Trump had been favoured to win the Republican caucus which took place on Monday, but in fact he only just scraped into second place according to The Independent.   Relative newcomer Senator Ted Cruz pipped Trump to the post, causing many people to question the business mogul's political ability and reliance on his celebrity status.
