Trump complaining about media and voters on twitter
twitter ^ | 02/02/2016 | Donald Trump

Posted on 02/02/2016 8:39:32 AM PST by GIdget2004

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 15 minutes ago The media has not covered my long-shot great finish in Iowa fairly. Brought in record voters and got second highest vote total in history!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 11 minutes ago I will be talking about my wonderful experience in Iowa and the simultaneous unfair treatment by the media-later in New Hampshire. Big crowd

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 6 minutes ago I don't believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!

But the GOP can and will. This is shaping up to be another win for the uniparty with all the help they need from the easily managed public.

What does he want for credit, praise? Adulation? Not sure what he is going for here.

Maybe for not being bought and payed for by Goldman Sachs.

Well, here's a thought. If it's not worth it, why don't you just cut your losses and go back into the private sector and build more stuff and create more jobs? True, there would be far less media attention and that would require an adjustment (and perhaps therapy) on your part. Nevertheless, you wouldn't have to put up with those ungrateful voters anymore, and you'd be increasing your wealth while creating more jobs.

One recommendation though: don't attempt to increase your wealth by taking people's homes or land from them. Even the most hard-core Trumpian frowns on that practice.

Just where were all those thousands of cheering, sign waving “supporters that waited in lines to see and cheer him on? I’d like an answer to that just like Trump does.

Can’t speak for other folks typing behind their computers. I can only speak for myself. My horse won Iowa last night. I have no idea how he’ll fare in the future, but he had to win Iowa to stay alive and he did just that.

I believe that if you look at your two posts, and the look at the other posts you’ll see a marked difference.

When there is that much discrepancy in the polling and the vote, I can't help but wonder was there possibly a lot of fraud? And given the record of McConnell et al, in Mississippi, I cannot help but wonder a little bit. Especially when I read that at least in some places, they ran out of registration forms and ballots.

Removing ALL trump voters the IOWA total caucus vote is still a Republican record.

I guess you could say he drove up numbers for other candidate, not plus for a STRONG - Winner like djt.

You speak of land grab and many of you don’t understand the border. Building a fence/wall Israeli style is not that simple. First off it can be done from the Pacific to El Paso, from there the border is the Rio Grande River. I live in East Texas but can tell you when it’s spoken about here the ranchers on the border do not want to give up land cutting off the Rio Grande and it’s water from their cows.

As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if every time you see the Border Patrol on TV in Texas, close to 100% of the time they are on private land making an arrest. Texas has very very little federal land. Therefore an Israeli fence will have to take private lands.
Let’s talk about that too if you wish to discuss a fence.

After watching the Bundy antics how do think it won’t erupt 100 times worse when the federalies try to take all that private land.

Sure, I’m 100% for cruz and I’m 100% for a fence but I tell you it is way way more complex than most people know.

Uh, okay. I was actually speaking of eminent domain, but I didn’t realize I needed to specify that. I guess I thought it would be self-explanatory. I’ll work on being more specific.

But you must admit, we all would love a fence but the fence problem is a very complex issue.

Agree completely, however it's also clear that a you don't want to be labelled as a "sour grapes" candidate. Trump did far better in Iowa than many originally believed possible, however both Cruz and Rubio put in fine performances and they're going to get a news cycle or two out of it, so give it a rest for 24 hours. Frankly, Iowa's 30 delegates split three ways aren't much and with Cruz now sporting a whopping 1 delegate lead it isn't worth worrying about.

On to NH.

Sounds rather like Obama, does it not? “It’s their fault for not recognizing my magnificence.”

Yeah, nice little aside. Not worth it if it doesn’t come easily. Not worth it if voters are stupid enough to vote for Cruz.

Is he threatening to quit? Do it now, Donald, so we can avoid Rubio.

That concession speech took all the graciousness that Donald had. You cannot possibly expect him to be gracious for a full 24 hours.

Something has gone wrong in the universe when one has to switch to CNN for fairness.

Trump didn’t just get beat by Cruz... he got clobbered. It was not close.
