Trump calls for NEW ELECTION in Iowa after Ted Cruz ‘stole’ victory
Donald Trump is calling for a do-over in the Iowa Caucuses, saying that Texas Sen. Trump started to fire of a storm of angry tweets on Wednesday accusing Cruz, claiming that he had stolen the caucuses.
Trump also slammed Cruz for sending out deceitful mailers and suggesting in a release that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was quitting the race. Many Republicans believe that the blustery populist Trump and the aggressively conservative Cruz could not defeat the Democratic nominee in November.
Trump also accused Cruz of sending out a “voter violation” certificate to thousands of voters.
That has irked Carson and his team, who has said the decision by the Cruz team to share only part of the CNN report was a dirty political maneuver. If anyone can rewrite history, it’s Trump.
DONALD Trump accused Ted Cruz of fraud in the Iowa caucuses, Rand Paul dropped out of the crowded Republican race and candidates from both major parties focused on New Hampshire before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary next Tuesday.
“I hope you will judge all the people running for this position by the same standards”, he said at the National Press Club, refusing to say to reporters whether he was referring directly to Sen.
“Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud”, Trump said in one of his tweets. “You know, when you say ‘ground game, ‘ I say, ‘What the hell is that?’ Now I’m familiar with it”. I’m not a professional politician, and I came in second. Jimmy Carter has endorsed Donald Trump. Yet in the latest poll from UMass/7-News, Trump has a 24 point lead in the New Hampshire GOP race.
Asked before a rally in Milford, New Hampshire, on Tuesday evening if he planned to change his campaign strategy, he told a news conference he felt confident in his methods, but he was adding more town hall-style events.
Cruz told New Hampshire supporters he was like former Republican President Ronald Reagan, urging the state to help ensure his nomination by giving him a win in the February 9 primary.
LACONIA, N.H. Marco Rubio finished third in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, but his Republican White House rivals are attacking him as though he were the victor, and on Wednesday the us senator from Florida peppered his speech with humble caveats that seemed created to deflect the hits.
