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.

Well like I said, tell me if Elmer finally gets that wascally wabbit.
Trump the presidential candidate who cried wolf.
How many times have we heard that he will sue.
“I’ll sue because of birth certificate” Nevermind
“I’ll seue because you stole my Ohio victory from me” Nevermind.
He does not mean anything he says. The man is unstable.
If he gets the presidency...
The wall for Mexico is not feasable - Nevermind

I am not sure that even that genius realized that you could get so many idiots vetting for Trump's squirrels.
Whether or not he’s trying to, Trump is doing a good job of making fools of his supporters.
>>so many idiots vetting for Trump’s squirrels.
Is this an autocorrect mishap?
Ok. How many law suits has he actually filed. Answer - a lot. Ever been in a lawsuit- it "ruins your day," whichever side you are on unless you have so much money and legal talent that it is water off a duck's back. So, when someone threatens to sue what do you do? You spend your time reviewing your actions to make sure you are in the clear and modify you behavior to steer clear of the actual suit. What you are doing at that point is worrying rather then doing something productive.
And we now all know about Cruz's perfidy. And what we know is that this guy Cruz hired onto his campaign is a mean vicious sob, who everyone in the business knows to be a mean vicious sob. Did you know who he was? I didn't. But we all now know it.
And it makes Cruz look like a first class bully, no, a first class jerk.
No it’s posting before reading. Should read “so many idiots vetting Trumpâs squirrels.”
Wow. Got another one!
Oh. I get it now. Haha. Very true.
“He knows that war is a democracy and the enemy gets a vote too. His strategies have been right out of SunTzu. He is never where the enemy needs him to be. He never shows up with the forces that they planned for. He never fights where they are strong”
Bingo. 2D thinkers see instability, where 3D thinkers see it as unpredictability.
2D thinkers fight with no results, few results, lost ground, or unintended consequences. But yet they want to be praised for their effort. I fought hard for you. Didn’t win, but I fought, aren’t I great? I think this is the result of Participation Award Society.
A 3D thinker is focused on the goal and not the fight per say. Battles are designed to move one closer to a goal. If it doesn’t get the intended results in the end, it’s a worthless victory.
I see candidates say they have fought for us in DC and had victories but nothing had really changed here on the ground. But they want a Participation Award for trying hard. They don’t understand the ones who are really working on results.
>>Battles are designed to move one closer to a goal. If it doesnât get the intended results in the end, itâs a worthless victory.
Well said. I get so sick of hearing from the politician who “tirelessly fights” yet never moves the ball.
Problem with Trump’s “change” is that it remains constant, depending on which way the poll winds blow. Trump has stated several occasions he would do deals with DUmocrats. If that’s what I want, Rubio deals as well...gave us shAmnesty.
Trump can’t back away from his Twitter tantrums long enough to examine any issues and resorts to baseless character assassinations to score political points in the media. Same as the DUmocrats.
Healthcare...ah, another Trump myth. He has stated he wants “healthcare for everybody” and “government is going to pay for it”. That is what we have now. No, I will not support a re-branding of ObamaCare. Let people get their own insurance and get government OUT of it. Companies are already going out of business over this fiasco and each of his “proposals” grow government faster than Obama has.
I call him a changeling, depends on the profit from the deal he wants.
You sound like Cruz when he said Carson quit, vote for me...
For the 15th time, all signs since November point to Carson dropping out. Hemorrhaging staff and his funds are dwindling. “Going home” instead of conducting a real campaign says he wasn’t in it for the long haul. Study up on how a caucus works. Each candidate needs advocates in each precinct to convince others to their candidate. The voters are free to decide for themselves. It’s evidently clear the people of Iowa chose Cruz over Trump and Carson, and Trump put his faith in phoney polls, just like Jean-Fraud Kerry and Al Gwhore. Trump has taken their place in history for being the biggest crybaby Loser.
I stopped caring when I heard it the first time.
Great idea! So far I have AndyJackson; Bryanw92; Sub-Driver; Doohickey; SubMareener
Maybe we can interject Rickoverisms into the discussion. Such as: The reason there is a Nuclear Power School for officer’s, even if they won’t be actually fixing anything, is that you can’t manage something you don’t understand and haven’t tried to do at least once. This is why Donald’s dad sent him to construction sites, and why Donald did the same for his kids.
Application: Do we really want a President who has never actually gotten a federal government bureaucracy to do something they wanted the bureaucracy to do? Even worse, do we want someone who couldn’t even properly fill out a form from a federal government bureaucracy?
This.
Have to admit Trump had me worried with the Sore Loserman tone of those post-Iowa tweets, but his u-turn today puts that to rest. Agree that it's mission accomplished. Cruz's victory tainted, the narrative shifted, and Trump walks away without a scratch. Proof: Cruz got almost no bump from his Iowa win.
Trump got Obama to show his birth certificate. :-)
Trump got CNBC to shorten the debate to two hours. :-)
Trump got the VA to give that vet from one of his rallies back pay and the proper treatment program. :-)
Don’t worry about him flogging Congress to do something. Like he said if you can’t make a deal with a politician you can’t make a deal. And he wasn’t being complimentary.
