Trump was shocked that Cruz came out against ethanol subsidies because that's the only way you can win Iowa:
But he's very happy to announce an endorsement from Sarah Palin, who called to end ALL energy subsidies in 2011:
Asked Tuesday whether she supports the federal subsidy of ethanol, an always critical issue in the presidential nominating cycle, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin went one step further and called for the elimination of all energy subsidies.
"I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated," Palin told RCP during a quick stop at a coffee shop in this picturesque town tucked into the south-central Pennsylvania countryside. "And we need to make sure that we're investing and allowing our businesses to invest in reliable energy products right now that aren't going to necessitate subsidies because, bottom line, we can't afford it."
If she runs for president, Palin plans to make energy issues a centerpiece of her campaign and will tout her record as governor on restructuring the oil tax regime in Alaska and initiating a massive natural gas pipeline project, which currently remains in limbo.
Her emphatic stance against ethanol subsidies may ruffle some feathers in the nation's first voting state of Iowa, but it will also win her kudos from fiscal conservatives who praised former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty when, in a speech announcing his candidacy in Des Moines, he called for the phasing out of the federal subsidies that cost taxpayers about $5 billion last year.
Yep - Trump is a celebrity with a TV show.
Look at the bright side. Now Cruz can become either Attorney general or go on the Supreme Court...at either of which job he would be a real asset to the country and put his many constitutional and legal talents to good/better use!
It was about the over use of ‘green’ stuff - not you, I was agreeing. :)
Agree. Ethanol is a stupid idea.
Hey, don't hate the player, hate the game.
Like I said, if you want to beat the Left, then you need to rip a page out of their playbook. If Trump's a minor celebrity, that's more power to him and an asset, not a liability.
Like I said, no Republican was going to win with the same old playbook they've been doing since the days of Alf Landon. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 elections. That's not Trump's fault.

Jeb spent $70MM and dropped. Trump spent $250k and is #1. The more the opponents spend the worse they do. Let the Dems spend billions. Trump can save his spending for October, no one can remember what happened before then anyway.
Hehehe
Do you realize that the people in those Trump crowds are just like you and mean? Or do you look down on them too like the Washington establishment.
Don’t you know anybody but cruz can change their minds for any reason at any time with no consequence?
Smart cookie.
GO TRUMP GO!
. I love Cruz but Mr. Personality he ain’t. I knew he would have trouble getting traction and the polls confirm he is toast. I will certainly vote for him though.
Some friends and I went to a Ted Cruz event on Monday. Both had Carley signs in their yards. Went by today and they’re gone. They loved Ted.
I doubt Hillary would appoint him.
Bitterness is unbecoming. Besides, Cruz is going to win Iowa, right?
Good to know you are very comfortable with The Donald donating to very liberal causes and very liberal people...
Bet you like the sound of Commissioner Sharpton when The Donald appointments him head of the EEOC.
Or would you rather have The Donald appoint him as Race Czar???
MSM mistreatment is to be expected. It is up to us to turn out an electorate with a plurality that cannot be defeated by cheating.
If we elect Trump; we need to keep the receipt.
We may be wanting to return the item after we get it home and open the package.
I agree with Cruz to not burn our food. That is senseless and expensive.
If ethanol can be made from petroleum feedstocks that cannot be made into gasoline, that would be a good source of ethanol.
I do not know chemistry. Please, an engineer help out with information.
It's his money and he can do with it what he wants. Only a fascist would care otherwise.
