Trump did better than expected in Iowa, because he went full-on for ethanol . . . “I LOVE Ethanol”. Scott Walker had been poling well, and thought he was taking the orthodox Republican position, but he was not able to recover and dropped out. Cruz won the caucus, but his support didn’t translate so well in New Hampshire.
Ted Cruz is the ONLY serious presidential candidate I can remember with the guts to campaign on a promise of ending the ethanol fuel mandate.
