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

Uh oh Cruz the BS’er got his hand caught in the cookie jar.
“If you think stealing is a conservative trait then I guess you are lost.”
Just because your deity Trump said he stole it, doesn’t make it true.
“Sour Faster”
lolol. Great Answer!
But Hey. Trump can only Tweet so much. Give him time (rope). The more this campaign progresses, the more Trump will self destruct.
So THIS is the great “general” so many here on FR think is some kind of Alpha male who will lead America back to greatness?
Trumpettes, your guy is imploding.
Whatever happened to the “politics ain’t beanbag” attitude you Trump supporters used to relish?
If Cruz team cheated, and it kind of sounds like they did, I would expect Trump to go after his team.
My God. It is 100 percent true. Cruz admitted it. Sheesh you guys are blind by your lust for the guy that you are willing to allow any immoral behavior at all.
A number of people here were extolling The Donald’s hardball tactics, playing to win, take no prisoners etc etc etc.
He can dish it out, but he clearly can’t take it. Not presidential material.

Trump, sign this pledge. Trump, we don’t want you no matter what, even if you did sign our pledge.
Personally, with the response of the Cruz folks and others towards folks like me, I wish Trump had run 3rd party. It truly would have cut through this kind of stuff present in your post.

This seems to fit Trump's evidently prepared-ahead-of-time reaction to Iowa. {movie clip here)
He admitted it. Stop lusting over Cruz and get a brain. It is embarrassing. If Cruz was so confident he’d win, why did he cheat or even release the e-mail? He is a disgrace to conservatives. But you will blindly support him so I guess there is no discussion necessary.
We’ll see... as they say, there is no such thing as bad press. If the next 7 days political news are about Should there be another recount and Cruz’s dirty pool on announcing Carson dropped out Vs 7 more days of love in for Rubio and Cruz.. Trump wins.
Trump pretty much just interrupted and changed all the pundit and talking head narratives.
He’s spending his own money, so it probably mentally hurts a guy who’s spent his entire life amassing a fortune to see it blown on less than desirable results. I bet Bush doesn’t have that problem. Maybe he should start taking in substantial monies from donors to spend?
He needs to let it go and move ahead. The one who should be upset is Carson. No one will ever know how many votes he lost to Cruz for the campaigns action in caucus. Anyone with honesty has to admit some votes were lost to Carson by this. It would not be too Christian to lie about that.
Considered in the context of Donald Trump's whole biography, he is unwittingly revealing himself by these tweets to be a sociopath which is one step beyond narcissist, beyond petulance, beyond ordinary cruelty. Donald Trump is revealing himself to be possessed of grave personality flaws that should give any prudent person pause before allowing him anywhere near our nuclear arsenal.
Elections are Sunday church service.
Sometimes I think Trump just entered the race for publicity and is TRYING to lose, only to have ignorant morons support him more and more each time he makes another idiotic comment.
It feels a bit like “The Producers”.
“My God. It is 100 percent true. Cruz admitted it.”
Cruz admitted he stole Iowa? I haven’t seen that one anywhere.
I dunno. I guess I see the point of taking away the Rubio Rubbing, but... what a way to do it.
Andrew Breitbart, 2011:
“...Of course, he’s not a conservative. He was for Nancy Pelosi, before he was against Nancy Pelosi...celebrity is everything in this country if these guys don’t learn how to play the media the way Barack Obama played the media last election cycle and the way that Donald Trump is playing the election cycle–we’re going to probably get a celebrity candidate.”
Sad to see Andrew’s legacy stained by the current owners of his brand’s failure to heed its founders words.
