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

Dirty Politics: Witnessing Firsthand It’s Always Heartbreaking, Never Surprising
By Sarah Palin https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/
Thank heavens Donald Trump opened so many eyes to the lies, corruption and total lack of accountability that come so naturally to the permanent political class. And Sen. Ted Cruz was spot on when he once noted that “millions of Americans are asking for accountability and truth.” Which is why it’s so curious - and saddens us - this lack of accountability with the lies of Cruz’s own campaign.
Cruz’s campaign chairman, U.S. Representative Steve King, is lying, and good for Dr. Ben Carson for calling this out. King, who’s previously asked for and received my endorsement, time and resources to support his own election, is still lying about my altruistic support of Mr. Trump, and he’s refused to provide any evidence to the contrary. And, this U.S. Congressman actually lied to his own constituents on behalf of Cruz, regarding a good man, Dr. Carson. He told voters Carson was dropping out of the Presidential race immediately before the Iowa caucus, causing a relative uproar inside the process, so the word would spread and he could rack up more votes for his candidate, Cruz. That’s a dirty trick. Dr. Carson deserved better. The voters deserved better!
Where is the accountability for these political actions? Very sad; typical Washington tactics. THIS is why “the status quo has got to go.”
Our friend Dr. Carson put it so well:
“As Christians, of course we accept people’s apologies, we also have to ask ourselves is this acceptable to us, the American people, or should there be some accountability? There should be some consequences for things. You don’t just say ‘oh, okay, sorry... okay let’s move on.’ The damage was done to me, it wasn’t done to them.”
We’ve had eight years of a reckless President, accountable to no one, pushing this country to the brink. Why would we ever take a risk repeating that? We are never going to turn this country around if we keep electing “more of the same.” Just like conservatives have been preaching in opposition to Obama’s political tactics for years: actions speak louder than words.
The Cruz Campaign’s actions to destroy a good man’s efforts to serve are no different than Obama’s practice of not holding anyone accountable. Typical politics. Typical politicians.

EXCELLENT! Well said.
Nah. Skipping the debate made sense to me, especially when I heard how Cruz was treated there.
What a cry baby man child he is. No wonder he cannot keep a wife. No wife would want to have to baby sit this child
Enlightening post you have there. It should get its own thread. Thanks for posting it.
When he demonstrates he can play well with others we can even perhaps give him a tactical conventional missile but not if he is near a drone.

And we’ve learned that Cruz knows how to play nice with illegals: Soccer Balls, Teddy Bears, Glenn Beck, and H1B Visas. ;-)
As an aside, the guy in your posting picture looks constipated.
Trump should have his very own Uranus thread. What fun! :-0
I think this is tactically brilliant on the part of the Trump campaign.
For the price of a tweet or two, they basically walked by a trash can filled with kerosene-soaked kindling, and flicked a lit match in.
Instead of all Cruz's people focusing on New Hampshire, now some of them have to go back and put out the fire - while Trump's people can concentrate on NH.
I see it is posted.

What dirty tricks?
Iowa was in a caucus and not a primary. The Cruz team was just feeding to their caucus team what was aired on CNN about Carson not returning to NH or Vermont after his speech early on in the evening before the caucus was even a couple hours old.
The Caucus team is their to convince caucus goers to Vote Cruz. What was illegal?
I believe you fell under the Trumpanzee express again and got ran over by the kool-aid car. I hope you heal from your wounds
GOPe wants a ‘brokered convention’ to put Bush in as the Republican Candidate so he can run against Hillary and she can wipe him out and take over her ‘crown’...seems like that is what is happening...
The GOPe has used everyone of them to push for this and now that Cruz is finished in their eyes, it's Rubio’s turn up to bat...
We're going to see some FOAMING hate directed at Palin on FR today.
You will have to post that 12x in a row so the ‘Stump Stupid’ Trump cheerleaders will shut their mouth long enough to read it.
Trump can’t take losing.
What a spoiled, whiny brat of a child in a man’s body.
Life doesn’t allow do-overs.
Time for Trump to man up or quit the race.
I agree.
Trump’s overblown ego is his biggest liability.
In his mind, he is No. 1 and he can’t handle being No. 2.
Life is unfair. Most of us deal with it and move on.
Donald Trump- lefty loser.
When the Cruz team plays dishonest games they put themselves in that position and may get called on it. And Trump will call them on it every time when they do.
See post 302.
This is who he has always been.
Whining is a singularly unattractive quality in a human being and in a candidate.
No one feels sorry for someone full of themselves.
