Rubio and Cruz over last week’s poll came among voters who identify as Republicans.

Mr Trump has claimed that the senator “stole” the Republican caucuses and accused him of “fraud” because his campaign issued a release to say that another conservative candidate, retired surgeon Ben Carson, had left the race and voters then turned to the Texan. The Constitution requires the president to be a natural-born citizen, which Trump and some legal experts contend requires the person be born on American soil. He criticized the media for focusing more on Rubio’s third-place showing than his second, calling journalists “miserable people” and encouraging the crowd to boo them.
Some Cruz allies shared that news widely on the night of the caucuses, including to Carson supporters, but did not include the part about Carson remaining in the race.
The results vaulted Rubio to second place. Ted Cruz of Texas in the Monday-night Iowa caucuses. Rubio comes in at 16 percent and Kasich finishes with 14 percent. Florida Senator Marco Rubio came in a close third with 23%. Only half of Republican voters said they would be “enthusiastic” or “satisfied” with Trump becoming the nominee. “Financial markets might be more comfortable with Hillary (Clinton) than Bernie (Sanders)”, said Sean Callow, a strategist at Westpac Bank in Australia.
The seven Florida leaders who signed onto the letter praised Bush’s record as governor of the state and warned against nominating Rubio. A full 16 percent of all broadcast spots were attack ads against him. 3 percentage points – 49.6 percent to 49.9 percent – in Tuesday’s caucuses in Iowa, according to the Iowa Democratic Party.
Trump, who owns Trump National Golf Club, Hudson Valley, in Stormville, still holds 30 percent of the vote from likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate or who have voted absentee. He said New Hampshire voters often “reset” political expectations as the effect of the Iowa results fades into the past. Moreover, another debate will occur before the New Hampshire voting.
He shunned the last primary debate before the Iowa caucuses but relished the drama triggered by his snub of the top USA news network and taunted his rivals at the competing fundraising event schemed to chide them.
They’re trying to reach people like Bill Zeiler from Bow, New Hampshire.

“Rubio has gotten angrier as the campaign progressed”, warning about an increasingly unsafe world, he said. While Sanders could very well take New Hampshire, his success in other states remains largely unlikely – unless he expands his reach.
