Cruz Mocks Trump as Empty Chair

Trump referred to an email that Cruz’s campaign sent on Monday that implied another Republican candidate, Ben Carson, was about to drop out of the race and that his Iowa backers should be urged to vote for the Texan instead.

To what extent Trump is willing to go to prove his point is unclear but he remained adamant on Wednesday that Cruz stole the caucus from him.

Those were perhaps ill-timed for a period when threats of terror from the Islamic State are leading to heated rhetoric from other contenders, including Sen.

Donald Trump continued Wednesday to lament the response to his second-place finish in Iowa’s caucuses. He is now being billed as a establishment candidate for the Republican.

A CNN/MRU poll shows that a whopping 31% of New Hampshire GOP primary voters before the Iowa caucus would never vote for Trump, a metric that has now jumped to 37%.

Trump alleges Cruz won the caucuses by committing fraud.

The Cruz campaign apologised to Carson’s camp, saying it was a misunderstanding.

The Cruz insult ensured once again Wednesday that Trump headlined the media coverage of the Republican presidential election – and once again saving him from spending millions on campaign advertisements. Trump, who campaigns heavily on poll results, failed to overcome rival Cruz, though. Ted Cruz of Texas, who has said the US should “carpet bomb” the terrorist group “into oblivion”.

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.

As for Trump’s claims that Cruz lied about Trump’s positions, the First Amendment gives candidates a lot of leeway in making claims about their rivals, and proof of a blatant lie wouldn’t be enough to force a new election, Foley said. Florida senator Marco Rubio also had a strong night, snapping at Trump’s heels and running a close third. While Sanders gets 61 per cent in the poll and Clinton gets 32 per cent. Only five percent of voters remain undecided, the poll said.

“She interrupted everyone and at first, I thought it was a hoax”. Ohio Governor John Kasich, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie all hope New Hampshire will breathe life into their flagging campaigns.
