Donald Trump says he will probably sue over the results of the Iowa caucuses, accusing Ted Cruz of committing voter fraud to win.

The Cruz campaign apologised to Carson’s camp, saying it was a misunderstanding. “They said he was quitting the race and to vote for him”, said Trump.
“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”.
Trump, who finished second behind Cruz, lit up Twitter on Wednesday with a series of posts saying the outcome was tainted because the Cruz campaign had deliberately spread misinformation about Trump’s stand on Obamacare and an erroneous report that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race. But the U.S. senator from Texas acknowledged another email should have been sent once Carson clarified he was not dropping out.
After a long night of vote-counting, Hillary Clinton has been declared the official victor of the Iowa caucus, barely beating out Bernie Sanders by a margin of.
Amid historically large turnout in Iowa, the unexpected benefactor was Rubio, who came within striking distance of Trump.
Mr. Cruz is not much of a threat to Mr. Trump in New Hampshire, although he devoted a segment of time in his rally toward continuing to criticize the senator, as he has done for weeks.
“I’m pro-life. He told everybody I was pro-choice”.
“The answer is yes, and you know that I have always wanted more debates and secretary Clinton in the beginning was not so interested in more debates”, he said when questioned on whether he’d show up. “Vermont shares a media market with New Hampshire, and the voters of New Hampshire have a history of supporting candidates from New England”, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in the memo, which was obtained by Politico.
“Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across Iowa and all across this great nation”, Cruz, 45, said during an exhausting victory speech that lasted more than 30 minutes. New Hampshire revived her and her husband’s political fortunes in both 2008 and 1992. And then there are the cluster of establishment Republicans: US Senator Marco Rubio, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Ohio Governor John Kasich and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Rick Wilson, a Republican consultant who thinks Rubio is the Republican candidate best placed to win the White House, said the billionaire’s latest outburst was a sign of desperation.
