4. Vander Plaats and the Dutch Reform Church
The Dutch Reform Church was the primary instigator and supporter of Apartheid in South Africa, convincing Afrikaners that they were surperior to blacks. They are an extremist religious organization, and they have a stranglehold on that corner of the state of Iowa.

Their college (Northwestern College in Orange City) recently honored Bob Vander Plaats as a distinguished alumnus. He is Nussle's main rival for the GOP nomination. What if all the focus against Nussle this early in the campaign leads to Vander Plaats being the GOP nominee? What if he won the governors race? Are you scared yet?
