Thought the Iowa caucuses were over and done with? Think again! Donald Trump is now demanding a rematch\u00a0against caucus winner Ted Cruz, after claiming the Texas Senator \u2018stole\u2019 the election and committed \u2018fraud!\u2019 See his full Twitter rant\u00a0below!<\/h3>\n

Looks like someone never learned the importance of good sportsmanship! After loosing<\/a> to\u00a0Ted Cruz<\/a><\/strong>, 45, in the all-important Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1,\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>, 69, took to Twitter on Feb. 3 to unleash yet another tirade against his opponent, this time accusing him of \u00a0campaign \u201cfraud\u201d and\u00a0demanding an election rematch!\u00a0But really, are you even surprised?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Though he may have sounded\u00a0\u2014 dare we say it\u00a0\u2014 gracious during his speech immediately following the Iowa caucuses<\/a> on Feb. 1, it didn\u2019t take long for Trump to fall back into his old ways. Taking to Twitter on Feb. 3, the former\u00a0Celebrity Apprentice<\/em> star, went on yet another one of his famous rants in which he not only accused Ted of committing \u201cfraud,\u201d but also demanded that a new election take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cTed Cruz didn\u2019t win Iowa, he illegally stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!,\u201d he originallytweeted<\/a> before deleting\u00a0and then retweeting it, making sure not to include the word \u201cillegally\u201d the second time around. That\u2019s right, Donald. We caught you.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the next\u00a0hour, Trump continued to detail his grievances against Ted, claiming that the Senator\u2019s\u00a0campaign team put out a release prior to the start of the polls telling his supporters that fellow Republican Ben Carson<\/a><\/strong> had dropped out of the race in order to steal his votes.<\/p>\n

Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!<\/p>\n
