As an influential evangelical Iowan, Bob Vander Plaats experienced what it was like to be friends with Donald Trump. The New York billionaire invited Vander Plaats and his family to visit New York several times, refusing to allow them to pay to stay at one of his hotels and lavishing kindness.
Then Vander Plaats - president of the Family Leader, which is opposed to abortion and gay marriage - decided to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) for president instead of Trump. On Tuesday, Trump skewered Vander Plaats on Twitter, calling him "phony" and "a bad guy." The attacks came as Trump announced that Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. had endorsed him...

Seems like he’s already won the base.
.@bobvanderplaats begged me to do an event while asking organizers for $100,000 for himself—a bad guy!
Why doesn’t phony @bobvanderplaats tell his followers all the times he asked for him and his family to stay at my hotels-didn’t like paying
“It’s Donald Trump exposed: He wants to be your friend when he thinks he can get something in return for that friendship,” Vander Plaats said Tuesday
He couldn’t buy this guy. He mistook him for a whore, and now he feels cheated.
Yeah, wait until he starts tweeting about them to the left.
no, he was right. he could shoot someone on fight avenue, with my luck it would probably be me, and his base wouldn’t care.
Cruz was pretty classy when Palin endorsed Trump

we dont need class!!!! we need vulgar, insulting, mean, yeah, mean!!! :)

maybe trump will throw someone a towel.
The Trump base is no smarter than the Obama base. The country will continue to decline under celebrity-induced destruction. Stand by and watch.
Trumps immigrant wives: Doing the jobs Americans won’t do.
Trump can't just say he's "disappointed." No.. he goes on a personal attack. Typical.
Keep it up, Trump. It's a long electoral season... this sh*t will catch up to you.
So.... What’s you point?
Does anything bother you even a little bit on this?
Anything that makes you even slightly uncomfortable with Trump?
Any mistake or misstep that you see with Trump at all?
I’m guessing not.
Here’s what he said to Michelle Malkin when she refused to worship the Donald

Ted's way will be Reagan's way. He will go over the heads of the congressmen and make his case to the American people, applying pressure from below.
Cruz is capable of this. Trump isn't.
Somebody asked Donald Trump for money? Can’t be very bright. Only suckers give money. The Donald doesn’t give money. He buys people.
No it will be bus loads of out of state voters bused in to Iowa that will give Trump the win.
BTW, those are the words of a bragging Trump supporter, and not mine.
Precisely.
The Trump base is no smarter than the Obama base. The country will continue to decline under celebrity-induced destruction. Stand by and watch.
Ouch.
exactly.. “ If you don’t do what I WANT, your scum...fat, ugly, mean”..
He is a child in a grown up body.
““It’s Donald Trump exposed: He wants to be your friend when he thinks he can get something in return for that friendship,†Vander Plaats said Tuesday”
Looks like a two-way street.
He couldn’t buy this guy. He mistook him for a whore, and now he feels cheated.

And “mean girl” Trump (BLESSED BE HIS NAME) does not handle rejection well. He’s used to having his supporters quickly (allegorically speaking) spread their legs or drop to their knees to worship him after some “sweet talk” and a promise or two that he may or, more likely, may NOT keep.
