Real estate mogul Donald Trump accused Ted Cruz of fraud on Wednesday, claiming the Texas senator "stole" the Iowa caucuses and arguing that "either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified."
Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!

Trump, who placed second to Cruz in the Hawkeye State, unleashed a barrage of tweets attacking Cruz for playing dirty in Iowa because one of the senator's staffers falsely told Iowa caucus-goers that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson planned to quit the race. Cruz later apologized for his staffer's actions.
The GOP businessman also slammed Cruz for sending out shady mailers claiming Iowans faced a "VOTING VIOLATION.”
Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

Trump is a master at sucking the oxygen out of the race by drawing attention to himself with new controversies. The Twitter rant is just one more example of this media strategy, particularly at a time when Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are basking in the glow of their performances in Iowa.

Trump is the exact opposite of what this country needs. I'll take Cruz any day over Trump, not to say I like Cruz though.

So, you choose to post this and not what Cruz did, his bs apology to Carson or how pissed Carson is about it? I saw Carson on the news and it was the first time that I have actually seen what would be an emotionally charged segment. He is pissed.
Cruz did steal it, from not only Trump but it could have been Rubio also or, with Carson placing well, votes from him directly. It was a dirty thing that he Cruz campaign. Carson has the 3rd largest donation fund right now and he is not a joke in the candidacy.
You created nothing but a hit piece OP against Trump.
