I'd be satisfied you weren't fibbing when you find and link hard evidence that Cruz was ever for KEEPING the subsidies in place. Because as I've done my due diligence on Cruz, I keep finding that he's had the same position on illegal immigration and ethanol -- that is, that government has zero business requiring ethanol in fuel OR subsidizing the false market thus created for it, for years, and the subsidies need to be phased out.

Donald Trump, on the other hand -- Oh, I forgot. Donald Trump gets a free pass from you right down the line no matter what he as said or done.

Trump can get free passes from whoever he likes but the facts do not change. Regardless of who wants them to or claims otherwise.

Trump will do one thing. Destroy. America is not a business deal. It’s a country. Or used to be before people elected liberals. Just look what his Romneyesque ‘both sides of the issue’ crap has done to FR in a matter of months. Full blown civil war because some people cannot accept the facts and yet again, prefer pushing someone other than a conservative into the nomination.

Hero worship always leads to one outcome. Fallen ‘heroes’ and the fallout in their wake. In this case, that fallout will be America. And the blame will fall squarely on the shoulders of those who once again put fantasy over principle. If truth upsets people, so be it. It will still be the truth after their tantrum.

Oh ? He has a five year plan to phase them out. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but 1) Congress has to act to actually do anything about the subsidies and 2) A President is elected to a four year term.

That's just kicking the can down the road.

But, since Ted gives such a good speech job, the people hear what they want to hear, then roll over and go to sleep with a grin on their face.
