Trump on suing Cruz: Never mind

Trump, who finished second behind Cruz, lit up Twitter on Wednesday with a series of posts saying the outcome was tainted because the Cruz campaign had deliberately spread misinformation about Trump’s stand on Obamacare and an erroneous report that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race. “That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated”.

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. “They actually looked at his record”, he wrote on his Twitter account. “We need a commander in chief, not a twitterer in chief”. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

Trump has run a media blitzkrieg campaign, dishing out insults against his political rivals, Mexicans, women and Muslims, sucking the television air time away from every other candidate in the race. Marco Rubio, the Florida senator, also surged to third place just behind Trump.

Cruz won 27.7 percent of the vote in the Republican caucus in Iowa, staking his claim to be the new standard bearer of the right.

Despite coming in the bottom of the field in Iowa, Christie said he’s confident he will be the candidate taking on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the fall.

Trump was ahead in basically all of the polls ahead of the caucus, but was surpassed by Cruz, the Texas senator.

Cruz repeatedly raised the prospect that Trump could decide to skip the next GOP debates in SC and in New Hampshire because he found them “stupid”, a term the real-estate magnate once memorably used to describe Iowans attracted to Carson’s campaign. “I don’t care about it anymore, I’m so into New Hampshire now, and making America great again, and winning New Hampshire”. “I think, what he (Cruz) did was disgusting”, Trump told a news channel.
