Christie to Trump: You don't get a do-over in Iowa

Leading US presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused his Republican rival Ted Cruz of cheating to win in Iowa, and demanded a new vote in the state.

Two days after finishing second in Iowa, Donald Trump is now alleging that victor Ted Cruz cheated and is threatening to sue over the results.

Still, Mr. Trump, who still holds a sizable lead in the New Hampshire polls despite the Iowa setback, got closer to voters on one of his most hectic schedules yet.

While he may have hit his "ceiling", as conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat wrote on Twitter, Trump has now clearly demonstrated that he is not a media phenomenon with no real support in the form of actual votes. "There are support groups for Twitter addiction, perhaps he should find his local chapter".

"Ted Cruz proved he could successfully beat back Trump attacks because he had a great ground game and identified well with evangelical voters".

"Bernie is contesting #IA results. Bet they'd love #TrumpCare", Cruz tweeted.

He also said he had not tried very hard to win Iowa. However, they do have partial records.

This Is What Gravitational Waves Sound Like
And LIGO can detect these waves in a volume of 1 billion cubic light years that covers almost 1 million galaxies like Milky Way. In 2014, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had announced a facility dedicated to the effort of detection of gravitational waves.

Now, it's true that Cruz engaged in more than his share of last-minute shenanigans in efforts to sway Iowa Republicans.

Mr Trump tweeted: "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".

"Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud", he added.

Upon hearing reports that their candidate was leaving the trail to return to his home in Florida, Team Carson responded swiftly, saying the retired neurosurgeon was only going home for clean clothes but was then headed to New Hampshire for the February 9 primary. The Cruz campaign informed Iowa precinct captains while the caucuses were underway that Carson was taking a break and suggested that he was suspending his campaign.

Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN on Wednesday that Cruz apologized personally to Carson for the mistake. "I think we'll get a lot of Sanders' voters". "It was yet another example of creating rather than reporting the news, and it's wrong".

"For Clinton, it was clearly a case of surviving and advancing", said Dante Scala, associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire".

Bush, Rubio, Christie and John Kasich are the fight of their political careers in New Hampshire, where each hopes to finish in the top three, which is considered a ticket to ride in the next leg of the race. "It was breaking news that was relevant", Cruz said.

Church talks help make Cuba 'perfect place for negotiations'
Indeed, the relationship between the two churches could blossom given this historic Cuban encounter. Relations between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Kiev Patriarchate have also frayed.

'Jeb's comment is interesting - he endorsed me, he wanted me to be the vice president, ' Rubio said.

Mr Santorum, a former USA senator from Pennsylvania, has failed to take off in this campaign. That means both the existing candidates and the existing ways of learning about them. "And that was BS".

Sanders's left-leaning politics also alarms the party elite, who see Clinton as the best prospect of keeping the Republicans out of the White House.

"I think whoever is responsible for blatant lying should be dismissed, absolutely".

He went on to call for action to remedy what he saw as inappropriate action.

"You know when you go and you speak a little bit rough to somebody and you end up fighting for your job, it's not going to happen anymore", he said. "Now, if (Cruz) agrees with it, he doesn't need to make changes...."

The email, sent by a Cruz staffer in Iowa named Spence Rogers, was confirmed by outlets such as The Daily Caller and CNN.
