TRUMP: I Will 'Probably' Sue Because Ted Cruz Cheated In Iowa

Source: AOL News/Boston Herald Feb 3rd 2016 1:19PM

After accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of "illegally" stealing a win from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'll "probably" sue over the results of the vote.
Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio, that was flagged by BuzzFeed.
When asked if he would file a formal complaint over the caucuses' results, Trump replied, "probably."
"What [Cruz] did is unthinkable," Trump said, later stating that Cruz was a "really fraudulent" character.
Earlier in the day, Trump fired off a raging tweetstorm accusing Cruz of cheating in Iowa. Trump even suggested the Republican Party take the unprecedented step of holding a do-over election in Iowa or nullifying Cruz's results.

more odds Hillary did than Ted smh even if Bernie isn't going after coin tosses, the show the votes hash tag is the quick way to end it. the format we had it in it was difficult to count so we got in groups of 10. and with all the kids around who knows if some of the 10's might have been 8 either way SDE's are a big deal and that there are 8 Omalley's out there that could go Bernie. if there's 4 SDE's difference between Hillary and Bernie who end up voting for the 1600 that go on later in the year that could be a big deal. If all 8 went to Bernie it would be a 4 SDE Victory over hillary and switch the delegate count. and thats what all the other sites say. SDE's go on to the state convention in March. and I know it's happened before. That so and so wins in one month then at the state convension the other wins. Basically as far as I understand Hillary has to play nice to the SDE's from Omalley's or they might all go Bernie. As for cheating on the Republican side. It's more straight forward. I still prefer the Democratic method because it gets us pumped up.,.

The other...what is it, thirty-eight now?...Republican contenders will simply band together to buy every 48-foot billboard in the state, and put this message on them:

"Donald Trump's shit fit is costing YOU
(insert the price of the do-over election, all the way across the board)
Don't Vote For Him!"

What happens to The Donald's ego after he demands an expensive revote, not paid for by him, and absolutely no one votes for him?

Keep in mind that this guy had ZERO operations on the ground.

He didn't hire people because he didn't want to share the credit for his victory.

Please do this! The Republican primary campaign is the best reality show ever! Will Ben Carson awaken from his coma and how will we know? Is Ted Cruz a natural born citizen? Is there enough water to slake Rubio's thirst? Can Carly Fiorina set the Guinness World Record for most lies in a single campaign? Will the people of New Jersey shut down all bridges to keep Chris Christie out? Who is Jim Gilmore? I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode!

I am enjoying the infighting. Hillary & Bernie are the adults in the room. Rubio is trying to look that way, but it's hard when you really look like you're 12.

supporters. Now, were they were influenced by Steve King's tweet or did they jump ship because Carson's campaign has lost steam? Who knows. But one thing for certain. Carson supporters would NOT have decided to vote for Trump.

Granted, Ted Cruz is a slimebag asshole, but we've all known that for years.

But the thought of Donald Trump not being number one absolutely kills his NPD ego. It has to constantly eat at him. He won't go quietly, but I think eventually, he will have to go. And his demise will be entertaining as hell.
