The day after accusing Ted Cruz of winning the Iowa caucuses unfairly and asking for a rematch in the state, Donald Trump says he's now over it.
"I'm so much into this, into New Hampshire, that I just â I don't care about that anymore," Trump said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper in Manchester, just five days out from next Tuesday's primary contest here. "This is the place I'm focused on now."
These comments, made at Theo's, a popular local pizza joint that serves up specialty Italian and Greek dishes, were in stark contrast to a tirade of angry tweets Trump sent out the day before, where he charged that the Texas senator had committed "fraud" in Iowa and called for a "new election."
The controversy started when CNN reported Monday night that Carson would go home to Florida following the Iowa caucuses instead of flying directly to the early voting states New Hampshire and South Carolina. The network added that he planned to stay in the race.
Some Cruz allies shared that news widely on the night of the caucuses, including to Carson supporters, but did not include the part about Carson remaining in the race.

He achieved his mission. Cruz has a cloud over his head regarding questions about his integrity coming out of Iowa. Also, Trump has moved on while Ted continues to whine about how Trump is “losing it” by wanting to bomb Denmark which indicates that Ted is losing it.
I know Ted has been running a “scorched earth” campaign. It’s just terrible what club Cruz did to Ben Carson!

I am thinking he is playing Cruz like a fiddle. Cruz’s snide remark about nuking Denmark shows Trump got under his skin. My bet is that today Iowa will not be mentioned unless someone asks him.
Really? What polls are those?
Now, I don’t believe polls, good or bad either way. But bearing false witness about “falling polls” (with Trump up 20 in latest poll in NH). So don’t make things up, any more than the pollsters make things up.
Let's see the timeline on Trump's concession of Cruz's OUTSTANDING AND BEAUTIFUL WIN IN IOWA
First, the Iowa voters were STUPID and it did not matter
Second, he tied for first and there should be a recount
Thirdly, OH the YUGE Manatee Dr. Carson has been smeared, NEW CAUCUS.... We want a do over, (stomping his feet like a lil petulant man child) .
Fourthly, Ehhhh, it does not matter, Fehhhh git about it.
Fifth, 3....2......1, Is anyone's guess with this man child narcissist.
It really depends on his Depends. Do they make him feel secure today or will his wee wee run down his leg into his man child loafers.
Trump is dilatant. He is not sincere. He is most likely a covert operator for the Dems
And he’s doing the bidding of the Dems
Boy all along I thought you were Hillary
Just KIDDING....Just KIDDING......COULD NOT RESIST....SIT BACK AND TAKE A BREATH.....
JUST KIDDING
CRUZIN with CRUZ to the White House
Trump is backing off because his poll numbers are dropping. People don’t like his antics. He is being advised to act like an adult because people are realizing that Carson kerfuffle is not Cruz’s fault. Cruz is such a good guy that he apologized anyway. Don’t forget Trump was polling ahead of everybody in Iowa but the polls were wrong weren’t they? The polls are wrong everywhere...
So you are saying the polls could not be wrong in Iowa, so Cruz pulled out a win by cheating.
Cruz is living rent free in Trump’s head right now. That doesn’t make a real estate guy happy. Trust me...Trump is becoming unhinged.
He’ll blow his top and throw a Trumpertantrum again, just like he did after he gave that classy concession speech on Monday. Tomorrow night is going to be fun.
Trump is not worth billions of dollars because he is stupid. Stupid would be forgetting to disclose the loan you got from Goldman sachs, however, for Cruz, he can go one level more stupid by aligning himself with Goldman in the first place. Oh wait, that’s right, his wife is a Goldman vp.
Crazy! He is a very reactionary man.
I know he reacted so quickly, he didn’t even bother to call Carson for a verification!
>>Read post 14. We submariners get what he is up to. Maybe you should go spend some time and “think of it.”
We need to start a Bubbleheads for Trump group.
When The Art of the Deal came out, it was extremely popular on my boat. Everyone was reading it and talking about it. I had no interest in business, so I didn’t read it at first, but eventually I did because I was stuck in Maneuvering with 3 guys who did for 6 out of every 18 hours. I remember thinking, “wow, this guy is brilliant” as I read the book. He understands business and psychology and he knows how to make both work to his advantage.
