Donald Trump Goes on a Twitter Tirade, Accuses Ted Cruz of Stealing Iowa Votes
After initially showing that he took his Iowa caucus defeat in stride, Donald Trump's pent up anger can no longer be contained and has now unleashed a flurry of attacks to Ted Cruz in Twitter.
The Donald is now accusing Ted Cruz of stealing his Iowa caucus victory and added that the Texas senator did illegal things, therefore his win should be nullified.
Cruz's victory at the Republican caucuses upset a lot of people, as many analysts saw Trump as winning it in the state. The reason analysts thought so is because for months and even just days leading up to the caucuses, Trump was leading Cruz in the polls.
Trump took to Twitter to express his displeasure and said, "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!"

But it did not stop there, as it's just one of the many tweets the billionaire candidate has sent to the Cruz camp. In addition, Trump mentioned that Cruz's actions during the Iowa caucuses were a bit shady and straight up called it a "fraud."
He further explained his accusations and mentioned Ben Carson, another Republican presidential candidate. Trump mentioned the controversy wherein Cruz apologized to the retired neurosurgeon for saying that he already withdrew from the race, therefore influencing the decision of some voters.
Business Insider reported that Rep. Steve King, a known Ted Cruz supporter, tweeted that "Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope."
Trump alleged that the tweet posted by King was read by some of Carson's voters and believed he is indeed quitting the presidential race, which led them to cast their vote to Cruz.
As for Cruz, he apologized to Carson and expressed regret over what happened, adding that his campaign team should have promoted Carson's statement of denying the rumor -- something his camp directly caused.
In a related report by USA Today, Trump further expressed his disdain for the senator and called him a liar. Trump said that although he said that he was hesitant to call him as such, he really believes that Cruz lied.
During an interview, the mogul-turned-politician even said that what Cruz did to the Carson camp was a total disgrace.
But for Cruz, he dismissed his rival's claim and called it as just another "TrumperTantrum."
The New Hampshire primaries seems more favorable to Trump as of press time, he still leads over Cruz 33 to 11, Real Clear Politics reported.
