Donald Trump has claimed Ted Cruz committed “fraud” in his successful campaign to win the Republican Iowa caucuses on Monday, and has called for a new election. Live Trump calls for Iowa do-over after second-place finish – campaign live Follow live-wire coverage of the 2016 election as Kentucky senator Rand Paul suspends his campaign and Trump accuses Cruz of stealing Iowa Read more

The businessman, who came in second in Iowa, tweeted:

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

Earlier, Trump accused Cruz of “stealing” the election in the key state, the first to vote in this stage of the 2016 presidential election.

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. Bad!

He accused the Cruz campaign of telling Iowa voters that fellow candidate Ben Carson was quitting the race so he could steal Carson’s votes.

“During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz,” Trump wrote. “Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

“The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter (grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud.”

He added that “Cruz strongly told thousands of caucusgoers (voters) that Trump was strongly in favor of Obamacare and ‘choice’ – a total lie!”

Cruz had issued an apology of sorts to the Carson campaign for spreading the rumor on election night that Carson was dropping out of the race, which Cruz characterized as an honest “mistake”: Sign up for the Campaign Minute - the election condensed every day Read more

“Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story,” Cruz said in a statement on Tuesday.

“That’s fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out.”

In addition, the Texas senator and his presidential campaign were formally denounced by top state officials for sending mailers to Iowa voters accusing them of a “voting violation” – in an apparent effort to scare voters to the polls.

The mailers included a voting score and included the phrase “official public record”. They referred to the recipients by name, and also their neighbors, as part of a broader attempt to shame them for not having participated in prior elections.

Some campaign observers criticized Trump for decrying what was simply politics as usual. Stuart Stevens, a former strategist for 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney, wrote: To beat John McCain in South Carolina in 2000, the George W Bush campaign used a Bible professor to spread a rumor that “McCain chose to sire children without marriage”. Lee Atwater helped George HW Bush beat Michael Dukakis in 1988 by cutting a racist commercial tying Dukakis to a rape and stabbing by convicted murderer Willie Horton while on furlough.

Trump fights.

This is the great thing about him.

Truth is, we tolerate lies in politics that ARE criminal fraud in business. If Cruz's campaign were a business and published what they published regarding Carson in a business context, they would be sued, and Carson would win.

There is no right to deceive people to cause them to sign a contract or take an action.

Politicians exempt themselves from their lies, but Trump is a businessman, and he is holding a politician, Cruz, accountable for his organization's lies. He is holding a politician accountable to the higher BUSINESS standard of honesty.

And that's great, because America DESERVES to have its politicians held to the same standard of honesty that the laws the politicians pass hold every one of US to.

This sort of fighting is great, because there's no damned reason why the people should have to settle for lies from politicians as "business as usual".

Cruz may be the first politician in modern history to actually be held ACCOUNTABLE for lying to "win". (And what did he "win"? One more delegate than Trump and Rubio. woo hoo.)

If Trump is the nominee, Hillary will be the second politician held accountable for her lies, because he will call her a liar to her face, repeatedly, in open debate and open mikes. The media has covered for her, but they can't bleep out Trump.

Now, we all KNOW that Hillary is a liar. Did you hear the DEMOCRATS chanting "Hillary's a liar!" in the Bernie Sanders events? We all know it, but nobody says it in a forum where she cannot escape.

Trump will stand there in a televised debate and call her a liar to her face, over and over, and she won't be able to run away, and the media will have to show it.

Trump didn't LOSE anything.

Caucuses are not "first past the post" or "winner take all". People get delegates proportionally. Cruz got 8. Trump and Rubio got 7.

Cruz's organization tweeted a lie to try to induce voters to vote for Cruz, since Carson was supposedly "out". That's fraud.

Trump is right to call attention to it and to hammer Cruz on it.

That's what Hillary and the DRat thugs are telling their faithful, i.e. - they nominate Trump we win.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Trump is a shill for the Clintons.

OTOH Evita and thugs fear a Rubio-Fiorina ticket.

Trump is Perot v2.0.

Even Bill Xlinton couldn't win without a shill dividing the GOP vote. Hitlery is even worse.
