Donald Trump’s streak of graciousness following the close battle in Iowa has come to a screeching halt this week, but for once his anger has company in an unlikely group of individuals.
He, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, and even the ever docile Ben Carson are all coming together to criticize the tactics Ted Cruz used to secure his surprisingly big win in Iowa this week. All three have released statements calling out “unethical and unfair” coercion techniques, and Trump — of course — is threatening to sue.
That very threat from Trump had many dismissing the accusations as typical Trump bombast, but the inclusion of less hyperbolic personalities now has many paying attention. Cruz, it seems, could be in a bit of trouble.
While it’s unlikely that Cruz broke any election laws — the primary is technically run by a private organization, the Republican Party, and is therefore not necessarily beholden to government oversight — the bad press could definitely hurt the Senator’s already less-than-sterling reputation among many in the GOP.

Yes, Cruz Campaign Did Lie About CNN Starting Ben Carson Rumor. CNN reported.
CNN never reported that Carson was out, or making a big announcement next week.
The rumor was started by Rep. Steve King with a pair of tweets that were sent at 8:19 pm Eastern time Monday night.
Shelley Bronowitz Jake Tapper will tell you if you research it.
Lycrusia Jackson you, Gale Dodge and Greg Hedger will find out the truth. The truth will prevail…

Cruz is done .. if Ben leaves the race he supports Rubio or Trump. Which is the last national poll puts him at 11%. Rubio is at 21% and Cruz at 21%. And after this cheating thing I don’t see Carson backing Cruz.
This is just Fox trying to get more votes for their candidate. They want bush or Rubio.
Good one. Lol!
