There's a big difference. One is pandering, trying to appeal to both sides of the issue. The other is an honest response....problem is, we all know what happens to stuff that is supposed to happen in the future.
Cruz has maintained the same position, no flip flops. It may just as well be reported in breaking news that Trump flip flopped on the wall: Donald Trump changed his mind on the wall!!! He now says he wants a big beautiful door to let Mexicans in!!!!!!
Trump says exactly that about a door to let Mexicans in. If I leave out the rest of his statement and scream he has flipped on his position it doesn’t make it so. It just takes part of a position out of context and tells a lie.
And you can't see both statements as being true?
There is no difference.
He doesn’t support ethanol subsidies and has presented a timeline to get rid of them.
First of all, spending bills initiate in the House. Not in the Senate or in the Executive branch. President Cruz would have to entice the House to cut the subsidies, starting with the budget for 2018. 2022 is a reasonable goal to accomplish the phase out of ethanol subsidies.
“There’s a big difference.”
Not really. It is called kicking the can down the road. Politicians are experts at it.
