Ted Cruz Wins Over Donald Trump In Iowa Caucus, Trump Says Cruz Rigged The Voting And Wants A Redo
Senator Ted Cruz pushed aside Donald Trump as he ascended to be the winner for the Iowa caucus last Monday. Cruz's extensive visits to 99 counties in the state paid off as he advanced four percent ahead of Trump at the end of the voting.
The presidential race results from 98 percent of precincts present had Cruz at 28 percent of the total vote, Trump bagged 24 of it, while Senator Marco Rubio closely followed him at 23 percent, as reported by New York Times.
Cruz appealed to Evangelical Christians who made up nearly two-thirds of the voters in the caucus. Cruz won about a third of the evangelical vote beating Trump, whose controversial statements fueled his name up in the air. Trump's extreme remarks and showmanship apparently did not gave enough bearing to secure his victory in the race in Iowa, whose voters are mostly conservatives.
"To God be the glory!" cried Cruz as he won, as written in Korea Herald. "Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across Iowa and all across this great nation."
A voting is staked next Tuesday in New Hampshire and spectators are curious whether Cruz and other candidates are going to take his retail method of campaigning which has been proven to be more effective than Trump's media-covered platforms.
Meanwhile, after Trump peacefully congratulated Cruz for his win in Iowa and made an optimistic speech to "go on to get the Republican nomination" and "easily beat Hillary or Bernie or whoever the hell they throw out there," came his outbursts on Twitter the following day accusing Cruz of fraud.
"Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it," Trump wrote in a series of tweets on Wednesday morning.
In his "On the Record" interview with Fox's Greta Van Susteren a few hours later as reported in USA Today, Trump followed up on his statements by saying, "He really lies. I don't like to use that term, but he really lies. What he did was a fraud."
