DONALD Trump accused Ted Cruz of fraud in the Iowa caucuses, Rand Paul dropped out of the crowded Republican race and candidates from both major parties focused on New Hampshire before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary next Tuesday. Trump said that is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated.
Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.
The controversy erupted after CNN reported Monday night that Carson would go home to Florida following the Iowa caucuses instead of flying directly to the early voting states New Hampshire and SC.
The poll found the most support for Rubio in a theoretical three-man race for the nomination, with 34% picking the Florida senator compared with 33% for Trump and 25% for Cruz.
“Reality has hit the reality star”, Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler responded in a statement.
“There are Twitter addiction groups, and he should check in with his local chapter”. Trump leads at 34% over Rubio at 14%, Kasich 13% and Cruz at 12%.
“Some people thought the debate, you know, not doing the debate might have been a positive for perhaps my opponents”, Trump said. According to the theory Trump floated in Wednesday morning’s tweet storm, it has a lot to do with retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who came in fourth.

Cruz took 28 percent, followed by Trump at 24 percent. “You’d have to prove wrongdoing that had a outcome of effecting the result”, Foley said, noting Cruz had apologized for his staff not following up with caucus-goers on the Carson reports.
Too controversial “I was going to say, “They’re full of shit”. “I think the result was quite good, especially for the amount of time I spent and the amount of money I spent”.

“While Sanders did very well, in some ways perhaps surprisingly well, I don’t think it changes the trajectory of the race very much”, Redlawsk said.
