Donald Trump: Politicians ‘are full of s

Donald Trump was coasting in the Iowa polls even after ditching the state’s final debate as the latest maneuver in his petty one-sided feud with Fox’s Megyn Kelly. After all, Trump is a political unknown who has outraged sections of the electorate with controversial proposals on border security, including a temporary suspension of the entry of all Muslims to the US.

Trump said, in a tweet that was subsequently deleted, that Cruz committed fraud and called on Iowa to hold a reelection.

Smith said the polling indicates Trump has “no room for growth” but is still benefiting from being a unique candidate in a field crowded with a group mostly comprising traditional elected officials.

Trump later deleted the tweet, retweeting essentially the same message, but taking out the word “illegally”.

No other candidate topped 5%.

The tycoon went on to accuse the Cruz campaign of sending mailers to “thousands” of Iowa voters that were created to look like “voter violation” certificates.

A spokesman for Carson, the former surgeon who is still in the race, had called the Cruz campaign’s actions on caucus night “dirty tricks”.

Carson created that opportunity when he bafflingly announced on caucus day that he was going home to Florida to “get a fresh set of clothes”.

Asked if he will file a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office in Iowa, Trump told Herald Radio, “I probably will. What he did is unthinkable”.

“And finally, Cruz strongly told thousands of caucus-goers that Trump was strongly in favor of ObamaCare and “choice” – a total lie!”

Paul Pate, the top election official in Iowa, condemned the mailers on Saturday, saying the state does not track or grade individual voters. Neither of these things are likely to happen.

The Cruz campaign sent an email to its backers Monday, urging them to inform caucusgoers that Carson planned to leave the race.
