The Iowa Republican Party caucuses were the first test of whether front-runner Donald Trump’s unconventional populist appeal would fully translate into actual votes.

On Tuesday in Milford, New Hampshire, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump held his first event in the Granite State since his second-place finish in Iowa. Ben Carson, whose outsider candidacy has faded since the calendar hit 2016, comes in fourth with 11 percent.
Mr. Cruz has dismissed the charge as Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to muddy up the conversation. “And I do think it affected that”. “I ended up coming in second”.
“Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified”, the former “Apprentice” star continued. “Let’s give it a shot.’ They said, ‘Don’t do it.’ I said, ‘I have to do it.’ And, we finished second, and I want to tell you something, I’m just honored, I’m really honored”, Trump said.
Trump also made mention of a deceptive mailer distributed by the Cruz campaign created to shame Iowa voters into caucusing. Bush has more resources and more donors to go forward and actually undertake an extended fight against the senator than Kasich or Christie, but if he does not ultimately drop out of the race before the Florida primary, he could be helping to ensure a Trump or Cruz candidacy.
Trump, who was leading in the last polls in Iowa, with the Des Moines Register poll released on January 31 showing him with 28 percent of the vote, ended up with 24.3 percent, with 23.1 percent for Rubio.
But Trump didn’t stop there as he leveled other claims against Cruz, including that the Texas senator falsely suggested he supported Obamacare.
“I said to myself, ‘That’s unusual…In fact, you would have thought he had won”.

“I don’t think T’s meltdown today is helping his campaign”, he told AFP.

The news about Carson came from CNN which reported he was taking a break after the Iowa caucus to fly to Florida before moving onto New Hampshire.
