“Lessee, Cruz, phase out the subsidy; Trump increase the subsidy.”

You’re just a Trump hater.

He’s so great he’s going to reduce the deficit by increasing spending.

Worked for Obama so Trump can do it twice as good.

Oh BTW, welcome to Bizzarro world.

TPP hasn’t been passed to my knowledge.

TPA also applies to whomever the next President is.

Hahaha are you kidding me? Trump has been taking incoming since July, from the party, the media, the dems, EVERYONE. All the while Cruz hid behind Trump like a blast shield and set up his entire machine in the background

Now that shield is gone and Cruz can’t take the heat. He’s counting on teh likes of Levin and Beck to carry his water because he’s a precious little child that no one is allowed criticize.

Well if you don’t vet your guy the Dems will in the general and if you think Trump is bad you ain’t seen nothing yet.

What's wrong with Trump being for the ethanol mandate?

What's wrong with the Obamacare mandate? There is no difference - being forced to pay higher prices to pay off one particular industry.

If he had said he was against ethanol but was for growing corn for consuming, would that change the act of growing corn?

Bad analogy. A better analogy would be if Trump said you were required to buy enough corn to feed every member of your family 2 ears of corn per meal, 3 meals a day every day - even if you are allergic to corn.

Add this to your argument.

Had Cruz not reported the loan no one would know about it now. The error was discovered because the other Cruz documents the reporters looked over contained the information. Information Cruz provided. There was no attempt to hide it.

Cruz favors ending the subsidy in 5 years. Note that it would be a full year after a first term ended so technically, Cruz wouldn’t be ending the subsidy either.


Exactly. A year into POTUS Cruz’s second term. This is a punt. Obvious beltway slickster flim flam like one of Ryan’s 25 year budgets or the perennially renewed “doc fix”. Sorry, not buying this one Tricky Teddy.

Ted will always have those who will alibi for him. The simple truth is that Cruz is not a natural born citizen.

So you go for the guy that wants to increase the mandate.

That’s rational...

My vote isn’t going to turn on ethanol, just so you know.


This is the whole point. It’s silly of Levin to blow this up to attack Trump. It’s just not a big deal when we are talking about a $500 billion trade deficit with china or an invasion from Mexico.

And if we want to talk about crony capitalism how about the 5,000 page Goldman Sachs authored TPP that Golden Boy Cruz enabled with his support of TPA. Ethanol is a pimple on the butt of TPP. That is the big crony capitalist enchilada.

We will have to see what the fine Cruz will have to pay for violating FEC rules. Is that getting back on subject?

Levin does not seem to get it . . . like Rush DOES . . . that Trump supporters are NOT HUNG UP on the old conservative incantation.

TO WIT:
1. We want SOME parts of government to be BIG right now, namely, military, infrastructure (BUILD that WALL!), and whatever agency rounds up and deports illegal aliens.

2. We are SICK of the FREE TRADE Kool-aid. It may have sounded good in the past, but it has gutted American manufacturing and jobs.

3. Trump people are NOT NEOCONS. Do not want to establish ANY kind of globalist empire . . . recognizing that such a beast would not be for the benefit of the American people.

4. The key is to take control of the U.S. government by the American, WORKING, middle class. THEN we can work on making it smaller (a good thing, of course, in the longer run).

Other traditional Republican ideas are absolutely fine . . . especially the values agenda of evangelicals.

Etc.
