He told reporters that Trump’s behavior is not the kind of demeanor a US president should have.

Both candidates did poorly in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, which were dominated by conservative Cruz’s defeat of Trump, who has courted controversy by urging a ban on Muslims entering the United States and branding Mexican immigrants as criminals.
“I will continue to carry the torch for liberty in the United States Senate and I look forward to earning the privilege to represent the people of Kentucky for another term”.
Added long-time Carson adviser Armstrong Williams of Cruz: “He cheated”. I said because there’s another room this size where it’s packed also, ” Trump said in Milford.
Rubio describes caucus victor Ted Cruz as chronically “calculating” and points to the failure of others to pull in higher numbers as testament to their inability to lead.
Trump has been leading the Republican polls in New Hampshire, which has historically favored more moderate candidates than Iowa. Carson’s final polling average in Iowa was 7.7 percent. “We’ll beat the _ out of them”, he said. CNN had reported that Carson was returning to Florida for a day or two after Iowa to get clean clothes and to rest.
The event was arranged at the last minute after the candidates agreed to debate again between the Iowa and New Hampshire contests as has been tradition for decades. Spokesmen for the Iowa GOP and the Republican National Committee didn’t return requests for comment.
Carson later said that Cruz personally apologized to him and made it clear that he didn’t agree with the decision of his staffers, which would seem to contradict what Carson said earlier, but who’s keeping track?

Kay Godwin, the grassroots director of Cruz’s Georgia campaign, was well-known as a conservative activist when Cruz asked her to join his effort. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who dropped out of the Democratic race after a disappointing showing in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, accused Wasserman-Schultz previous year of attempting to “circle the wagons and protect” Clinton. And now we have this unhinged tantrum: He also lashed out over the Cruz campaign’s over-the-top, creepy “voter violation” notices they mailed out (which were totally legal and arguably effective), as well as Cruz’s legitimate knocks on Trumpcare – but the “substance” of Trump’s “argument” here revolves around an eleventh-hour rumor regarding Ben Carson.
“It’s important to recognize that there may be some hyperbole and bluster here”, Foley said.
“Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud”, Trump tweeted. Trump is now saying it cost him the caucus win that was supposed to be his – according to polls.
“It’s very hard to void an election and get a new election”.
Carson: You know, *I* didn’t say it, so don’t blame me.
The governor leveled his new attack against Rubio a day after referring to him as the “boy in the bubble” because Christie argues that the senator from Florida refuses submit to rapid fire questions from reporters and New Hampshire voters. He said the narrow Iowa outcome showed his campaign’s ability to take on Clinton’s vast political network and address doubts among voters about his electability.
