So Trump is accusing other candidates of deceit, of trying anything and saying anything to get attention/votes?

Trump is flat out accusing Cruz of stealing Iowa now. The evidence is there. He should confront Marcosoft's fraud as well.

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!

EDIT - there's more tweets:

During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz.

Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud

And finally, Cruz strongly told thousands of caucusgoers (voters) that Trump was strongly in favor of ObamaCare and "choice" - a total lie!

Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

Their selection methods have seemed a little peculiar at times, at least for that specific prize.  They may add a "Pizza Prize" soon though.

Of course not, never said he was but the whole process is just a joke by virtue of a lot of the eventual winners (including Obama) in comparison to who their competition was. Peace prize indeed.

It seems like a pretty thin claim and an even thinner probability:
"Kristian Berg Harpviken, a Noble watcher and head of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo, told Reuters the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has also been tipped for an award, alongside Colombian peace negotiators, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
He also a claimed to have seen a letter submitted by an unidentified US nominator who proposed Trump for “his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, Isis, nuclear Iran and Communist China”. He did not list Trump as one of the candidates who actually has a chance of winning.
 

I reckon he is trying to be like Obama.  Meh, it is not like the Nobel hasn't lost its credibility long ago anyway.

 

Donald Trump ‘nominated for Nobel Peace Prize’ for 'vigorous peace through strength ideology'

"No one remembers who came in second"

Trump got the second highest vote in history for that caucus and he has never held office. Keep trying to spin that as a terrible loss. Plus the vote was rigged to boost Rubio and then Cruz used dirty tricks to steal votes from Carson. All in all Trump did extremely well considering the B.S. that went on, more of which will emerge soon.

HIS IMPERIAL AND ROYAL MAJESTY arrived yesterday evening at the Tuileries, amid the joyful acclamation of his devoted and faithful subjects 

If you want to really understand Trump, then think of Jim Carrey's character in Liar, Liar.

So Trumps event went well. $6,000,000 raised for veterans, £1,000,000 out of his own pocket. The donation website went down under the load.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania both made appearances.

Leading up to the event Trump had commented that Fox was calling him every 15 minutes.

The Drudge Poll for Republican pick for president now puts Trump at 62%, Cruz 17%, Rubio 7% & Paul 6%. 460,000 people have voted so far.

Oh and Ivanka is pregnant.

He did it Thursday night, dazzling a crowd of hundreds of enthusiastic supporters by announcing that he had raised more than $6 million for veterans in one day — $1 million of it from his own checkbook. "We love our vets," he said.

"You know, my whole theme is make America great again and that's what we're going to do —- and we wouldn't have even been here if it weren't for our vets," Trump said.

Even Trump seemed a bit surprised that he had pulled off his stunt: "Look at all the cameras. This is like the Academy Awards," the real estate magnate said as he took the stage in an auditorium at Drake University about 20 minutes after the debate began a few miles away. "We're actually told that we have more cameras than they do by quite a bit, and you know what that's really in honor of our vets."

The rally was a restrained performance by Trump standards. He dispensed with his usual riff about his poll numbers and mostly avoided jabs at his fellow candidates (with the exception of a "low-energy" shot at Jeb Bush).

 

Donald Trump says in an interview he has already collected $5 million from big donors for veterans and $400,000 through his website.
