After Trump came in second to Ted Cruz during Monday's Iowa Caucus, Trump complained quite loudly, demanding recounts and overall just being a sore loser. Ted Cruz responded by coining a new word: Trumpertantrum, which soon went viral with people all over the country using the hashtag. Cruz's campaign office says he came up with the word himself. Trump responded to this by laughing it off and joking that he'll trademark the term.
I think that while it's really funny, it's also kind of ridiculous, because still, the candidates seem to just be attacking each other, mudslinging. Mudslinging has been used a lot by candidates in the past, being a very important part of campaigning, like in McKinley's race against William Jennings Bryan. Also, lots of terms have been coined revolving around political issues and events of the time like Mark Twain when he coined the term Gilded Age.

Ted Cruz is far less clever and articulate then Mark Twain.
