Evidence is mounting that the GOP establishment got it’s hands dirty to sabotage Donald Trump’s prospects in the Iowa primary.
That Ted Cruz emerged on top yesterday came as a shock to even conservatives, many of whom adamantly support Trump and believed that he would achieve an easy victory in the first state to vote in the primaries. But when one looks at the conduct of not only the Cruz campaign but Republican Party leaders.
Most notably, Cruz deliberately fooled Iowans who planned to vote for Ben Carson into thinking that he was about to announce the suspension of his bid for the presidency, with Cruz supporters fraudulently representing themselves as Carson campaign spokesmen to Republicans online and even murmuring about it at caucus sites so as to discourage people from voting for him.
Additionally, National Review published a widely-criticized volume of it’s magazine bluntly titled “Against Trump”, collecting pieces from personalities like Glenn Beck, Bill Kristol and John Podheretz in the hopes of turning readers against the Donald. The magazine’s extensive reach and influence likely played some part in Trump’s defeat.

Yup
They are crooked and will remain crooked.
Lycrusia Jackson You continue with your blabber, you are on so many of these posts trying to sound important. Cruz CHEATED. I hope they pursue that too.
The reason he used so little of his money is that he promised our future tax dollars to support ethanol subsidies. In corn producing Iowa, this is big business, and the sitting governor always likes the federal dollars rolling in. In this case, the governor is Branstad, who, amazingly, decided that he was a Trump supporter. Thus, he used his influence to push caucus goers into voting for Trump. Now, we find out that Trump is upset because a Cruz campaign lieutenant tweeted a CNN story that indicated that Carson is quitting. Trump doesn’t really think this, but he is spinning this to say that this is what made Cruz win (by 5000 votes). So, Trump used our future tax dollars in the event that he is elected, to buy votes, and says that Cruz is a crook, because of a tweet. This, to me, requires the willing suspension of disbelief.

Did not expect anything less.
Get your facts straight Cruze did win. Trump is just a sore looser.
