Has the GOP race reentered reality?

He launched a series of Twitter rants calling for a new election because he believes Cruz did not actually win the state and instead committed voter fraud to win the Republican Iowa caucuses.

TED CRUZ: No. We’re not going to scapegoat anybody and I would note that the news story that our team passed on was true and accurate.

LLAMAS: Now, Governor Christie part of that pool of governors that right now is sort of at the bottom of the polls along with Jeb Bush and Governor John Kasich, all campaigning very hard in New Hampshire hoping for a ticket to SC.

Asked about Cruz at a press conference before the rally, Trump said Cruz had insulted Carson and Iowans but would not say whether he thought the Texas senator had run a dirty campaign.

For Democrats, however, after an hour of hearing candidates’ volunteers make their case about why they should vote for them, the precincts hold an unofficial ballot as a test of opinion.

“Marco Rubio hasn’t accomplished one thing in his career”, Chris Christie told MSNBC on Thursday, bashing the young senator as a sheltered bubble boy.

Rubio’s unexpectedly strong third-place showing in Monday’s Iowa caucuses has made him the target of rival Republican candidates who focused their campaigns on the New England state’s first-in-the-nation primary.

Ted Cruz lashed into Donald Trump Wednesday for almost 10 minutes, saying he’s a sore loser and a temperamental man who was behaving more immaturely than Cruz’s grade-school children.

The feud between Carson and Cruz has been building all week, particularly as Donald Trump seizes on the dispute to publicly challenge Cruz’s caucus-night victory.

Three Republican contenders – Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Mike Huckabee – have suspended their campaign after the Iowa caucuses.

The results of the New Hampshire primary are important, but are not always reliable in predicting who will win the party nominations.

“He insulted Ben Carson by doing what he did to Ben Carson”.

Philip Bump at The Washington Post says that Trump’s tweets on Wednesday undermined “the unexpected sense of generosity that marked Donald Trump’s concession speech in Iowa on Monday night”.

Trump remains the ultimate wild card in any high-stakes political event.

During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz. “If I were him, I’d nuke Rubio and then pivot back to Cruz before SC. I don’t know what he’s doing here, apart from pure ego preservation”, says Allahpundit.
