But what Cruz actually said about ethanol: ...I think we should have an all-of-the-above approach, but it should be driven by the market."
So a free market speech is what Trump is attacking?
Isn't the Free Market a conservative principle?
The government shouldn't be in the business of creating winners or losers.
So Trump is for government subsidies.....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CNN..... Trump later called on a pro-ethanol activist with the group America's Renewable Future, who was given front-row seating Friday. The activist, who a group spokeswoman said was invited to the rally by the Trump campaign earlier this week, asked if Cruz's opposition to ethanol was because of his ties to "big oil."
"Yes it is," Trump replied.

How very conservative of Trump... attacking Cruz with a Democrat talking point.
Ping!
Ted Fires a shot across the bow of the SS Trump and Trump responds by firing into its own deck.
Cruz is the real deal if he can win Iowa after attacking King Corn.
He attacked Bush on Fannie and Freddie the same way.....he attacked Walker from the union thug play book.....my main problem with Trump is that he attacks FROM THE LEFT A HELLUVA LOT!!! What does this say about the man's beliefs? I think it's pretty clear. There's a knee jerk liberal still roaming around in Trump's head.
We have fallen from low information voters to no information voters.
8 posts in and not a single “you’re bashing Trump. This is what the media wants. Cruz did a TPP thingy.” They must all still be sleeping.
Anyone who thinks Trump is ‘really’ conservative has a big surprise coming.
That said, he has a lot of good approaches to the screwed up bloated government, immigration and defense. He is not hindered by big contributors from adopting the “America” concerns the majority of voters are very concerned about and he could very well roll the Primaries to a landslide of delegates.
Because of his ‘contributor independence’ or beholden to anyone,lots of people will not be pleased with his actual POTUS actions that might not actually reflect his campaign speeches.
The Donald will beat the hell out of anything dem and a good dose of castor oil might actually be good for us.
Another reason why I’m voting for Cruz. No Trump. No Jeb.
The first chore for a candidate is to win the Iowa Caucuses then
it’s on to the Nov. election. The question may be who is the best
GOP candidate able to win nationwide and support that one.
In the last 10 Presidential elections Iowa has voted for:
DEM .. 6 (88, 92, 96, 00, 08, 12)
GOP .. 4 (76, 80, 84, 04)
Cruz and Trump are both wrong. They should both reject ethanol production outright. It’s a very poor gasoline substitute for many reasons. It couldn’t survive in a free market.
Cruz deserves credit for opposing the subsidies, however. If he can get that passed in to law, it could free up a lot of corn for food. Trump needs to get on board.
“So Trump is for government subsidies..... “
No Trump is for winning. In Iowa you reject the Ethanol subsidy at your own peril. Trump isn’t willing to do it and frankly neither would I if I were running and I think making Ethanol out of corn is the wrong way to go. Sometimes you just have to get yourself elected.
Cruz and Trump are opening up the discussions... Both amazing men.
