A spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has shot back at Donald Trump after the real-estate mogul accused Cruz of stealing a win in the Monday-night Iowa caucuses.
In a string of tweets Wednesday morning, Trump accused Cruz of "illegally" stealing the victory and suggested that Cruz's vote total should be "nullified." He later went on Boston Herald Radio and said that he would "probably" file a formal complaint over the caucus results.
Rick Tyler, a spokesman for the Cruz campaign, then suggested in a statement to NBC News that Trump should check in to a "Twitter addiction therapy group."
"Reality has hit the reality star," Tyler said. "Since Iowa, no one is talking about Donald Trump. That's why he's popping off on Twitter. There are Twitter addiction therapy groups, and he should check in with his local chapter."
Cruz's official account also tweeted about the feud, taking a swipe at Trump's past of favoring more liberal-leaning policies, especially...

CRUZ is being controlled by a bunch of HANDLERS! Doesn’t speak well of his ability to be IN CONTROL!
One of the fears I have about this guy in an executive position.
There is no link so you can’t find it.
Ok just make accusations with no substance!
Did not even know there was a “dumb movie thread”
Thanks for the ‘snarky’ answer.
Take care.........pilgrim
Another display of The Cruz team’s frantic efforts to belittle Trump.
On behalf of the Trump supporters, I would like to thank you for displaying how desperate the Cruz team has become.
Thank you.
Sad to see The Donald, of all people, take the bait.Complaining about the Iowa results makes him look weak. And for what, maybe at best one delegate??
Who says the guy has no sense of humor!
Yeah. Right. Like anyone would appoint you the arbiter of social ineptitude.
Trump = FIRED
And Trump just put up a couple more tweets, to prove [the Cruz campaign right]; he needs some intervention.

Well in a few weeks Cruz will be dropping out due to lack of interest and we will need a Cruz addiction withdrawal thread on FR. :-)
Oh yeah, Ted Cruz is so desperate to get out from under his front-runner status...LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
LOL!!
There are things said about all candidates that I think are funny.
Joe Scarborough â€@JoeNBC 9m9 minutes ago Joe Scarborough Retweeted Ted Cruz Maybe your people shouldn't lie about Ben Carson getting out of the race. Being glib doesn't work here
They should.
He's playing the victim here, especially after trashing Dr. Carson himself, which all the Trumpettes here seem to be claiming the, "I Can't Remember" song.
Go for it if you want but your guy is as sensitive as a hand grenade, so this crying is reminding me of my daughter at the age of two!
Cruz is beating The Donald at the insult game of late.
Please post source showing that Cruz said Carson was dropping out.
Typical Trump projection: his own people were peddling the same Carson falsehood in Iowa on Monday night.
Just a Trump Temper Tantrum.
I’m not a Cruz supporter, but he won Iowa fair and square. And I’d trust President Cruz with Supreme Court appointments over Trump in a New York minute.
This same Donald Trump who just weeks ago called Dr. Carson a serial pedophile.
Yeah, but who read the tweets?
Yeah, you did. And guess what? The news cycle revolves around them.
And at least he knows that Twitter is a powerful communication medium, unlike many of the dullards running that think that an app is too complex for them to understand.
Here is a hint: The Dems WILL HAVE a digital “ground game” that will bury any candidate that doesn’t know how to use the web. Cruz being the #1 example of a candidate that thinks it’s a joke.
“Rick Tyler, a spokesman for the Cruz campaign, then suggested in a statement to NBC News that Trump should check in to a “Twitter addiction therapy group.”
Sounds about the intelligence level of your average Cruz supporter. Keep digging Ted.
Oh C’mon that was classy and funny and makes the Donald look like the lune he really is all at the same time!
