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 — 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.

One day later..
I don't care about that anymore....
Hey I hope he doesn’t.
It’s up to us to chose what is worth getting angry at and spending energy on.
What happened in Iowa is not. That is something between other people.
Trump needs to focus on his campaign.
You see. I’m like that. I go ballistic on a thread about something and then 20 minutes later forgot i posted to that thread.
And there are some here who think i’m nuts! (they’re right)
But I’m not running for POTUS!!
Cruz’s so-called victory is tainted now ... Cruz was forced to apologize to Carson ... it’s over ...Cruz has been fully discredited
Trump will not be able to keep his cool during the debate on Saturday night.
You have made me scratch my head a few times. :)
I Don’t Care Anymore.

LOL!
Because he already accomplished his intentions.....media coverage and of course interviews.....this was and isn’t about Cruz....it’s about whatever will pull the media back to Trumps doorstep.....and to do that he had to create ‘drama’ and say outrageous things about Cruz.....doesn’t matter to him if true or not....as long as the end result is the same...he’s in front of a camera.
The Republicans Who Helped Obama Ruin the Country Support Donald Trump
Let us not be naive or willfully ignorant about what is happening. Donald Trump has a far longer history of affiliation with Democrats and Democrat causes than he does conservative, populist, or Republican causes. See him and hear him for yourself in his own words. Even in the first debate of Campaign 2016, Trump supported government run, Canadian style universal healthcare. There is no difference between his position on that and Bernie Sanders’ position.
Trump has long supported abortion rights. He has called for higher taxes and gun control. He has defended Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Donald Trump funded the Democrats against the tea party in 2012 and the establishment Republicans against the conservatives in 2014.
Now in 2016, the Republican consultant class and RINOs in Washington are lining up behind Donald Trump. They are doing so to stop the only guy who has put points on the board against them — Senator Ted Cruz. But it is not just Cruz. These Republican consultants and elected officials are lining up behind Trump over Senator Marco Rubio. In fact, the Republicans who most aggressively support expansive immigration and open borders are rallying to Trump, not Rubio.
Trump supporters are deluding themselves through blind rage and emotion. The guys in Washington know that Trump, who just last year supported universal healthcare and two years ago supported Mitch McConnell against conservatives, can be reasoned with in a way Cruz cannot.
This should be a damning indictment against Donald Trump in Campaign 2016. The very Republicans who have collaborated with Barack Obama to grow the national debt, keep immigration expansive, fund Planned Parenthood, and fund Obamacare are on Team Trump against Ted Cruz.

He FIGHTS like everything to win the Presidency on " building a wall and sending the illegals back home." THEN... he becomes President Trump and says " I don't feel that way about the wall any more."
Hmmmmmmmmmmthink hard America. Think Hard.
From “The Art of the Deal”:
Knowing your business and competitors isn’t enough. You also have to study your market. All industries are susceptible to changes and can be affected by the entrance of a new competitor, the passing of new tax legislation or even a new innovation. You must also consider that small changes can have huge implications on your operating environment. Monitor changes in your environment and know how they may affect the success of your business or the value proposition that you offer.
As you monitor, remain agile, as changes that may seem like an impediment to your business success can also be an opportunity for you to reposition yourself and your company or offering to dominate your market.
Takeaways:
* Be attentive to the events happening in your environment.
* Be creative in finding ways and means to get insider information on what your competitors are doing.
* Develop contacts or associates, who you can rely on, to tell you what is coming, especially in regulatory or government offices so that you can be prepared for what is to come.
* Develop your competitive advantage and use that to position yourself as unique or the best. Remember that this can change instantly so look for opportunities to constantly improve or increase that competitive edge.

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. “
I’ll be voting for Trump, period.
like ever shifting sand....
He saw poll numbers diving when he looks like an infant. Since Carson’s former Campaign manager is advising on the sly, he knew where to hit. Would not surprise me if he was the leak....
I told another poster, who said I was erratic sometimes, I’m the craziest Italian American in a neighborhood chock full of ones.
I could tell you stories that would probably not be believed and rival some Goodfellas scenes.
But I have a big heart and if any FReeper came to NYC they could come visit and have a great big Italian meal prepared by me and my mother :) she’s only 82. Wife cooks decently too :)
Howard Dean looks stable compared to the Donald.
Those polls are dropping like a rock, Rubio probably wins NH and Donald goes back to NY for good.
Sounds like he s been schooled by Newt Gingrich. Newt did an excellent job on Hannity last night.
