Perennial winner Donald Trump found himself facing unfamiliar defeat in Iowa Monday night when he came in second place against Ted Cruz in the Republican caucuses there. In a brief speech, however, Trump held no grudges, saying, "I love you people, I love you people...We finished second and I want to tell you something...we're just honored."

Trump added that in fact he was so grateful for all Iowa had done for him that he might just "come here and buy a farm." Watch the full speech, below. Jeva Lange
