Ted Cruz 2016!
If Trump were against subsidies, and he’s not given he’s a self admitted crony capitalist, he would have called this guy a loser and walked away. Probably would have tweeted about him a few minutes later.
Donald Trump recently came out for ethanol subsidies, he could NOT be more wrong! Listen in to the facts on ethanol and why it is dangerous to America!

We need to completely get rid of ALL farm subsidies. It has destroyed the average farmer while benefiting only corporations and those who “game” the system. Spoken from an Iowan who sees it with my own eyes!
I didn’t hear “you’re stupid,” “loser,” or the “F” bomb. It was like a parent talking to a child and then the ultimatum.
Awesome!
;)
That was VERY impressive. I sincerely thank you for posting that.
Over the past several weeks I have tilted towards Cruz. This interview certainly reinforces that opinion. I wish he could communicate that well in speeches, candidly.
Ted Cruz gave a reasoned and detailed response. Compare that with Trump, who can’t construct a sentence without a profanity.
Do you suppose he is backed by Big Oil? ;)
Ethanol farmers are among the biggest welfare recipients out there. ADM has their fingers in nearly every aspect of the federal bureaucracy. End ethanol mandates and subsidies. Ethanol is for drinking and corn is for eating.
Ethanol doesn’t matter to 99.99% of the population.
dontcha just love it???
Ted is the smartest guy in the room, no matter what room he walks into, especially the Senate Chamber.
What you witnessed there is a Man having his mind changed by facts and reason, no doubt.
The page you posted has a great video of Cruz talking to an Iowa voter! Here’s the direct YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi5IZ9StVUI
I like the argument based on principle: end all subsidies. And the awareness that the economy isn’t a zero-sum game - reduce crippling regulations and everybody comes out ahead.
Ohhhh Canada!
I’d have explained it differently.
Corn is FOOD, not fuel!
The Federal government has no business subsidizing Corn to make it a fuel.
Corn as a fuel:
-screws up engines,
-reduces gas mileage,
-costs more to turn into fuel than petroleum,
-passes that cost on to consumers,
-does NOTHING to control pollution because with the reduced mileage the
“pollutants per mile” don’t improve!
Every other candidate would have pandered to him.
That is a president talking. Drop the mic.
I watched the whole video.
HELLO MR. PRESIDENT
The farmer may work very hard but if he takes subsidies then in principle he’s no different than a hood rat taking an EBT card instead of finding a job. You owe your existence to politicians not your own merit.
