For those who do not know, Bob Vander Plaats is a ginormous well respected evangelical leader in Iowa. Well, Vander Plaats decides to endorse Cruz (which I think is also dumb, but that's neither here nor there) and Donald Trump loses his shyt:

Trump Slams Evangelical Leader Vander Plaats on Twitter

By Greg Richter | Sunday, 31 Jan 2016 01:00 PM

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump unleashed a slew of Twitter attacks on Iowa evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats Sunday morning, the second time he has done so in less than a week.

Trump says that Vander Plaats, head of the Iowa-based Family Leader, asked him to stay in his hotels for free and also requested he speak at an event while seeking $100,000 for himself.

He made the same statements on Tuesday in a similar Twitter storm. At that time, Vander Plaats said he and his family stayed for free in Trump's hotels because Trump insisted he do so in hopes of getting his endorsement. When Vander Plaats instead backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump attacked, Vander Plaats said.

Trump is butthurt.

I am surprised, however, that he did this especially since he was first in the DMR poll.

Not that I want to see this happen in any way shape or form, but Trump vs. Hillary would be hilarious in a sick sort of way, the mud flinging would be epic.

He's been going off on Vanderplatts for over 3 weeks now though. This is MK all over again.

Remember how Vander Plaats and gang got all butthurt over their online poll thing they had going on because Randal won/beat Cruz? They stopped hosting right before the final round. I'm inclined to believe Trump that they are a bunch of phonies.

Good! Someone needs to take down this "king maker"

 

[puppetmaster]

Trump want Cruz to do well so trumps pals the Clinton's can disqualify Cruz

God Bless t'Rump if he succeeds in destroying the establishment of the GOP.

What happens after that might be kind of scary, though.

If I see Hitler going after Stalin, I can rejoice in their mutual destruction, but I cannot bring myself to root for either one.

t-rump, that's a good one I didn't hear before.

Trump's luxury brand is dead, that's the truth. Probably hurts his ego.

Trump's allegation seems to be that Vander Plaats asked for $100,000 for himself too, not that he was paid anything. There were reports after 2012 that Santorum's campaign paid Vander Plaats a ton of money to get his endorsement. I wouldn't discount Trump's accusation here.

I have 0 doubts he (and maybe even Steve King) was paid to endorse Cruz, too.

I believe that all of these people were paid, Steve King is corrupt as is Vandeplaats.

"There were reports after 2012 that Santorum's campaign paid Vander Plaats a ton of money to get his endorsement. I wouldn't discount Trump's accusation here. "

Let me guess, Foster Freiss made a nice, tax-free donation to Vander Plaats's organization/

Remember what Kent Sorenseon said? He wasn't the only person in Iowa politics with his hand out. The whole caucus process is still as crooked as hell.

Short for "Tyrannosaurus Asshole."
