GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday morning to slam fellow GOP candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bob Vander Plaats, a social-conservative leader in Iowa who has endorsed Cruz.
Trump posted, “The Cruz campaign issued a dishonest and deceptive get out the vote ad calling voters “in violation.” They are now under investigation. Bad!”

He was referencing a mailer the Cruz campaign sent to Iowa voters has generated much criticism.
Then Trump moved on to call Vander Plaats a “phony.”
.@bobvanderplaats is a total phony and dishonest guy. Asked me for expensive hotel rooms, free (and more). I said pay and he endorsed Cruz!

Trump then switched back to going after Cruz, attacking him for being born in Canada, and referencing a previous report about Cruz failing to disclose a loan from Goldman Sachs.
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!

Wow, just saw an ad – Cruz is lying on so many levels. There is nobody more against ObamaCare than me, will repeal & replace. He lies!
