Still national GOP frontrunner Donald Trump conceded at a press conference Tuesday that not participating in the Iowa GOP debate (over his tiff with Fox News) might have affected his showing in Iowa, where he was something of a surprise second to Sen.
With caucus season upon us and less than 10 months to go until the 2016 Presidential elections, expect these frenzied exchanges from Sanders and Clinton-be it at a debate or on social media-to continue.
He also said he had not tried very hard to win Iowa.
Rightwinger Ted Cruz won the Republican contest with 26 per cent, beating populist buffoon Donald Trump’s 23 per cent.
“I haven’t been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it’s shouting”, Clinton said at an October Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines.
“Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud”, Trump wrote. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have camped out in the state, hoping to salvage their flagging campaigns.
Before Trump’s tweets on Wednesday, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN the Texas senator had apologized personally to Carson.

Rubio is the slick young politician who memorizes his speeches and hides behind his staff who constantly feed him updated talking points.
Opening a town hall meeting at a pub in Lebanon on Wednesday, Christie labeled the 44-year-old first-term senator as the untested “boy in the bubble” while Christie himself is an old “nicked-up pick-up truck”.
“You don’t want someone on that stage who looks good in a controlled situation in a TV studio, but when the mud starts to get thrown, all of sudden, looks like a deer in the headlights”, Christie said.
A DNC spokesman confirmed to the Post that the four debates-the first of which will be held on Thursday in New Hampshire-will “all be sanctioned”.
