Self-serving comments by ethanol-crony Branstad. Dude pleaded with Iowans, “Anybody but Cruz!” And the good Republicans of Iowa listened attentively and voted for... Cruz. Unsurprising that he’d try to diminish Ted’s win.
Actually, they didn’t vote for Cruz. Only 28% of republicans voted for Cruz. And even that number is suspect.
The rest of the state voted for ethanol tax subsidies. 72% of the republicans and 100% of the democrats. That governor can add and subtract.
