Trump says Cruz won Iowa Caucuses by committing fraud

Iowa Rep. Steve King, a national co-chairman of Cruz’s campaign, wrote on Twitter Monday evening: “Looks like (Carson) is out….”

Iowa caucusgoers are multiple locations told the Des Moines Register that Cruz representatives who gave speeches announced Carson was suspending his campaign. CNN had reported that Carson was returning to Florida for a day or two after Iowa to get clean clothes and to rest.

“Shameless tactics & dirty political plays defined yesterdays #iacaucus”, he said, using a popular hashtag to refer to the voting.

“In retrospect, we could have done much better with the ground game”, Trump said, in an apparent slight to his Iowa state director Chuck Laudner.

Cruz’s campaign pushed a report Monday night suggesting that Carson was headed home to Florida, rather than continuing his campaign after the Iowa caucuses.

While Christie said on Thursday he would not be out of the race if he lost to Rubio in New Hampshire, Kasich has told audiences he would go back to OH if he got “smoked” there. “I’m going to call out B.S. if I hear B.S. And that was B.S”.

“It’s clear that there were people who tried to take advantage of a situation”, Carson said Wednesday during the briefing.

“I said to myself, ‘That’s odd…In fact, you would have thought he had won”.

Trump and Cruz appear together at a rally protesting the Iran nuclear deal in September.

Also on Wednesday, Rand Paul, a Republican who represents the Libertarian wing on the party, dropped out of the race on Wednesday after finishing fifth in Iowa. “We’ll wait and see what he does to demonstrate that”.

But other said they think Trump should be focusing on the next contests.

That break from Trump as we know him is officially over. Rubio seemed to benefit at Trump’s expense with a stronger-than-expected showing in the Iowa caucuses, in which he almost caught up to Trump.

That’s why Andrew Cline says that if Donald Trump wins the Republican Primary there, it could spell the end of the importance of the Granite State’s first-in-the nation primary. “I think he needs to move on”.

“What kind of people do we have running for office?” the billionaire businessman said at a campaign event in Milford, New Hampshire.
