Plaats is an American politician, hardly a preacher. You trying to say Plaats is like Falwel? What a joke, what a stretch.

In 2002, Vander Plaats unsuccessfully ran for the Iowa GOP gubernatorial nomination, losing to Doug Gross. Then Vander Plaats was a candidate for the 2006 Iowa Republican gubernatorial nomination, and had to drop out because he can’t get support or run a campaign properly. He can’t rause money, either.

In the Republican primary on June 8, 2010, Vander Plaats lost to Branstad, he lost by 10 points. This politician can’t win in Iowa.

You’re trying to say this loser politician is a preacher or something. He is as much a preacher as I am. He is a politician first. Period.

And not a very good one. He deserves to be insulted for playing the freebie game politicians do, he isn’t being insulted for being Christian. Some of you Cruz supporters are real laughs, you think a lame claim like this is going tu win Iowa for Cruz? That Trump insults “Christians”.

Get lost. In fact this politician who can’t win maybe says Ted can’t either.

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., actually IS a preacher, not a politician like Plaats. I think sume of you Cruz supporters are insultung great Christians like Falwell, Jr.

I graduated from LU with my Bachelor’s several years ago. If I were you I wouldn’t insult Cruz supporters so easily.

Am I disappointed in Falwell Jr’s endorsement: sure, but he has a right. That said, knowing the University student body, and staff I don’t think many of them will follow suit..

I knew none of that. Thanks for posting. Sorry it isn’t up as a thread of its own, as it’s informative.

I especially like posts like yours that do inform us.

No, he is a lawyer, not a preacher.
