Ted Cruz ‘stole’ his Iowa win

“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it”, Trump said as part of a Wednesday-morning tweet storm.

Cruz’s campaign dismissed Trump’s claims on Twitter with humour.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has a similar strategy, pinning his hopes on New Hampshire and dismissing the caucus results that put him in tenth place and three outsiders at the top of the pack. “But I won’t say that…it’s too controversial…it’s not politically correct”, said the businessman.

Asked if he will file a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office in Iowa, Trump told Herald Radio, “I probably will. What he did is unthinkable”. The real estate mogul argued for a “new election” or for the Texas senator’s results to be “nullified”.

And the man who got the voters turning out in their droves on Monday Donald Trump is definitely putting his shock second place behind him. Ted Cruz and said he performed better than most seasoned politicians.

Cruz bested Trump with 28 percent of caucus-goers’ pledges on Monday compared to Trump’s 24 percent.

“I don’t think people are interested in temper tantrums, I don’t think people are interested in insults and attacks”.

With the focus turns to January 9’s New Hampshire primary, the candidates will get one more chance to impress Granite State voters in an ABC News debate. Several social media users tweeted screengrabs of an alleged deleted tweet from Trump’s official account, in which he said Cruz had “illegally” stolen the vote.

Duprey also worked with her husband on John McCain’s 2008 campaign and was New Hampshire finance committee co-chair for former President George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign. Florida senator Marco Rubio also had a strong night, snapping at Trump’s heels and running a close third.

He criticized Cruz for putting out a statement saying that a fellow candidate, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, was quitting the race, and accused Cruz of lying to thousands of voters about Trump’s policies.
