Trump recants his Iowa concession calls Ted Cruz a liar and a cheat

Just one day after accepting defeat in the Iowa caucuses and ceding to his chief rival, GOP candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump is calling the results fraudulent.

While polls showed Trump leading Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the lead-up to Monday’s vote, Trump came in second by 4 percentage points. On Tuesday, Trump was conciliatory, saying that while he had lost Iowa, he was still proud of his performance. But by Wednesday, Trump, a prolific Twitter user, had changed his tune.

Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.

Trump went on to criticize Cruz for lying to voters telling them rival, Dr. Ben Carson, had dropped out of the race when he hadn’t. He also slammed Cruz’s campaign for sending out mailers accusing voters of a sham “voting violation.”

he is making it up as he goes, but Cruz would come as close to the Nazi Party as we have ever been in USA.

Rubio, not sure.

and the things he says about Muslims and what he would do to them chills my blood. It may all be a show, but what makes me worry is how the people react to his words. Maybe that is the scary thing- that so many think like this.

10. The best thing that could happen is if he got really mad at the GOP and decided to run third party.
