Donald Trump says Ted Cruz ‘stole’ Iowa

Mr Trump tweeted: “The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter (grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz”.

The Kentucky senator was the second Republican candidate, behind former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, to drop out of the race since Monday’s night’s Iowa caucuses.

In another tweet, Trump said Cruz had lied about his opinion of President Barack Obama’s healthcare program. Tyler said the Cruz team “as a campaign” never alleged Carson was dropping out.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are neck in neck on the democratic side, while Ted Cruz pulled ahead of Donald Trump. “They’re very much into the trade world and I’m the best on trade”, Trump said.

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.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Christie was asked by journalist Cokie Roberts whether Trump had stole Christie’s position as the blunt, blustery candidate in the 2016 field – or, as she put it, “Have you been somewhat outflanked on the rudeness quotient?”

Entrance polls conducted by Fox News showed that 55 per cent of caucus-goers who made up their minds in the final few days chose to support Cruz or Rubio.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who placed third among the Republicans in Iowa, said he will try to persuade some of Mr Paul’s supporters to redirect their support to him, despite the stark differences the two have on foreign policy.

Meanwhile, the race moves to New Hampshire, where Trump leads and Cruz is in second place in many polls.

Donald Trump stays in first, with 36%; Rubio takes over second place, with 15%. “You know, when it comes to the use of military force, I don’t want to be policeman of the world”.

A weaker than expected performance in the New Hampshire primary next week would only add fuel to the fire.

“I think we’re gonna do well, and we’ll see what happens”, Trump said on New Hampshire Today.

Cruz, who regularly cites the 40th president on the campaign trail, said Reagan’s success “came from the American people and it turned this place around”.

Jeb Bush and John Kasich are more moderate and more capable of working with Democrats in Congress than the other Republican candidates.
