He didn't mention Microsoft. What is Microsoft doing "counting" ballots anyway? What I saw was a bunch of plastic bins people were throwing paper ballots in. You need an app to count them?

So when someone does something shady, we should look the other way?


Imagine the outrage if Trump had done the same thing Cruz did.


It's like people expect politicians to be so worthless and disappointing, that they are held to this super low standard now where it's acceptable to be crooked.

There's The Donald with his Twitter-fied short word elegance: "bad!" Yep, petulant sore loser, just the kind of guy who should have the nuclear launch codes
And then there's the matter of the 5,000+ people who favorited/liked this tweet: by doing this, are they agreeing with him or just bookmarking [sic], or both? I wish there'd be a "not favorite/dislike" button!

All you can do is shake your head. He's embarrassing himself.

This is a learning experience for Trump - Dirty Politics... One thing abgout Trump, he doesn't forget when someone did him wrong....

....."Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"....

It's no wonder Trump and his fans are called the names that they are, he is so transparent.

It would be fraud and stealing the election if the Cruz campaign made it up, it would be fraud if the Cruz campaign sent it out knowing it was false. If they went by an erroneous Cnn report it was dumb but not fraud. Trump wants to make an issue because his ego can't deal with the fact he lost.

I get it, but Carson already called Cruz out on it. Trump gets involved but comes across as small and petty. His campaign advisers should hire someone to censor and edit his Twitter account before before Trump sends out another tweet.

Trump allowing himself to be censored by underlings? Never gonna happen. The manchild's ego would never stand for that.

More than just his Twitter account, I still think a man seeking to be Commander in Chief labeling soldiers captured in battle as LOSERS! is one of the most asinine statements I've heard in any political campaign.

That tweet initially said "illegally stole". Mr. Trump deleted it and then tweeted with just "stole."

Quote:
"Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he illegally stole it," Trump wrote in a tweet, since deleted. "That is why all of the polls were so wrong any[sic] why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!"

https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/stat...78854729621505

Trump quickly deleted his original tweet, and then tweeted it again without the word "illegally" and fixing the typo.

He also said that he wants a do over of the Iowa caucuses.
