Trump is having a tough time dealing with his loss in Iowa. The successive stages of his bewilderment have been silence, whining, and excuse-making, and now he is accusing his chief tormentor of committing crimes, not just against Trump’s ego, but against the American people. Trump this morning tweeted, then deleted, this:
He amended that rash claim in a subsequent tweet:
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!

It turns out Trump is referring to some sketchy mailers sent out by the Cruz campaign and attempts by the campaign to spread rumors that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race. Trump is now hilariously calling for a re-do.
Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

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