Indian-Americans backing Trump to campaign in New Hampshire
Trump latched onto it as a reason to invalidate Cruz’s victory over him in Iowa.

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is using every bit of momentum his campaign received from the Iowa caucuses to show New Hampshire voters that he – not his competition – is the Republican for all Americans.
Rand Paul, a U.S. senator from Kentucky with a libertarian philosophy, pulled out of the Republican race.
Sanders won 84 percent of the vote among Democrats under the age of 30 in Monday’s Iowa caucus. “He’s going to take care of Wall Street, even though he didn’t report his loans”, Trump said, boasting that he was investing his personal fortune into his campaign.
“I don’t know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on the button”, Cruz said during a press conference in New Hampshire (see video below). In other words, two-thirds of New Hampshire voters either plan to vote for Trump or say they never, ever will.
The remaining candidates are now in New Hampshire, the next state to hold a primary vote, where Mr Trump is leading in the polls.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton, 58 percent to 38 percent.
But that win came after Cruz and his allies relentlessly knocked Trump, accusing him of supporting Obamacare.
On Wednesday Sanders, a Vermont senator known for his deemocratic socialist politics, led Clinton by a 61 per cent to 32 per cent margin. “You’ve got to know in a state like New Hampshire where you are strong and weak and that information informs everything you do from geo-targeting on Facebook to putting together the candidate’s schedule”. “I mean, tell me what happened during that four years that was an accomplishment for anybody?”
Also note Carson’s unexpected increase – his first signs of electoral life in months – which raises an interesting question about where those voters will go once the retired neurosurgeon quits the race. Cruz later apologized for the email.
Trump claimed that the election was stolen from him by Cruz’s campaign, saying he “probably will” file a legal complaint against the senator. Wayne Hogan, the owner of a North Little Rock office furniture store who was wearing a Revolution-era jacket and hat along with a Trump shirt, said he shared the billionaire’s concerns about the caucuses.
Obama visited a mosque near Baltimore on Wednesday, declaring that attacks on Islam were an attack on all faiths, in a move to counter rhetoric from Trump and other Republican candidates that have alienated Muslims.
Mr Cruz said the businessman does not like losing and threw a “Trumpertantrum” after coming second in Iowa. “There are support groups for Twitter addiction”.
