Trump Calls Evangelical Cruz Endorser ‘Phony and Con Man’ in Tweetstorm

The Iowa caucuses are tomorrow, and Donald Trump is heading into the final stretch with a tweetstorm against Ted Cruz and a major endorsement he’s received in Iowa.

Evangelical Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, endorsed Cruz this election cycle, and Trump alleges he’s a “con man” who only gave his support to Cruz after Trump refused to give him “free hotel rooms and much more”:

.@bobvanderplaats is a total phony and dishonest guy. Asked me for expensive hotel rooms, free (and more). I said pay and he endorsed Cruz!

.@bobvanderplaats asked me to do an event. The people holding the event called me to say he wanted $100,000 for himself.Phony @foxandfriends

And of course he went after Cruz too:

Ted Cruz is totally unelectable, if he even gets to run (born in Canada). Will loose big to Hillary. Polls show I beat Hillary easily! WIN!

Ted Cruz is in trouble for not reporting his bank borrowing in his very important Financial Disclosure Form. Very low interest loans, scam!

Only one more day until we find out if tweetstorms equal votes, folks…
