for eligibility to be President of the United States, something Americans have known the meaning of since our country was formed.

Also, here's the deal as I believe it came down. Trump Supporters are the most All-In, most devoted, most loyal. But there were also Trump Supporters in Iowa who were in the less committed category, and that was about 30% of Trump's followers. Of that 30%, about 15% were were very likely and the last 15% were somewhat likely to vote for Trump.

Okay, in the last 2 days, Trump was ahead by 5% to 7%. So, with a large turnout which he got, if half of his "somewhat likelies" or half of tht 15% were diverted by some scheme, like what Steve King did, to raise doubts about his character, honesty, integrity regarding the endorsements, then that could bite into that 15%. The first time King ran it through was before the Des Moines Register poll, and it didn't stick. So after that poll came out, he ramped it up again on Caucus day with "I know things and felt I had an obligation to tell the voters", and did in on multi-media methods on Caucus Day, that morning.

Then when it was obvious during the Caucus that this was working from the early votes, it didn't look like it was enough to put Cruz over the top, they pulled the stunt with the Carson voters and if his voters who hadn't voted yet voted for Cruz, then that would be enough to close it out from Cruz. No Republican voter in Iowa or anywhere else would have reason to doubt Steve King on such a statement, they would accept that as true, so enough of the Carson voters who hadn't voted yet and the somewhat likely to vote for Trump turned off by the Steve "I know things" fraud on Trump's endorsements, were together more than enough to cost Donald Trump the win he was otherwise entitled to and would have had but for these dishonest frauds against voters and candidates.

The polls prove it wasn't Trump, he was leading in every poll, it wasn't the debate because he got bumps in the polls taken after the debate, it wasn't the weekend, because the toughest most exact poll, the Des Moines Register poll had him leading on Sunday night.

No, it was the dishonest actions of Steve King on Monday, Caucus Day, 1 against Trump ramping up the endorsement buying lie and 1 against Carson during the Caucus claiming Carson was suspending his campaign. Some of those Trump votes went to Cruz and some went to other candidates, like Rubio.
Steve King is the National Co-Chairman for the Ted Cruz Campaign. So these tactics will not be limited to Iowa. Every campaign in every state needs to have a heads-up, beware and be ready not to rely on anything that comes out of the mouth of Steve King or Rick Tyler, who is the Communications Director of the Ted Cruz Campaign and bunker down for an absolutely filthy campaign.

Trump Supporters need to go on the War Path. Also, the actual tally was not a four point difference being reported, it was 3.6%, about 6,200 votes out of 180,000 votes.

Cruz is shamelessly dishonest in my view, and Steve King ... well, he has no ethics at all.

Winning Iowa for Cruz is almost a promise of defeat in the national primary based on history. For Trump it would have been a plus. But for anyone else probably their first and last victory speech which is all voting on values will get you, which according to Fox News today is what the plurality of Cruz voters were voting. The plurality of Trump voters were voting on immigration, so he won his policy issue. The plurality of Rubio voters were voting on electability.

Cruz opening statement at his victory speech last night was "To God Be the Glory" with that snake Steve King standing behind him. Well, for most of US, cheating to win is not the "Glory", it's just cheating. Hopefully this election Americans will be heads up, election-wise, snake hunters. We've been robbed enough by these dishonest all talk, no action reptiles, so we're not going to let them steal our elections too.

STAY TRUE!! STAY TRUMP!!
I see you're still rationalizing and making excuses for Trump's loss. Not very becoming. At least I can give Trump credit for being humble in the loss and accepting it with a positive message for moving forward.
