Donald Trump says Ted Cruz stole Iowa, wants a new election

Donald Trump said he’s proud of his second-place finish in the Republican presidential caucuses in Iowa but skipping the Fox News debate and his inexperience with mobilizing voters on the ground hurt his campaign.

That gives Rubio nine new endorsements this week – 35 total – pushing the Florida senator’s tally past his rival, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who had held the most endorsements of any Republican in the race – 31 – until this week.

Mr Pate said Mr Cruz’s mailers “misrepresent Iowa election law” and that they were “not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses”, but he stopped short of any official action.

The volley comes as Mr Trump looks to rebound in New Hampshire following Monday’s defeat in the first presidential nominating contest.

On the Democratic side, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders can point to something they liked in the razor-thin results of the Iowa caucuses. Shera Cimuso said she, her husband and their nine kids supported Mr Cruz because he is best positioned to “get Trump out” of the race. The GOP front-runners exchanged blows on Twitter Wednesday about the caucus results.

Trump’s position is that would-be Carson voters threw their support to Cruz when their candidate “dropped out”, giving Cruz his victory over Trump.

At another campaign event in Arkansas on Wednesday night, Mr Trump jabbed at his opponent, claiming that he was dishonest and helped push for the confirmation of U.S. supreme court chief justice John Roberts, who voted for president Barack Obama’s healthcare law.

The bombastic billionaire has been on a notable tear in the days since he finished second in the Iowa caucuses, placing well behind Texas Sen.

Trump’s Twitter reaction to his Iowa showing strayed significantly from his public comments on several morning TV shows Wednesday and at a rally on Tuesday night. “I would never quit on New Hampshire”. “I want to win this state twice”, he told supporters at a town hall in Dover.

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?”

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.
