Because Donald Trump is the most presidential of the GOP candidates, it stands to reason that he spent the day before the Iowa caucuses doing what any presidential candidate should:
I will be going to church in Iowa this morning with my wife, Melania. After church I will be making two speeches and touring the State!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2016
And, to be clear, he did that too. However, he spent a good portion of the day in engaging in Twitter feuds with Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, the evangelical leader of The Family Values organization, Bob Vander Plaats, and of course, his GOP primary opponent Ted Cruz:
The great State of Nebraska can do much better than @BenSasse as your Senator. Saw him on @greta – totally ineffective. Wants paid for pols.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016
.@BenSasse looks more like a gym rat than a U.S. Senator. How the hell did he ever get elected? @greta
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016
Amazing that Ted Cruz can't even get a Senator like @BenSasse, who is easy, to endorse him. Not one Senator is endorsing Canada Ted!

.@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

.@bobvanderplaats is a total phony and con man. When I wouldn't give him free hotel rooms and much more, he endorsed Cruz. @foxandfriends

The Cruz campaign issued a dishonest and deceptive get out the vote ad calling voters "in violation." They are now under investigation. Bad!

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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2016
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!

Which isn’t to say he didn’t have something left in the tank for Fox News:
By not doing the failed, poorly rated debate, I was able to make the point of not allowing "unfairness" – while raising $6,000,000 for VETS.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2016
If I would have done the last debate, a record would have been set (instead of the poor ratings recieved). Also, VETS got $6,000,000.
