Donald Trump said he wouldn’t call his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses a “loss,” arguing that he would have come in first if Ted Cruz hadn’t taken votes from Ben Carson, The Hill reports.
Said Trump: “It wasn’t a loss, I came in second. And I only came in second because of the fact that Cruz took a lot of votes away from Carson that should not have been taken away.”
He even suggested hat the results could be reversed.
