Cruz apologized to Carson on Tuesday for his campaign not sending out updates that Carson was doing laundry and not dropping out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most disgusting things I\u2019ve ever seen. They said he was quitting the race and to vote for him,\u201d said Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would sue, Trump said, \u201cI probably will; what he did is unthinkable. He said the man has left the race and he said it during the caucus. And then when the clarification was put out by Ben Carson saying it\u2019s untrue, they got the statement and they didn\u2019t put it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey apologized after the caucus was over; how does that help?\u201d added Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, echoing accusations he made earlier on Wednesday in a series of tweets, called Cruz\u2019s action \u201ctotal voter fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a total voter fraud when you think of it and he picked up a lot of those votes and that\u2019s why the polls were so wrong, because of that,\u201d continued Trump. \u201cI couldn\u2019t understand why the polls were wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/01\/30\/politics\/ted-cruz-mailer-iowa-caucuses-voter-violation\/\">also attacked Cruz for sending out a controversial<\/a> mailer claiming voters had committed a \u201cvoter violation\u201d by not voting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody is\u2026he did another thing which was almost as bad. He put a voter violation certificate. I don\u2019t know if you got to see that and it looked just like it was sent by a government. It talked about you\u2019re in violation. It says voter violation up top on very official-looking stationery. The way you clear it up is go and vote for Cruz. The whole thing is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump stated, again, Cruz was \u201ca nasty guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pro-life. He told everybody I was pro-choice. He also said I was totally in favor of Obamacare and it\u2019s the exact opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guy is really fraudulent,\u201d Trump concluded.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/andrewkaczynski\/trump-says-hell-probably-sue-over-iowa-results-accuses-cruz#.ixXpN2D53\">http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/andrewkaczynski\/trump-says-hell-probably-sue-over-iowa-results-accuses-cruz#.ixXpN2D53<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThis guy is really fraudulent,\u201d Trump says of Cruz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
