Yet another example that the Establishment hates and fears Cruz.
Did the governor say anything about Trump?
----
Even with Mr. Trump's tweet (wow he highly respects someone that is attacking an opponent),
this fact cannot be overcome:
"Branstad's son, Eric, works with the group America's Renewable Future, which has targeted the Texas senator. "

Plain and simple Gov. Terry Branstad is an ethanol gibmedat. Will we ever be rid of this evil ethanol?
One small state - Iowa - hold the rest of the nation hostage to ethanol.

Now the darn commodity alky is more expensive than the petroleum derived portion of the gasoline.
So it’s actually raising the price of the fuel too.
To: Nervous Tick
Also in Iowa today.....
Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate
Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation's gasoline supply.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.
"The EPA should ensure that biofuel ... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard]," Trump said.
Because small governmentin is hard.

Doesn’t the Left hate Branstad for refusing to grow government and for keeping the budget balanced?
To: cripplecreek
One nice little gem from that article:
Trump spoke very briefly about the ethanol mandate at the beginning of his speech, reading from notes in a straightforward fashion, before continuing onto other subjects in the more lively manner he usually shows in stump speeches.
In other words, "I'm just going to pander for a moment with these notes my political advisors handed me, before I start my speech about how terrible politicians are."

The ethanol lobby and the meat packers run Iowa politics. Gotta keep that ethanol subsidy and those illegals in the meat packing industry.

Well he did say he was going get things done. Here is example A of what the Mouth of Manhattan considers getting things done: High Meat Prices, High Fuel Prices. High Grain Costs...

Because limited government and capitalism are silly concepts that won’t make America great again.
/idiocy
Do you know how many posters told me yesterday that conservatism wasn’t the deciding issue in the primary because we had to “save the country first”? It was mind boggling.

Palin endorsed Branstad in 2010, in 2 hours Palin might endorse Trump, can Branstad be far behind.
If Terry wants to beat Cruz he can lend his organization to Trump to fill in for Trump’s lack of campaign infrastructure and help get out these first time voters Trump gets at his rally to the polls to beat Cruz.
