How and Why AP Called Clinton-Sanders Race When It Did

After a brief effort to appear statesmanlike and spin his success positively, Trump is now accusing Texas Sen. Despite falling short of victory in the Iowa caucuses (and he’s got plenty to say about why that is), he’s especially beating his rivals in one metric in particular: Voters who will never, ever vote for Donald Trump. “That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated”.

Donald Trump has accused Ted Cruz of fraud in the Iowa caucuses and Rand Paul has dropped out of the crowded Republican race to become the party’s United States presidential candidate. “They said he was quitting the race and to vote for him”, said Trump.

While Carson only indirectly criticized Cruz, his longtime adviser Armstrong Williams was blunt: “He cheated”.

Billionaire real estate tycoon Donald Trump remains the the front-runner in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary after his second-place finish in Iowa, the poll finds. “Dr. Carson’s staff told us that he would return home to Florida to, quote-unquote, take a breath from the campaign before resuming his activities on the campaign trail”, said Baldwin.

Trump bowed out of Fox News/Google debate in Des Moines – the final debate before the caucuses – after objecting to co-moderator Megyn Kelly, who he contended had treated him unfairly, as well as a statement that Fox News issued as he threatened to pull out.

“Reality just hit the reality star – he lost Iowa and now nobody is talking about him, so he’s popping off on Twitter”, Mr Cruz’s communications director Rick Tyler told Politico in an email.

He also admitted to Mr Hannity that he did not have a great ground campaign in Iowa “because I didn’t think I was going to be winning”.

The former secretary of state and first lady defeated Mr Sanders by less than three-tenths of 1%, the closest result in Iowa Democratic caucus history, the state party said.

CNN actually reported that Carson would travel to Florida after the Iowa caucus instead of directly to New Hampshire or SC. Irrespective of these claims, Cruz apologized to Carson on Tuesday while dismissing Trumps tweets, by referring to his attacks as a “Trump-er tantrum”.

“We’re looking at it right now, but the important point is that at the end of the day we came from nowhere to really startle the entire world, ” he said.
