Trump Calls for Iowa Caucus Redo, Says Cruz Stole Caucuses

"Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it", he wrote to his six million followers on Twitter.

MILFORD, New Hampshire Donald Trump, the NY businessman seeking the Republican U.S. presidential nomination, said on Tuesday he felt "a tinge" of disappointment after losing to Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses.

"Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare", said Mr Trump of the health insurance scheme so despised by Republicans, which in fact prompted Mr Cruz and other conservatives to shut down the government in 2013.

As the candidates barrel toward New Hampshire, which on Tuesday will hold the election's first primary, early signs have shown Rubio to be climbing there after his Iowa performance.

During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz.

Jeanne Zaino, a professor of political science in NY, said Trump's outburst was a strategic move created to counter the narrative that he lost in Iowa and that his campaign is beatable.

For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton was seeking to turn a narrow victory in Iowa over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders into some momentum. "He's been campaigning saying he's a victor and all of a sudden he comes out of Iowa a loser", she told AFP.

Cruz responded to Trump's accusations by starting the hashtag #Trumpertantrum.

It was an odd victory because the Flyers were dominating in a 4-0 second period but were outplayed in the other two periods. He may not win the Calder Trophy for Rookie of the Year, but he's a lot of amateur judges' late-arriving favorite.

The rumor caught fire when CNN reported Carson was taking a break and flying to Florida.

When asked if he thinks Trump's reactions are amusing, Cruz replied, "I think they're very amusing". The former secretary of state and first lady defeated Sanders by less than three-tenths of 1 per cent, the closest result in Iowa Democratic caucus history, the state party said.

Trump also suggested that one unnamed poll - perhaps widely respected The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics survey, which found him five points ahead of Cruz - had inflated expectations that he would win in the state. He told Fox News' Sean Hannity that he "didn't have much of a ground game because I didn't think I was going to be winning".
