Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz hit back Wednesday on Twitter after rival Donald Trump unleashed a torrent to posts - a "Trumpertantrum," the senator called it - saying that he "stole" the Iowa caucuses and calling for a new round of voting.

Made ME laugh. LOL
Rove can kiss my ass, but I believe that info was out there from another source.
I didn’t check that source, so it may have been him too.
The numbers should be easy enough to check.
Evidently Rubio was doing it too.
Between them it may have taken half the votes for two teams to toss the results on their head.
“This particular remark of Ted has Trump supporters angered:
“We’re liable to wake up one day and Donald, if he were president, would have nuked Denmark,—
I’m surprised they would be angered by a polite humorous statement that points out that Trump is nuts and shouldn’t have his finger any where near the “button”. Senator Cruz didn’t even say anything about Trump taking those “3am” phone calls, what a disaster that would be..
“The Cruz folks came out slinging Tuesday morning and haven’t let up since.”
The Trump folks have come out slinging crap, just like “The Donald”, every morning for months.
There are folks who get exactly what I mean.
There no jubilation on Tuesday morning.
Thread after thread of very angry people, and it wasn’t Trump’s people I entered threads with perhaps two or three Trump supporters in the first 15 posts, and the tone was shockingly bad for folks whose guy just won.
It hasn’t gotten any better either.
Your guy is busy calling for a do-over and threatening to sue. His actions are poison.
Open your eyes.
Rove is a tool, but he knows where the skeletons are.
I’ve heard Rubio was doing to, but no one seems to be talking that much about it. Maybe because evangelical votes would naturally go to Cruz.
4 votes per precinct. It’s a slam-dunk they’d turn that many.
And Ted Cruz apologized because?
Seems that way to me also.
I do not want Rubio.
I think Cruz is a mistake, but Rubio would be a disaster.

I must be on a different FR than you. But it’s not just here.

From day one of this presidential season, I’ve had 4 candidates I’ve openly discussed in a positive light (each for different reasons): Cruz, Carson, Paul and Trump.
Although I do not believe Trump to be a Constitutional Conservative, I’ve always admired his courage and LOVED it when he challenged the establishment. I understand his supporters and their outrage.
But a small number of Trump’s people have become delusional, detached from reason and sanity.
...
The Carson supporters are always polite, much like their candidate. The Paul supporters are always kind, firm and principled.
But in the past four days, a contingent of Trump supporters have called me a communist, a liberal, an establishment insider and a RINO.
Do they not know history? Do they not care to know history? Is such ignorance common in our system? Or is it just a knee-jerk reaction? Does his record matter? Does mine? How does this happen?
I’ve been in political office for 9 years. Before that, I was a conservative commentator and activist. I’ve spent 2 decades fighting for conservative causes. I’ve never backed away from a fight, and I’ve never abandoned my principles. At no time in my life have I been called a communist, liberal, establishment insider or RINO.
Such reckless and blind loyalty to a personality concerns me greatly.
To my sane Trump friends, can you kindly explain?
Please point out where I identified my "master" and how I defended his / her dirty tricks.
There's almost no difference between the two anyway.
Duffey, I don’t have a beef with you, but it is pointless to try to discuss issues.
I tried for eight months.
Sorry...
I think Cruz is better on immigration if you can believe him.
its getting rather thick over there on twitter isn’t it.
Obviously by attacking only Trump supporters — that means you are a Cruz-bot, and I use the term Cruz-bots for Cruz supporters who attack Trump supporters. I don’t care if someone favors Cruz, we all have our favorites; it is when they feel compelled to attack EVERYONE that likes Trump that irritates me.
“Duffey, I don’t have a beef with you, but it is pointless to try to discuss issues.

I don’t believe you know the issues regarding Trump or are not willing to face them. They are very apparent this afternoon. And it’s duffee, but you know that.
Sorry gor the inadvertent misspelling.
Politics is a tough sport. Dirty tricks go on all the time. Some you can fight against--request a recount, for example. Get poll watchers. Some you can't. Slander. Lies. Misleading statements. It's a blood sport, and you have to pick where and when to fight. Complaining that lies about Carson gave the victory to Cruz instead of Trump are pretty iffy and smack of someone not prepared to play the game the way it needs to be played. Better to expose Cruz as a guy who is not a boy scout like some people think he is. That may hurt him down the line.
