After accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of "illegally" stealing a win from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'll "probably" sue over the results of the vote.
Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio
When asked if he would file a formal complaint over the caucuses' results, Trump replied, "probably."
"What [Cruz] did is unthinkable," Trump said, later stating that Cruz was a "really fraudulent" character.
Earlier in the day, Trump fired off a raging tweetstorm accusing Cruz of cheating in Iowa. Trump even suggested the Republican Party take the unprecedented step of holding a do-over election in Iowa or nullifying Cruz's results.

Thanks, and I didn’t think anything of it.
I appreciate the comment.
Though technically true...
If you listen to the whole CNN report, it's REAL easy to come to that conclusion...
CNN just about said everything but that...
CNN lies AGAIN!! They did this yesterday too. This Baldwin gal says:
“We reported it accurately and here are the facts. Dr. Carsonâs staff told us that he would return home to Florida to, quote unquote, take a breath from the campaign⦠That accurate report was disseminated on television and CNN digital and that was that. That was that⦔
But you can listen to the actual CNN clip at https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1085531334800368&id=100000305365400&_rdr
(or Iâm told itâs also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBfEfKZ6rBk if you donât want to go on FB)
It is clear that they are saying that Carson would NOT be going to NH or SC - which is exactly what Ted Cruz said the CNN report said, when he gave his apology.
CNN lies, lies, lies. And the video makes that clear.
So which Freepers care about what the truth really is? That’s been one of the most disgusting things about this whole thing. Truth doesn’t seem to matter here these days. Just partisan potshots.
He’s got a record. You might want to take off the Trumpbot glasses and read it sometime.
How come EVERY time I ask whether Donnie is a true conservative, you guys attack Cruz for not being conservative.
Do you have ANYTHING to say about conservative positions he actually supports?
Do you dispute the fact he is NOT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE.
I hope that's all this is. Trump is my candidate. I think Cruz will be weak in the general election, even against Hillary. But if Trump really tries to sue Cruz or persists in demanding another caucus, both futile gestures, he's going to look both weak and unhinged, a deadly combo in politics.
If he is serious he's making a rookie error. Taking a tactic that can work in business negotiations - threatening or even filing lots of trivial lawsuits to put the other side off balance and intimidate them - and trying it in the public world of politics where the more litigious side often loses the PR battle even if they prevail in court.
And in this case it's clear that Trump will not prevail in either arena.
Explain to me how citing a CNN report is cheating.
I just reached the last straw.
Donnie’s people sent me an email that says, “If Canadian Cruz Wins, Dems Will ‘Sue His Ass Off’ “
He has been unsubscribed.
He's had the guts to go where no politician has dared. (and I've enjoyed the heck out of watching Lib's heads explode)
He's an American and he loves his country. Not another foreign born with an obscure past. Do we dare entrust the future of America, the shape she's in, to a man from a family of Cubans from Canada???
He's not 'owned' by anybody
He's not a Washington insider or an establishment politician He's smart, extremely successful and charismatic His remarkable children are a testament to his character and abilities
I believe him when he says he'll put up the wall.
I believe him when he says he'll put a stop to the Muslim invasion.
I believe him when he says he'll remedy the illegal alien problem
I believe he can make America great again
He will keep his promises. He does not want to sully the Trump name, but to glorify it and go down in history as one of our great presidents.
Do you want a guy from a family of Cuban Canadians to be our next POTUS- after what the foreign born, America/white hater has done to America??
What a juvenile sore loser! Trump is nothing more than a rich entitled, spoiled creep. I`m not voting for such a narcissistic brat, he and his campaign can go to hell.
I’ll call your bluff, Mr. Trump.
Go for it.
Thanks for that link. Seems that Rubio was saying that Carson was quitting. Interesting to see the talk on that page about whether Carson had changed his campaign schedule. But if you look at his campaign schedule on his official campaign website there are no campaign events listed - at least as of this morning when I looked. HE didn’t change his plans to skip NH and SC; he never had those plans. (Or maybe with NH he had plans but then couldn’t do them because his NH staff quit Sunday.)
..you need to redact the personal stuff and post that...
Wrong...I was watching CNN on Monday night and no one suggested Carson was dropping out.
emigrant Cubans and western Canadians are generally good people.
Now if Cruz was from Quebec, or Kenya, that would be different.
“Iowa nonsense”
Fraud isn’t nonsense nor are dirty tricks to get votes.
But yes the Iowa thingie was a lot of non sense.
There’s not going to be any money left to fight the dems’ cheating if this case of somebody citing a CNN report is tried in the courts as if it was actually against rules/laws to mention a news report.
Man, you people are dimwitted!!!
Nonresponsive. You guys never answer the question about conservativism. I wonder why?
And Donnie’s CONSERVATIVE credentials???
Are you sure you belong on this site?
Quote Cruz’s “lie”. To be a lie it has to be factually untrue and he had to know it was factually untrue. Give me a quote of Cruz’s “lie”.
