Are you referring to the Cruz campaign saying that Carson had dropped out? I doubt Carson would have gotten much more than his 8-9% one way or the other.

Lulz. Carson's support was within his polling margin. Trump's? Not so much.

Attending the debate might have cost him the election. It was an ambush aimed solely at taking Trump out. Megyn had to settle for attacking Cruz & Rubio.

Something doesn't jive. The entrance polls had him taking the win. I'm guessing lotsa moles.

Might explain why Cruz suddenly hit Rubio.

Show me the math of that. Show me where Carson was going to increase his showing by 39% over his polling, and then that every one of those extra voters would go to Cruz to give him the votes he beat Trump by.

The math doesn’t work for that theory.

A claim not supported by any statistical evidence.

Liar.

If indeed Cruz did cheat, then why did the Carson voters go for Ted and not Donald or Marco or ???

Fact is, CNN’s lied and ALL (not just Ted) the candidates reaction to that “story” was a huge non-event in Iowa.

Trump is just a sore loser. Bitterly clutching at straws to explain why he lost.

It’s possible that it did, but Trump’s decision to skip the debate wasn’t smart.

Making temperamental decision like that isn’t something I want in a president to be perfectly honest.

Cruz cheating cost Trump Iowa.

**************

May have been some possible impact.... But, IMO Trump cost Trump Iowa. The people want
or expect certain things and if you want their support you try to provide to their expectations.
Trump didn’t.

But all said Trump left Iowa one delegate vote short of Cruz for the National GOP
Convention. How the three votes of the executives go is yet to be seen. So the final
is yet to be determined.

Trump treated the debate the way Trump supporters treat everyone else. They are too good for us regular voters, so we are unimportant.

Look at the actual numbers. If that doesn't do it for you, blame the lying media hype and your candidate himself.

To quote that famous philosopher, JEB Bush, "You can't insult your way into office Donald!"

“Cruz cheating cost Trump Iowa.”

Right. Had nothing to do with this:

“How stupid are the people of Iowa?” Trump asked, after wondering how Carson could have narrowly avoided stabbing a friend by hitting his belt buckle. “How stupid are the people of the country to believe this c—p?”

Nor his lack of a ground game, nor his missing the debate.

No, it was that evil Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuz. What Trump really means is he was beaten soundly by the real conservative.
