No, Cruz Didn't Win Iowa By Cheating. Here's Why Trump's Pushing That Narrative

No, Ted Cruz did not cheat to win Iowa.

This is the latest charge from Donald Trump, who has been flailing about for an explanation as to how The Yugest Winner™ became Iowa’s Biggest Loser. First he said he had no real ground game in Iowa; then he claimed that the media sandbagged him; now he’s explaining that he was thwarted by Cruz’s evil Canadian usurpation.

Yesterday, Trump ripped into Cruz for supposedly lying about Ben Carson’s decision to leave Iowa early, as well as the Cruz campaign mailer telling Iowans whether they had voted in previous elections. He then added, “No, it’s honestly really, really dishonest. And I think I know why. You know why? Because he was born in Canada…He gets the nomination, they’re going to sue his ass off.”

Assumptive.

If Trump 'had no ground game' in Iowa, why did he come in second?

Bingo. He was polling first there before the ground game started. His polling wasn't from door knocking.

Exactly.  100% name recognition, and wall to wall free media (helped along by the fact that he continues to say and do outrageous and immature things to keep his name in the news).

Whereas Cruz did the "full Grassley"........ hitting every county in the state.

Trump also dissed the Iowa voters by his childish histrionics about Megyn Kelly and his boycotting the debate.

That couldn't have helped.


But that, of course, won't stop the whining.....   **nononono*

Despite the full non stop support of the "Conservative" Media and the "greatest ground game in history" why did Cruz come out of Iowa with only 1 more delegate then Trump and Rubio?

 Cruz and Trump are going to eat each other and hand the nomination to "the third way" Rubio with this nonsense

Here is what is echoing through the caverns of my brain - and I suspect it has been mentioned by others:

DT said something to the effect that he would not run third party unless he was treated "unfairly".  Table is being set.

I hope you're wrong, but it sounds pretty likely.  And, then we can say hello to a Bernie/Hillary presidency.  God help us.

A frightening, yet perfectly reasonable thought......
