Donald Trump just accused Ted Cruz of stealing the Iowa caucuses over the Cruz campaign's admission that it helped spread a rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!
--SNIP--
Update 2. Oh boy:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified. 9:28 AM - 3 Feb 2016

Oh, that’s so clever.
Let me try one.
If Ted Cruz told you to leap off the highest building in Canada, would you do it?
And Jake Tapper admits that CNN had their words twisted by others. It’s right there in black and white that his tweet impeaches all that you have there.
They’re all acting like knuckleheads.
Cruz lies like a Demrat ....Oh wait.
I believe his hissy fit with Fox News was the start.
One can only hope.
Dan Gabriel, is that you? Trump nor his people were involved in this fraud in any way. They didn’t find out about it until after.
Really? How do you know it affected THE OUTCOME, in any way? And next: it has been well reported that Cruz staffers merely reported on a CNN report. How are they liable for an improper press report?
Thank you for the thoughtful reply, though.
The issue isn’t whether Trump came in second(which is not losing) but whether the Cruz campaign intentionally lied and defrauded Carson of votes. We have all heard how Christian Cruz is so this is a bad sign regardless of what an ass you think Trump is. Cruz apologized so he even admits it was wrong.
Hmm...he's been acting like this all along!
Look folks, Here’e the true skinny!!! Ted Cruz will not get one African-American vote....he will get few Hispanic vote, also, he will not get one vote from Christians/Jews that love their religion, but do not love a nutcase like Ted Cruzc rambling all over God, as if God was his one and only savior,...just for him. Nutcase, Lunatic, Ego-Maniac, Glenn Beck does exactly the same thing.
IMHO, and, I worship before my God & Lord everyweek before the cross of Jesus Christ loving him, and, my lost daughter who passed from a bout of breast cancer at a very young age. But....I do not force my religious beliefs on anyone else, as Mr. Cruz and his best friend headcase, Glenn Beck do!!! You Cruz folks are dreaming....but...in the real world your dream will soon end...as the vast number of the American people speak out as to how they truly feel about religion...not in your radical way.
When I see and read the horrible hateful postings from the Cruz brood of voters....I know in my heart, spirit and soul...these are not God’s people...they are the servants of hate for their fellow man!!! Ted Cruz is toast....no....burnt Toast!!! Go Donald Trump!!! Heed not what these hate, sinners preach!!!
Sad but true.
Okay, so others "twisted" the words of CNN - and that was Cruz's fault??? By the way, I saw the report on CNN - Jake is covering his butt. Even other people on CNN were interpreting it as if Carson might be leaving the race.
Oh boy.....shutters....the comic section. Good grief. No wonder you think poor Ted is getting slammed.....he’s in the comics.
I never implied that Trump was involved in the unfortunate error. But as active as Trump is on Twitter, I doubt that he had no knowledge of what CNN was saying about Carson until later.
I was saying that people out there in the real world are reacting very negatively to Trump acting like a sore loser in his Twitter tantrum.
Limbaugh is dancing for the DC establishment today.
“Just imagine if they find that Cruz wrote in a book that he slept with a bunch of married women. That would be yuuuuuuge!”
Sounds to me like a bunch of married women wanted to sleep with Trump, lol. Maybe he is yuuuu....., lol.
If Trump doesn’t get the nomination he will run as an Independent and try everything in his power to ensure no Republican is elected President in 2016.
Re:225 Just my huntch but sometime Monday Carson told his close staff he was going home after Iowa. It leaked, he realized how it looked. He then saw early numbers showing better than expected results.
He thrn Sent clarification to CNN.
One thing Carson didn’t deny was going to floriduh. Funny someone would fly to floriduh for a few changes of clothes.
It was on CNN, Cruz and Rubio used the info to their advantage. It ain’t bean bag.
Donnie is a crybaby.
“Fresh Clothes”
I really don’t understand why a nationally ranked candidate for president would fly somewhere to get fresh clothes. Besides having people that could probably procure fresh clothes for him, there is something known as a “washing machine” and another thing known as “dry cleaning”.
Did he just bring one suit with him?
I believe I read that they didn’t know until after- it was either CTH or a link from their comments.
I’m not on Twitter right now because it’s redirecting me to some ‘mobile’ thing.
Lots of mouth there, though. Some is credible, some isn’t.
