I Thought The Pundits here said Trump was going to drop out of the race last month??? That was his plan. Then he started believing his own bullshit. It's a fatal flaw in a Flim Flam Man.

Rick Tyler, a Cruz spokesman, emphasized that the loans were taken against Cruz family assets, and that under federal campaign law, the Cruzes can never recoup the money, effectively making it an out-of-pocket expense.
In total, Cruz put $1.2 million in personal funds toward the 2012 Senate race, some of which was borrowed. “No donor paid off his loans,” Tyler said.
And the amount that Cruz put into the campaign from personal funds was disclosed to the FEC in a timely manner, Tyler said; the error came from omitting the fact that some of those personal funds started as loans.
So, the guy liquidated his life's savings to help finance his Senate run, and for that he's some sort of crook? This is no different than the schidt they ginned up over Gingrich's Kennesaw State college class.

So, did Trump lie, per the OP's accusation?
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

Not if YOU believe Cruz's failure to file properly is worse than Hillary Clinton's varied transgressions.
Personally, I see a difference of several orders of magnitude.

I never met anyone who wore cowboy boots with a suit who wasn't a douche. HEY! oh well nevermind.......... 
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Hey!! Cruz doesn't lie.
We're told that a lot here, it's on the net, so it must be true

The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

Trump fans dig it when he lies. It makes them like him more.

Only 12 more days until no one hears about (or thinks about) Iowa for another four years.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Yeah...but the consequences of hinging our entire existence on a State that has only voted Republican one time in the last thirty years is forever. (G.W.Bush 2nd term)
It will be interesting. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump share a lot of the same voters, so who knows how it will go while Sanders is still relevant?

It simply comes down to who gets out the vote in Iowa. Traditionally, those Iowan voters who would typically vote for Cruz are notoriously faithful caucus participants.
The broad and diverse demographics of the Trump voter are such that a substantial turn out is a daunting task and isn't always a given.
If Trump can't encourage and instill the motivation necessary to get out his vote, Cruz will likely have the edge. If Trump gets his peeps out of the warmth of their homes, it could make for an interesting evening.
With Cruz clearly needing an Iowa win to salvage his campaign, coupled with the notoriously faithful who vote for the likes of Santorum, Huckabee and Cruz, unless Trump can somehow get out his vote, similar in fashion to how the dems did so for Obama vs. Clinton,I'd have to give the slight advantage to Cruz.
If somehow the exit polls manifest Trump bettered Cruz as to the Evangelical vote,and Trump pulls it off,then credit would need to be given to Branstad, Palin and Trump's team's ability to manage up enough of a ground game to beat the odds at the 11th hour.
Regardless of the result in Iowa, NH is going to make Iowa's caucus appear like a vote for a 6th grade homeroom class president in comparison.
IMO, if Trump pulls off Iowa,then NH and SC, game's over before Super Tuesday. If Cruz wins Iowa but not NH and SC,game's still on for Super Tuesday but only if a handful of candidates drop out of the race. For those that may drop out, their endorsements may impact upon the Super Tuesday dynamic.
All in all, this has been, without question, the most surreal but exciting primary campaign I've witnessed my entire paying attention to politics life.

You people don't seriously think that Hitlery and captain insaneo Sanders aren't going to be trumpeting this from every lib media outlet? Wait till they start accusing him of child molestation and the sinking of the Maine..
