Perot. If Trump loses NH, I see him dropping out of the race.
Post-Iowa NH poll has Trump up by 24.
Click on the pic to watch Bill Still explain the illegality of the Cruz dirty tricks. :)
Clas-D felonies in Iowa.
Say it ain't so, Cruzers!
No, you Cruzers are the babies. Always whining about Trump every day every night, and twenty four hour, seven days a week. You have a flawed candidate who has weakness to not tell the truth and that can be deadly to a campaign when it gets caught. You should admit it and deal with it.
You better read it again!
It came straight from CNN.
See my post #448. :)
Respectfully, do you see how irrational you sound in this rant?
I disagree. For the small gain you cite, the loss of gravitas is huge.
Well, why don't you copy and paste, or provide an exact quote from the video where it is said the Carson was quitting the campaign?
It should be easy to do.
Speaking of phony, have you seen these Cruz videos?
The real Rafael Cruz? You be the judge.

Excuse my typo. I meant YYYUUUUGE.
There’s several months of whining by you guys. It’s all over the place on FR. You are blind then if you do not see it.
BTW, this story brought out by Carson and now Trump is going viral everywhere.

"Some people are just power-hungry, dear."
You misspelled "YUGE!!!". LOL! :)
We'll see. I'm enjoying watching the Cruzers running around trying to put out the fire.
