Trump on Iowa: ‘I’m Into New Hampshire Now’

Last year, the Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders pointed to Denmark as a country that the USA could aspire to in a number of areas, including social welfare.

“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”.

Ever since Donald Trump rode his white-hot rhetoric on immigration to the top of the Republican presidential field, one question has lingered: When voters went to, you know, vote, would they have second thoughts about supporting the Donald?

At a rally in Exeter, New Hampshire, Mr Trump continued his anti-establishment rants with a more ferocious attack on the Republicans running against him.

Next Tuesday’s results determine how the state’s delegates will be allocated, which ultimately determines who will become their party’s nominee. “And yet with Marco, who was more than 2,000 votes behind me – that’s a lot of votes by the way – they said, ‘Oh, he’s surging, he’s surging, ‘” he recalled.

According to the latest RealClearPolitics average of the latest polls, Trump leads all candidates with 32.8% support.

Mr Trump also cited Cruz leaflets that accused Iowans of “voting violations”.

In the weeks before the Iowa caucuses, Trump held leads in nearly every statewide and national poll though his dominance in Iowa wobbled after Cruz won a key endorsement from a local evangelical Christian leader.

“The caucus system is a complex system that I was never familiar with”, Trump said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”. The poll found Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are tied with 21 percent, followed by Ben Carson at 11 percent. Cruz has since apologized to Carson. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was full of it after he blamed the cable channel for his snafu with Republican rival Ben Carson during the night of the Iowa caucus.

The New Hampshire primary will take place on Tuesday.

“It is no surprise that Donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum – or, if you’d like, yet another ‘Trumpertantrum, ‘ It seems that his reaction to everything is to throw a fit, to engage in insults”, Cruz told reporters in New Hampshire.
