Beholden to no one but himself...he is his own special interest. Whether he wants to go down in the books as the greatest dealmaker in history, or whether he wants to stand on principle is a question he answered for me in Iowa.

Very shortly after Governor Branstad declared that Cruz needed to be defeated, whatever it takes because Cruz had said he would get rid of the ethanol mandate (the Governor;s son is an Ethanol Industry lobbyist), Trump came out saying he supported the mandate and would use the EPA to enforce it to the fullest extent of the law.

Heat off Trump, on Cruz, and no one saw the deal that pledged 10% of our fuel mileage and damage to countless fuel systems for a truce.

That little deal was for Iowa.

I wonder what he'll trade (of ours) for a bigger state?

Yup, the people who want the greatest deal maker to build the wall do not realize what the word “deal” means. I was talking to a fan of DT’s yesterday about the wall. I told him that Mexico wasn’t going to pay for it and the one way to get it done was for DT to cut the amount of money sent to mexico. He agreed. I then reminded him that he would still be paying for the wall through his taxes. He laughed when he realized I was right and that he had missed that part.
