I will admit that I can’t understand Trump’s stance on Ethanol. I am in line with Cruz whom I understand is against the subsidies, but later came out and said he would be in favor of a phase out of the subsidies. Maybe it’s a case where the actions support the goal, ie to win. Once he wins, he’ll take CRuz’s line on Ethanol. Then again, I don’t know the facts. For example, does the gov’t pay these guys to make Ethanol? Do we pay them cash, tax incentives or what? Secondly, what do they use corn cobs which are good for nothing but lighting your woodburning stove, or real food, like corn. If it’s actually food that they’re using, then that is pure and simply “terrible!” Also, thirdly, is Ethanol good for our cars and in the long run our economy? I hardly think so. But then again don’t know.
I liked Newt in 2012 race, and in fact he was ahead in the polls until Romney started with the negative ads, and the misinformation, then Santorum followed suit, and Paul Ryan piled on. And then our guy is out.
I guess what I’m saying is that this is the way politics work in this country. You play to win. Trump, like the others, throws some twists of the truth out there just like the rest of them...but by far NOT the worst (You don’t think Rubio is ten times worse?). The democrats are full of straw men. Hillary thought she could score some quick points going after Trump as a sexist until she got slapped silly.
But with Trump the monikers stick. He likes Cruz probably more than any other candidate, but he’s going to do what it takes to win.
You post a falsehood early on. Sen. Cruz has consistently been for a phase out of ethanol, and in 2014, introduced legislation to end the ethanol mandate, and the blendwall, with a five year phasout of the ethanol mandate.
You have believed trump’s lies.
