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.

Rickover: Well, Mr. Cruz, why do you want to be President?
Cruz: I have a website with this 50 page 400 point program to rein in Washington DC.
Rickover[to the Captain witness escort chaperone ]: Get this man out of here.
Rickover [two hours later the interviewee returns after time to think about his answer]: Well, Mr. Cruz, now that you have had time to think about it why do you want to be President?
Cruz: This Captain was mean to me and locked me in a closet for 2 hours.
Rickover [gesticulates to the Captain with his tumb to get this guy out of his office]: Stop wasting my time and get this [salty language deleted] out of here.
Trump’s Trumper tantrums are actually refreshing. I think it also practices his Alinsky tactics, which he will use full monte against the ruthless DemonRATs who will lie up to their eyeballs. I would buy stock in popcorn. This will be a Trump against the lions occasion.
I think Trump is stressing free market health insurance with the ability for providers to compete across state lines. The reason we haven’t had that type of competition is because both parties of Congress are in the pockets of the insurance companies. Obviously, Trump has his own pockets and the insurance companies can make their own money when the economy is up.
I cannot believe you would have the gall to link to a hashtag.
Popular teenage social networking sites are not a reference. You may as well ask me to dye my hair purple than click on a hashtag like a twit.
Any thing he wants to say makes he first tweets it, then if it gets picked up as something that catches the news cycle, he then starts verbalizing it.
So because Trump thinks this is newsworthy, it is newsworthy for this political cycle until he is defeated in the presidential contest.
Some of his tweets(thoughts) that you may not have seen:
Hey and if you want to dye your hair purple knock yourself out, you never know it may work for ya.
How old are you?
Why don't you tell Grandma on him.
Hey I am not the presidential candidate that thinks Twitter is his personal chat room...
