Angry Trump accuses Cruz of ‘fraud’ in Iowa

And it was in the context when Jesus said there are some people who aren’t what they seem to be, who say one thing and do another. CNN also clarified that it reported that Carson would return to the campaign trail, contrary to the Cruz campaign reports. Instead, he focused on his worries about what type of image children might receive if society settled for anything less than “complete excellence” from politicians, and proudly proclaimed that he did not take money from special interest groups. The mogul took further offense at an alleged statement by Cruz that fellow Republican contender Ben Carson was quitting the race, slamming the far-right senator for “lying” about Carson and Trump’s policies. He told reporters at the National Press Club that the Cruz staffer who spread the rumor should be fired.

Cruz later said his campaign should have issued a follow-up note reporting that he was not ending his White House bid.

Ted Cruz really commit fraud in Iowa’s Republican caucus, as loser Donald Trump charges?

Trump also accused Cruz’s team on Twitter of sending out a mailer created to look like an official electoral document to scare Iowa voters into turning out at the caucuses. He said the Cruz team “as a campaign” never alleged Carson was dropping out. “I don t know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on the button”.

Carson said the Monday comment amounted to “dirty tricks”.

He added: “That would be hypocritical, wouldn’t it, to go against your beliefs?” On that basis, Trump called for Cruz’s win in Iowa to be nullified and the election done over.

“What Senator Cruz did to Ben Carson was a disgrace and an insult to Doctor Carson and the process”, he said.

“Reality hit the reality TV star in Iowa, so nobody is talking about him now, so he’s trying to regain some attention on Twitter”, Rick Tyler, Cruz’s campaign communications director, recently told CNN. I am not make that up.

Speaking about making the trek to Florida, Carson asked this rhetorical question: “Is it wrong to go home and get a change of clothes after being on the road for several weeks?” Put it this way: To win, Trump needs this to be an “everything is different this time” election, and Monday was strong evidence that the normal political rules apply. “You know, when it comes to the use of military force, I don’t want to be policeman of the world”.
