Trump Demands Do-Over Because Cruz Stole Iowa

Politico reports:

Donald Trump on Wednesday ratcheted up his rhetoric after his loss in the Iowa caucuses, accusing Ted Cruz of “illegally” stealing the election in a tweet that he subsequently deleted. “Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he illegally stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any [sic] why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. The tweet disappeared within minutes of posting. Trump tweeted minutes later, correcting a typo and removing the word “illegally”: “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!”

Last night Cruz apologized to Ben Carson because the Cruz campaign had lied to Carson supporters, telling them at the Iowa caucuses that Carson was dropping out. We’ll never know how many delegates Cruz picked up with what Carson calls a “dirty trick.”

UPDATE: Trump is now calling for a do-over.nullified
